<p>Is there an essay that comes with the application that all applicants must write or are the essay(s) always on the supplement?</p>
<p>Also, can you use one fee waiver to waive the application regardless of the number of schools you applied to with it?</p>
<p>The common app has a personal statement (minimum 250 word) essay and a brief elaboration on an extracurricular (150 word max) that all applicants must complete</p>
<p>And I haven’t used a fee waiver, but I was under the impression that you can only use each fee waiver for only one school, but I could be mistaken</p>
<p>Both fee waiver forms recommend you only use them for 4 schools each, though many exceed this, as it’s not an actual rule. You have to send a fee waiver request form or written request from your counselor to EACH school.</p>
