I got some emails from colleges telling me that they were waiving my application fee and wanted me to apply though their Acgievement Application or the Common App. If I go through the common app how would Ingo about applying these fee waivers? Does it happen automatically?
In the school-specific questions (where you choose major, academic interests, etc.) there’s usually one asking if you’ve received a fee waiver from the school.
@goldenbear2020 Couldn’t someone just lie about it then? How would they know?
If you check the box but haven’t received a fee waiver from the college, that would result in an unpaid app fee and probably delay or even prevent your app from being considered.
