[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what is your background? What are your credentials?

Because these schools give our fee waivers like candy. They don't rely on application fees to stay afloat. That's a tiny part of their budgets. They probably spend more on postage. [/quote]

You seem to struggle with reading comprehension. OP said they were afraid of losing application "numbers" not application fees. Those are two different things.

It's obvious that OP is making a point that colleges are trying to increase their "application numbers" because that makes them look more selective. A larger denominator (# of apps) equals a lower admission percentage which most conflate with more prestige. They're trying to game their admission percentage by encouraging more unqualified admissions from kids who think they have a chance with inflated GPAs and no standardized tests. They don't care about application fees. So fee waivers aren't really relevant to OPs point.[/quote]

I think the PP probably was referring to the thread title which mentions application revenue.  The OP used application numbers.
