CMU was free with an email from them, Duke was 50 if you went to their event (free if you had a fuqua alum recommend you or are a Duke student/alum).


I didnt realize alums got the application fee waived--I am torn on wanting to move back to NC though.

I didn't realize that either! I don't think I'll end up applying to Duke though, I keep hearing folks say reach out for a different network. Durham has changed a fair amount (for the better) since my days...

Vanderbilt put up their MBA app too late, so for the first two rounds they are also waiving their $125 fee. I'm stoked.

UC Irvine also waived my fee when I signed up for it at the QS World MBA Tour booth. Pretty awesome.

Heres a list of b-schools - all based on GMAT score. You need to write to the school
1. Kenan-Flagler
2. Vanderbilt
3. Olin (free irrespective of score)
4. Carlson
5. Simon
6. Mendoza
7. Broad - free if you attend oncampus events/ webinars.

My view is dont pick a college because the application is free, but if you like a college, do check if you can save ~100$ on an app. Buy yourself some beer with the saved cash once you submit!

Duke Fuqua waives the app fee if you attend their info session.

Stern has a lucky draw at each of their info sessions, where 3 lucky candidates have their app fees waived off.

Yale SOM has a sliding fee scale based on your annual income.

Hello. I know that the London School of Economic and Political Science is waiving the application fee. They say, that only if you cannot pay the application fee you can ask for a waiver to be considered by the department. If you write a waiver statement you can get a free waiver but they are only for applicants with poor incomes, usually from developing countries. Anyway, I hope my comment was useful, good luck!
