For those of us who are financially challenged, is there any possible way to get the application fee waived from the schools. I know that Dental school is very expensive, and it may be a big warning sighn if you cannot even pay the applcation fees, but for some people who will apply to 10 or more schools, the nominal $60 fees add up real quick. I am sure they will wonder how you plan to pay for Dental schools, if you can't adequately cover the application process.
I know that LSAT and law schools have fee waivers, does anyone know anything about it for Dental school?

the aadsas has a form you can complete after you are done and have already paid for your applications i think. its listed on the adea website you'll see it when the new appliaction cycle begins i am not sure how it works but its a 3 page application and they refund you if you qualify. but then you have to pay your secondary application fees since those cannot be waived. good luck try to pick the schools that you think you have the best chance of being accepted don't waste money on state schools unless your application is phenomenal. ( apply to your state school though) good luck!

AADSAS has a fee reimbrusement program. You should apply early since their fund is limited. You won't get all the money back. I got ~$300 back out of about $1000, but it's still nice to get something back.
