Just apply to all of them, it can't hurt, the more you apply to the more choice's you'll have.

I've never heard of a fee to apply, that's weird. All the Colleges and private schools around here just require you to apply without any fee.

I would say find 2 colleges you really want to apply for, pay the fee and if you don't get in choose 2 others. That's kind of annoying with the fee's, tuition is expensive as it is.

Nope, I saw that with your posts though. I would call your colleges and ask them to waive the fee for you, it can't hurt.

That's complete crap, because it limits the options available for a lot of kids, I myself want to apply to many colleges,and choose the best one. Not be limited to like 3.
IT DOES IT EVERY TIME LOL

Call and email each of the schools, I'm sure it won't be the same person who answers your call and email. Also try to get the head of the school's email, and send them a convincing email to waive the fee for you.
