USC Fee Waiver-- URGENT PLEASE HELP

<p>Hi! </p>

<p>Sorry to scream at you in all caps but I'm in a bit of a crunch. </p>

<p>This is my second year with Questbridge (I was a college prep scholar and am a national college match finalist for RD) </p>

<p>I'm applying to USC RD and my application is due tomorrow because I'm applying to the Thornton School of Music. </p>

<p>My application is finished but I can't find the option for a Questbridge fee waiver anywhere on the application! I KNOW all QB finalists get fee waivers but where is the option? What do I do???? </p>

<p>Thanks
Prestofaust</p>

<p>PS. I looked on the QB page for help and all they said was to list "other" in the payments section but there is NO common app payments section! & then I asked USC and they said to list "QB finalist" on the common app page but that doesn't exist! I'm freaking outtt! Please help!!</p>

<p>Under Common App:
Profile section: the very last subsection states Common App Fee Waiver, answer yes.
THEN under the Testing Education section there is a subsection CBO: Answer 1 organization and under Organization 1 answer:QuestBridge. You will most likely have to go a little further and answer: Counselor’s organization: QuestBridge, Counselor’s prefix:Mr., Counselor’s email:<a href="mailto:questions@questbridge.org">questions@questbridge.org</a>, Counselor’s phone:+1.650-331-3280</p>

<p>This should help you. Good Luck!</p>

<p>Hi I tried this however the problem is that I can’t request a Common App Fee waiver for some reason in that section. Do you think it would be ok if I just filled out “Child of USC Employee” and then emailed admissions at USC about my problem just to get my application off (I really CANNOT afford $80 at the moment)? They’ll also be getting my Questbridge app when I forward it to them on Monday so they’ll know I’m a QB finalist. Or is this just a really bad idea…</p>

<p>btw thanks for your help!</p>

<p>Do everything EOW said and submit your application. Colleges don’t process your questbridge fee waiver until AFTER you’ve submitted your application. You shouldn’t get billed or charged. I suppose they have a list of finalists and take care of everything with that.</p>

<p>I don’t know if that helps you.</p>

<p>but the problem is that it won’t let me change my common app for some reason… & keeps redirecting me to a payment section… am I just going to get billed anyway??</p>
