Fee Assistance Program (FAP)

[arbi_m5]

I have received FAP which will allow me to apply to 15 schools for free.

My question is will only the first 15 school waive the secondary fee or will they all.

Basically if I apply to 30 schools that all waive the secondary app fee. I will apply to the first 15 for free and the other 15 i will pay 35 for each school for the primary app. Now will all the secondary apps fee be waived or only the 15 of them?

Here's a thread from last year, when someone had the same question: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/thr...econdaries-when-exceeding-15-schools.1076680/
Basically, covering 15 schools only applies to the primary fee. For secondaries, it is up to the individual schools, and they will likely waive the fee.

pretty much every school will waive the secondary fee. no limit to how many secondary fees you can waive.

There might be a couple of schools that will reduce the fee instead of eliminate it altogether. For example, Baylor's website says that their normal secondary fee is $100 and for FAP recipients it's $50: https://www.bcm.edu/education/schools/medical-school/admissions/supplemental-application

I was on FAP for three years. Most waive the fee, I had one school reduce it to half. Had another friend apply to like 40 schools and he didn't pay any secondary fee.
