<p>Hello,
I was told that New York City Residents do not have to pay for the application fee to apply to NYU. Is this true? I need to apply today so I'd like to get a yes or a no quickly.</p>
<p>If it is true, what do I need to do to get this service? I'm clicking the submit button but they want the fee.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Anyone!! Someone!! Helppppppp!</p>
<p>You were lied to.</p>
<p>I am not sure. I used a fee waiver so I didnt’ have to pay!</p>
<p>You were probably lied to, but if it WERE true, you would have had to get one from your high school or guidance counselor. So you’re out of luck.</p>
<p>That’s a lie. There’s no generally applicable NYC exception.</p>
<p>I paid the fee, I live within NYU territory. One of my friends paid the fee, he lives in NYU housing</p>
<p>Unless you have a fee waiver, you have to pay the fee even if you live on the moon</p>
<p>I realize the deadline is already passed but I’d just like to say that this is true. I live in NYC and when I applied I got an email saying that NYC residents don’t have to pay the application fee. I simply clicked the waiver button on the online application, that’s all. I didn’t get any special permission or anything.</p>
<p>It’s the only reason I applied because I hadn’t even looked at the school, and they accepted my application. Just for future reference.</p>
<p>Lauren is right. Fee waived for NYC students to encourage them to apply. This seems to be a secret on the web pages, but they do send the e-mail out.
Don’t know if it is based on High School address or home address. In the case I know of, both were NYC.</p>
