Remember that you'll still have to pay the College Board extravagant fees to send your score transcript.

Brandeis is also free to apply to if one uses the online application (not the Common App.)

As Keilexandra said, these schools are NOT really free when you factor in costs of sending SAT/ACT scores.
(Unless they're sat optional).

Well you have to pay to send scores after the top four colleges you select in collegeboard for each test. After that I think it's $9.50 to send to each college.

Fin-IB, I think American fits that criterion.
but like oters have said, "free" applications aren't really "free." You still have to pay for SAT & ACT scores, if your school charges for transcripts, pastage for letters of rec, etc. plus a few more dollars if the school requires the Profile.

I would suggest not applying to these for the heck of it, because as others have said, it's not really free, but also because your acceptance to one of these could mean that somebody who really wants to go to there is rejected.

Compared to the ultimate costs associated with college, an application fee is peanuts. If your family would have a problem coming up with it, though--and it is certainly true that for many of us $75 is not a trivial expenditure--apply for a waiver. Not to apply to a school that you really want to go to for the sake of $50-75 is foolish.

some colleges offered me a free application
but they not exactly free
you still have to send them your SAT scores which cost like 25 bucks
i would suggest picking a 1 to 3 safeties that are "decently" ranked and offer scholarships

If I recall correctly SAT score per school is $10, much less than $25. If you are international and need to send the toefl it's $17 per school.
