We got no free applications that S used & D only applied to two schools--both required app fees. :-( We did receive some free apps but the kids weren't interested in those Us & totally ignored them.

DS received a free app in the mail from Clarkson University followed by a call from an admissions officer who was "in the area" and wanted to do an interview. DS declined. Didn't tell me about it until I asked if he had consided Clarkson or even looked at the application. He said it's too far, too cold and in the middle of no where. I responded with "how would you know that?You've never been there." From my perspective it appeared to be strong interest on the part of Clarkson. From his perspective he knew all he needed to know. :/

Has anyone gotten free apps from DePaul or RIT? DD has expressed interest in both, visiting from great distances, but they are the only ones that haven't waived the fee for her.

| Application Fee Waiver
FYI: If you email the admissions department/counselor for your region at schools you have formally visited (registered tour etc.) and ask them for an Application Fee Waiver code, you will more than likely get one. We visited a number of schools and received app fee waiver codes from all via email.

@Mamaduck - do you know anyone who graduated from RIT? Alumni are allowed to request a fee waiver for someone (I think they can request 1 /yr). We got one this way.
Generally does it seem like fee waivers come more from private rather than state schools? Of the 7 schools my son is planning to apply to, 2 are private and we got fee waivers for them but not the other 5 public schools.

@Confused - unfortunately, the only RIT alumni we know of are rather indirect (such as the dentist's brother or a friend's father). Oh well.

I throw out a lot of mail without looking at it but today son had a waiver from Rice based on his AP scores and a streamlined application for the University of Denver.

Yea, Amazon, the ones I am seeing cite AP scores as being the means of identification.

All of our emails/mail say "because of your accomplishments" but I don't know exactly which ones they are talking about....maybe that they cleaned their room, once, a couple months ago  .
I'm more surprised at people that AREN'T getting these. We get about 10 emails/day between the 2 kids....you are welcome to any of those .
