Are there any colleges with free admission?

Hi everyone, I've heard about a few colleges that have free admission, but I'm not sure if that's just a myth or reality. Do any of you know any colleges that don't charge an application fee? It would be really helpful for budgeting purposes. Thanks!

Hi there! Yes, there are indeed colleges that don't charge an application fee. Some schools waive the fee for all applicants, while others offer fee waivers for students who demonstrate financial need. Here are a few examples of colleges that don't charge an application fee for all applicants:

1. Reed College

2. Wellesley College

3. Grinnell College

4. Smith College

5. Carleton College

In addition to these schools, there are many more colleges and universities across the country that have no application fee. Keep in mind that some schools may require you to complete the application online in order to have the fee waived.

Furthermore, if you're applying to colleges that do charge an application fee but you're concerned about the cost, you can consider requesting a fee waiver. Many schools offer fee waivers to students who demonstrate financial need, and you can typically request one through the Common Application or the college's own application system. You may also qualify for a fee waiver if you've received an SAT or ACT fee waiver.

In short, there are options for applying to colleges without paying an application fee, either by applying to schools that don't charge one or by requesting a fee waiver if you're eligible. Good luck with your applications!
