[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i realize this is an old thread, but wanted to mention fee waivers -- especially common app fee waivers, not separate institutional codes -- as a way to distinguish low income students from the pool of middle class applicants who apply for financial aid. Seems like a relatively-straightforward way to shape an incoming class with both institutional priorities (e.g. enrolling Pell-eligible students) and budget in mind. [/quote] Most IECs tell full pay students to NEVER check fee waiver or apply to special scholarships that require extra stuff.....its a way to show you are merit hunting and will hurt the application process.[/quote] Another way to look at the willingness of a kid to write extra scholarship essays is that the kid cares enough about the school to spend the time and effort crafting those essays -- a form of demonstrated interest.[/quote]
