Fee Waiver?

<p>Ok, first off, I know it’s really late to be applying for a fee waiver, but i procrastinated, and now, well, you know, i’m trying to apply for one really late…
So I’d like to know if:

  1. it’s too late? I definitely qualify for a fee waiver, but would admissions not be able to process my request in time for me to get my application in by the deadline?
  2. How should I apply for it? In the Step 3 of the online application, with the supplemental forms, it has a fee waiver request form that you just send to the admissions office. But in the instructions, it says to have your counselor send a letter. So should i just fill out and send the one in step 3, or ask my guidance counselor to send a letter (which would probably take a long time), or both?
    Thanks in advance for your help everyone!</p>

<p>I would suggest contacting the admissions office and explaining the situation. They may have you send in the application with the request and have you send the counselor letter as soon as possible, but check with them on their preferred procedure in this situation. Good luck.</p>

<p>You need to call them. But the issue is silly for such a small fee on a tight deadline. Just apply somewhere else if you aren’t serious.</p>
