<p>I heard from my friend that the first 6 colleges you send the common app to are free, is that true?</p>
<p>No

<p>No, that is incorrect.</p>
<p>If it says it on the website, it’s true. You can apply for waivers if you need them.</p>
<p>Not going to dispute “friends” advice…but if you do all your college steps based on this friends advice, I’d be concerned.</p>
<p>yeah, i’d be concerned too, but that’s not the case</p>
<p>If you request your SAT scores be sent right away, when you take your SAT test (before you know what the scores are), the scores are sent for free. To 4 schools, I thought, but maybe it is 6… I would guess this is what your friend was thinking of.</p>
<p>I’m guessing your friend means the first 6 schools you send your transcript to. At least at my school, that is the case.</p>
