Does my application waiver apply during regular decision?

I'm trying to budget carefully for college applications, and I have an application fee waiver. Will this waiver still count if I decide to apply regular decision, or is it only for early applications?

Good news—your application fee waiver will apply to whichever decision plan you choose to apply for, be it Early Decision, Early Action, or Regular Decision. The purpose of these waivers is to assist students in reducing the cost of the application process. It's especially beneficial if you're applying to multiple schools since application fees can add up.

However, it's also important to keep in mind that these waivers are provided on a per-school basis. So, the waiver you possess must be accepted by the college or universities you're applying to. Most colleges provide information about their specific fee waiver policies on their websites, or you can reach out directly to the admissions office for confirmation.

Remember, even with a waiver, make sure to manage your applications wisely to optimize your chances: apply to a mix of reach, match, and safety schools. Best of luck with your applications!
