The CollegeBoard sent me 8 fee waivers out of the blue...?

<p>So, in the mail a few weeks ago, the CollegeBoard sent me a packet of 8 fee waivers for college applications....I have no idea why....
My parents are both physicians (and that's stated in my Common App), so would colleges frown upon me using these waivers? Am I even allowed to use these?!</p>

<p>Am I the only one who received these fee waivers from them or…?</p>

<p>I’ll take that as a yes…</p>

<p>Thanks guyz <3 :*</p>

<p>I would call CollegeBoard tomorrow…if you have not requested these and do not qualify for them I would go under the assumption that CB sent them to the wrong person and perhaps someone who truly needed them is now without…</p>

<p>Okay, will do. Thanks, both of you!</p>

<p>Just got an email from the CollegeBoard stating: </p>

<p>“Because you performed well on the SAT®, we have mailed you a packet, Realize Your College Potential, that includes eight (8) college application fee waivers along with college planning information and resources.” </p>

<p>Interesting. Still unsure how it’d look to colleges if I were to use these, considering I’m fortunate enough to not have financial trouble with college apps. But it’s still tempting to save the money…haha</p>
