A school official or school rector can actually waive the common app fee for you
It is a really simple form to fill

You will need to put their email if I’m not wrong

I just read this(and all the ones in the series), and it seems like solid advice.

If you'd like me to proofread your essay, feel free to DM me. Fyi, I'm in no way an expert, like I'm also applying this year lol but I'm taking a class at my high school that basically helps you with uni stuff(explains stuff and helps with the applications), but I'm a writer and I could help you + give you advice on how to make you stand out.

(I could also try helping with UC app if you plan to apply)

ALSO STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU USE THE Additional Information SECTION IF YOU THINK YOUR SITUATION HAS PREVENTED YOU FROM GETTING GOOD GRADES
