Getting fee waivers Forum

[thomas85]

Im looking to pick up as many fee waivers from T14 schools as possible. I know this is a dumb question but after a very quick google search, I still can't seem to figure how to get fee waivers from schools. I know lots of other people have done it, so it can't be that complicated.... Any pointers?

I sent emails - just explaining my financial situation + giving stats - to about 20 schools 2 days ago. The next day I received 6 fee waivers and I still haven't heard back from all the schools yet. Give it a shot. You'll get some.

Who all did you send it to?

The only T14 school I got a fee waiver from was Cornell. The rest were T1-T2 (Minnesota, WUSTL, etc...). Your numbers are probably way better than mine since you are mentioning T14 specifically. But I'd assume the same method would apply if you had good T14 numbers.
