Hello everyone,
I recently came across some advice regarding application fee waivers. It suggests that if an applicant submits their application under the financial hardship fee waiver, there might be a higher likelihood of rejection, especially from schools like Tuck, Wharton, NYU and Stanford.
I’m curious to know your thoughts on this matter. Have any of you experienced or heard about such situations? Any insights would be appreciated.
Thank you.

They don’t look at it as much. More like a tie breaker if anything

You’re not wrong to assume that. Doesn’t automatically dismiss you so long as you’re meeting their admissions criteria. I think - and this is an assumption- they’ll most likely think that you’re about to get a $200k degree and you’re shying away from $250.
But there’s no case I’ve seen but again, I never observed it, so I know how they think, so you could be right in assuming this. Basically they eliminate all red flags. This seems to affect their acceptance rate Because those that can’t afford it usually end up declining admissions offer. So, definitely a Yellow flag for them and the higher you go in ranking (as in , in top 10s) these small things kinda affect their rankings so their risk mitigation will be as delicate.
