<p>OK so I sent the fee waiver request for Penn like 3 or 4 weeks ago but they still haven't mailed me back on whether they accepted it or not?
Should I just pay
or
should I just wait to call them, but risk not getting reviewed as they don't return until January 2 the day after the regular decision deadline....</p>
<p>I think if they don’t contact you, it’s been accepted</p>
<p>Anybody got more opinions on this?</p>
<p>I’m kind of worried about this as well. I sent mine around the same time and have not recieved any sort of confirmation. Hopefully they will update the portal after the office opens back up from winter break.</p>
<p>Also, did anybody else use Expanding College Opportunities wavers??</p>
<p>I sent mine about a week before the deadline. On the portal, it said “not satisfied.” So I waited a while, but then, today, it changed to “not paid.” Should I e-mail them? I would have to wait until Tuesday to call.</p>
<p>It’s in your interest to pay the $75 fee than wait till the last minute.Depending on the amount applications, they may not be able to get to all of them in time.</p>
<p>I sent in my fee waiver Jan 1st and on the 8th I received this email:</p>
