<p>I sent the application fee waiver last week and I was wondering how it works out with the online common app. Will I have to pay and then get a refund, or will the computer system know?</p>
<p>When I did it online for EA, the fee was automatically waived since only medal winners can apply EA. I didn't have to do anything for the fee waiver. If you go through the online application for RD, you may encounter something that asks if you're a medal winner. From there, your fee will be waived. I applied EA, so I'm not quite sure how it works for RD. Give the admissions office a call or something if you can't figure it out.</p>
<p>Common app doesn't even know what a medal winner is. --I just left the commonapp fee unpaid. It was apparently fine, and I got in EA.</p>
<p>My bad, I missed the common app part.</p>
