Secondary Application Fee Question

[mike27bk]

Well FAP rules have changed this year and it seems regardless if you filed independently and live on your own your parent's finances are taken into account, regardless if they are assisting you with fees or not. Despite the fact that I did not qualify for FAP, I was wondering if schools would take an email request to waive the secondary fee?

Anyone have anything to weigh in on this?
when would I send such letter? I don't want the process to hinder the date my application becomes complete.

You can try. Many schools will not waive the fee unless you qualify for FAP however.

That rule was in place since at least last year and seems like it's been around for a while. I'm fairly confident no one will waive the secondary fee without FAP.
