clehman13 Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Hey all! After I took the GRE this past November, I got an email from RPI saying that they would waive my application fee if I applied. I was curious if this was a widespread thing that they are doing to get more applications. I got hopeful that they were looking to take me on, but I know that other schools will waive the fees just to get a larger applicant pool.
Hope and Dreams Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 How much contact have you had with their department/the professors there? Was the waiver given directly by the department or the graduate school there? I can't say for sure, but I think the department would handle it more directly if they were specifically interested in you.
clehman13 Posted January 24, 2019 Author Posted January 24, 2019 Hey Hope and Dreams, I had no contact with the department. That's why it threw me off. It looks like it was directly from the Graduate School. I did, however, score rather high on the GRE and they did mention that's where they got my information from. It could also just be a thing that they do for anyone who took the GRE and did alright. I'm not entirely sure and was curious if other people had similar experiences.
