Should I take this as a good sign? It was from Washington University in St.Louis. WUSL wasn't one of the 5 schools that I sent my GMAT score to, but they contacted me because of that waiver at the end of the test. Is the waiver a big deal, or do some schools do that for everyone?

Dear specialk1975 & hsumh316:

Application fee waivers are generally issued to a target group of applicants by a school. The school might be targeting high GMAT scores, women, under-represeented minorities, and/or folks with specific undergraduate degrees. You should view application fee waivers as a compliment as this means the school is interested in receiving your application.

Congratulations on your waiver and good luck on your applications!

Thanks, I was surprised to get this from a good school. This school was not even on my list, but I did some research and I like what I saw, so I applied.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
