Is fee waiver worth it?

HI everyone,
I wonder if anyone here has gone through the fee waiver process? I am qualified for a fee waiver, and already e-submitted my application to one school (because it is obligated that I only apply to 1 school initially, then have to wait for the fee waiver to be processed and posted to my account before being able to designate other schools?) My question is: how long does it take for the fee waiver to be posted on my account? Can I choose credit card payment over money order when i designate other schools later? (I guess only people who have gone through this know what im talking about?!) I emailed PharmCAS and they said it would take up to FIVE weeks for the fee waiver be processed before anything can be done (GPA calculations...), which worries me a great deal! Now i wonder if a fee waiver is worth it?
Please give me some estimations or at least any comfort! I really appreciate it!

I e-submitted on Friday and my fee waiver was processed today. I was actually freaking out also and e-mailed them yesterday asking the same question as you, I also received the same response. So now I'm just waiting for them to calculate my GPA. Hopefully it's this week so they can send it out Monday.

Move on people, all fee waivers have been giving out. No more! So get some hours at work, make money and pay for the application. I know it's hard because we are all student but it's worth the sacrifice

Read the Op's question, he's not asking for a fee waiver, he just wants to know the processing time!

OK, so it took you about a week for your fee waiver to be processed! That was not bad at all, compared to FIVE weeks as the PharmCAS people told me! I feel relieved! Thanks a lot for your info. Oh, and did you designate other schools after that and paid with credit card?

I just did the one school so far because that is the only one I'm applying to on rolling admissions. I figured I would wait til they had everything figured out until I added more so as not to slow down the processes.
