I know schools send fee waivers to people whose numbers suggest they probably wouldn't get in.
But what does it mean when you don't get a fee waiver, although you're roughly at their median, and got waivers from peer schools? Is it a giant 'we don't want you so don't even bother?'?

Yes it is. And ive heard rumors that they will share their list of people who didnt get the hint with peer schools at parties.

Getting or not getting a fee waiver doesn't mean jack shit. Seriously. My fee waivers did not correspond in any discernible way with my results last cycle.

I see. Not getting one still messes with your head though, I guess
