+1 I just got home and received a fee waiver and viewbook from Cornell. Very nice Viewbook they have.

Received Michigan and Cornell waivers in regular mail today.

I'm guessing the priority track isn't that important, so I'll take Duke's fee waiver w/o priority track. But still, based only on numbers I'm about a 99% admit at Duke so it's kind of strange.

Michigan fee waiver, custom letter, and viewbook via snail mail, Duke fee waiver (no priority track) via e-mail. Same stats as people who have received priority track invite; interesting?

I'm shocked you didn't receive a priority track. don't they know how awesome you are?!?

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic but if not, thanks, and if so, well what can I say? It's hard sometimes being me

not sarcastic, you're one of my faves plus a retake inspiration!

Cornell fee waiver (loved how it was in the "PS" line at the very end) via snail mail + viewbook.

got Duke waiver today- after being told they didnt offer merit waivers about 2 weeks ago!! i hope i get cornell soon...did anyone get it via email? I emailed them a few weeks ago- I guess I'll wait a few days before bugging them again.

[Padimud]

Received waivers from Duke, Virginia, and Arizona today. 3/day, I could handle this rate of return.

If it's anything like last cycle, UVA is a serial fee-waiver school, especially for a lot of people who are probably just far enough out that they might not apply. And what can I say? It boosts their app numbers (which looks good in USNWR). Columbia, though perhaps to a lesser extent, did this too... often to the people who would end up attending MVP and the like. For that matter, a lot of schools did this. So did Baylor... oh geez, I don't really know where I'm going with this.

[SamSeaborn2016]

I got Arizona this afternoon.

[smith8586]

Got Duke email, my first, today. Hoping for more soon.

If this is your first, you're not going to get many.

[RhubarbPie]

Duke priority track and waiver this afternoon via email.

[Kronk]

Yeah. Duke must've sent out a massive email. I'm a sucker for fee waivers, my application list continues to grow.

[Kronk]

Also--if you email Columbia, they now have a fee waiver application. Sometimes they also "hide" them, but I emailed them my stats and they said I would have a good chance of getting a fee waiver if I emailed them in September for an application.

UChicago doesn't grant by request, I also found out.
