Hey Guys - Just wanted to check if Cornell and other T15 schools offer any application fee waivers?

I am aware that Duke does give waivers. Any other schools that offer fee waivers?

PS: International student (Don't qualify for Forte / Consortium)

All of them do if you play your cards right

HBS doesn't.
I got one from Booth, Tuck, Stern, Cornell, Duke, Ross, MIT.

Wow. That's impressive you got these!!! If you don't mind me asking, how did you request them? Did you reference financial burden or just asked nicely?
Also, Tepper has been somewhat generous with their waivers during the MBA Spotlight regional events (you had to attend one of their one-on-one sessions to get it)

I requested them based on the following factors-
1. Unique real estate background
2. Network that I bring to the table
3. Current Pandemic pay cut and to support the family

Also, an appeal to their statement- "Never self select yourself out"
Turns out you can weaponise anything that diplomatic people say.

Just attend one of those "Application Ask Me Anything" webinars and you'll get an email that you need to respond to. They'll check if you were in attendance and apply it to your application.

Noted!
I like the sassy you much better. You are so much more funny, even when you're sassy to me.
I want to take an initiative in regards to this- I want to create a master negotiation document.

All I need is perspectives and fortunately, this platform just touched 2 million. So at most 2 million perspectives in my bag.

You wanna help?

Hi, I got app waiver from Cornell. I attended two of the AdCom sessions.

Tepper has a cool way of giving app waivers. They have a Chart Your Path - a guide to applications at their website. So while you educate yourself on the the tools, the life at Tepper and the curriculum you actually complete the required steps for getting a fee waiver. I felt that was pretty cool on their part.
