<p>will it hurt my (already slim) chances if i use a fee waiver? my family's income is around $20,000 so i won't be able to apply to more than two or three schools without one.</p>
<p>not at all. They won't even note that fact. Penn admissions is need-blind for US citizens.</p>
<p>thanks! im glad that penn has its own individual fee waiver because i think that for other schools you need to have a college board fee waiver right? i asked my counselor for one and she didnt even know what it is, since im from puerto rico and practically no one from my school applies to the states.</p>
