<p>I was wondering if using an admission fee waiver would help or hurt the chance of being admitted for a non-minority student. Schools say that they are need-blind but the question still remains. Thanks for any input.</p>
<p>It will not affect your chances either way.</p>
<p>Agree, the waiver itself is irrelevant, but it implies that you will be asking for financial aid, which might lower your chances at a need-aware school, but that’s also irrelevant for an applicant, since it’s no reason not to apply, especially if you get a fee waiver!</p>
