Smaller schools with great merit

Two ways to go:

  1. Get on any college that interest you email list - and many will send you app waivers - we had W&L, Pitt, Tampa and others. 6 of 21. Other schools like Chicago (if you fill out FAFSA) and WUSTL will send you waivers - just to boost their #s.

  2. I can’t put the link here because the CC doesn’t allow but google no application fee + niche and you’ll get the entire list of free to apply schools. In theory, some may require you to send the SAT/ACT but most today are self reporting (or TO) so if you choose to apply, you can simply self report your score.

The best is if they have no additional essays - and you’ve not used all 20 common app slots…if there’s any schools that might seem a fit, throw in an app. It costs you nothing, it takes 5 minutes, and you never know what kind of offer you might get. At these schools, I would sit in on a virtual info session and even email a question to the admission counselor…just to show interest.

Good luck.
