I remeber reading somewhere that it is possible to get your application fee waved for graduate school. What is necessary for me to do this? Do I just have to tell the dept that I can't afford the fee. A friend of mine gets financial aid, so he said he doesn't have to pay the fee. Anyone know anything I can do?

Fee waivers feel like a dime a dozen (ok that's a weird way of saying it) so you might as well just ask the graduate studies department :)
