Straight off the website:
"All institutions attended (including foreign institutions) must be listed on the Application Form. If there are extenuating circumstances inhibiting this evaluation, you may request a waiver of the requirement of this evaluation. The letter must state the reason why you are requesting a waiver of the evaluation and must include your signature and SSN. Be sure the reason is extenuating. Also note that transfer credit awarded at U.S. institutions for foreign courses will not be added to your applicant profile. Failure to submit a foreign evaluation or letter requesting a waiver (which is duplicated to your schools) will result in your file being incomplete. Questions should be directed to AACOMAS."
I asked what are the odds that I'd get the waiver, and they said they're not sure. But I am planning on including a copy of my unofficial transcript, along with the conversion thing that my program sent, which is a rough estimate of US equivalency. Personally, I think it's a stupid thing, someone would be incomplete because of 4 or 5 credits that don't count for anything. Maybe somebody who has requested a waiver might have a better idea of what they mean by extenuating circumstances, and how often people are granted the waiver. I'm not sure if it's up to the school to decide if they accept the waiver, or not though. But if it's easy for you to get your transcript, I'd just shell out the money, that way you won't have to worry if your waiver gets accepted or not.
