<p>what if I apply ed and request for a fee waiver and they don’t accept it but the deadline has passed(when they tell me my waiver isn’t good)? can I still send them the money?</p>
<p>Why are you applying ED if $ is such a big issue for you? Even if you’re applying ED to a school like Princeton that has marvelous financial aid, you’d probably still be better off applying without ED so that you could compare financial aid offers. Depending on where you apply, if you’re a strong student, you could get merit aid offers that not only pay for everything but also give you a laptop, sponsored foreign travel and other perks.</p>
<p>If you’re very low income and are a strong student who’s Ivy material, you don’t need the ED advantage. Being a strong student who’s very low income is already a big tip factor for admission to the top colleges, which are trying to increase their economic diversity.</p>
<p>As for your question, ask the college admissions officers. We anonymous strangers can’t give you an accurate answer.</p>
<p>ok…thanks.</p>
