Hey friends, out of curiosity and a little bit of forward planning, what is the most expensive college application fee known in the U.S.? Just trying to understand what I should expect while applying.
The most expensive application fee among U.S. colleges and universities is held by Stanford University, which costs $90. However, keep in mind that many schools have fee waivers available if the application fee presents a financial hardship, and it's always a good idea to look into these opportunities. The Common Application and Coalition Application, for instance, both have processes for requesting fee waivers directly within the application, benefiting qualifying students by reducing or eliminating application expenses.
