Hey guys,

I live in a country that has its currency sliding against the dollar everyday. Can you recommend some top 50 MBA programs that can waive application fees and how i can access it? Thanks!

Hi SenanuA:
Sorry about your quandary.

1) Most of the schools are happy to waive off your Application Fee if you attend their events/ write to and/or engage with the AdCom
2) That said, part of good management is learning the importance to prioritise well. If focusing on saving about 2-3K USD takes much of your time, and you are not able to focus on saving about 60-150K on your Scholarships, because you were too distracted with smaller things, I won't call it a good managerial approach.

Happy to help.

Glad you’re happy to help. The problem however is not an inability to save. It’s a depreciating currency that has fallen 43% against the USD since January. And is now the worlds 2nd worst performing currency. It means anything I had saved up is now worth almost half its prior value in USD. My salary which was worth about $1200 this time last year is now worth $574.
I therefore welcome any and all help.

Attend GMAT Club sponsored AdCom Zoom meetings conducted regularly. Chances to win the Fees waiver vouchers there.

SenanuA:

The first post is right. You should email and/or call the admissions offices of the programs you are interested in and explain exactly this issue. I am confident most, if not all, will be open to waiving the application fee.

Keep in mind, the cost of attending the program will also be impacted by currency exchange, and that is way more significant than the application fees. It is commonly a topic that is covered the financial aid sessions held by the schools during welcome student weeks. You should inquire about those as well while you are asking for your waiver just to show your seriousness in the problem you are facing.

Good luck,
Admissionado
