Does asking for a fee waiver hurt your chances at admission?

Hello all,
Does directly asking a school for a fee waiver hurt your chances at admission? I've already spent around $700 on application fees, but still want to apply to more schools, as I can see myself attending these other schools, and have done quite a bit of research on them (so I'm not just shooting random apps). Question is, if I ask the schools for a waiver, will they think I don't care enough about the school to pay the full price of application fees, and have this affect my chances at admission??
Any input would be appreciated..
