Hello all,

As the Regular Decision deadlines are now only a couple days away for most of the Ivies and other upper echelon schools, I am faced with the disheartening fact that my parents are not willing to pay for my application fees, which I cannot cover myself having been unemployed my entire life. My family did not qualify for a blanket fee waiver, and I have tried calling admissions offices to ask for a fee waiver only to find that all are closed for winter break. I understand that this is rather late to be worrying about this; unfortunately, I did not realize my parents’ decision until winter break began. For reasons irrelevant to this post, applying to as many Ivies as I can is crucial for me. At this point, is it still possible to get any application fee waivers?

Thanks,
