None of the schools I'm applying to do waivers. But I counted the business days on a calendar and realized it was just under a week, plus holidays since I'd deposited the money (in a town I usually don't bank in, but was just there for the holidays). So hopefully I can do it on Monday.
Random question I didn't see in the forums but maybe didn't look hard enough: What do you do when the school doesn't want an artist statement, just a statement of purpose? Should I combine my artist statement that I've been labouring over with the statement of purpose in some way?
