Fee waivers at Columbia, WM, and Cornell

Cornell offers me fee waiver, then online app asks for credit card number. Boo to Cornell's IS department!

Deadline was waved at Cornell, dates may not be representative for other people.

Update 1/31 -- They told me I had to pay the fee, then send them the CRS letter and they would refund it. Otherwise, I could apply on paper and not pay it. Backwards, anybody?

Update 2/09 -- Decision on the way from UVa. Don't know what it is yet.

Update 2/15 -- finally got the decision from UVa. As others have reported, it comes in a #10 envelope so it's indistinguishable from a ding until opened.

Update 3/07 -- Into the JD/MLLP Program at Cornell, Held at Chicago

WL at Chicago, withdrew my app

$10k Scholarship at Cornell after applying Virginia "leverage."

Please note, when referring to financial aid, "leverage" must be pronounced just as it was in "Pirates of the Caribbean." LEE-vrage.
