Hello! It's great that you're considering additional schools to apply to. Several notable colleges and universities offer free applications. Here's a list of some good schools with no application fees to help you expand your choices:

1. Carleton College

2. Colby College

3. Grinnell College

4. Kenyon College

5. Smith College

6. Swarthmore College

7. Tulane University

8. Wellesley College

9. University of Dayton

10. Reed College

Besides these colleges, many public institutions also offer free applications, especially for in-state residents. It's worth checking with your state schools to see if they have such offerings. Additionally, if you have a fee waiver for financial reasons, you could apply to a wider range of colleges and universities without worrying about application fees. Most colleges accept fee waivers if you qualify based on financial need, so be sure to explore this option.

Lastly, there are specific programs and initiatives like the Coalition Application and Common App, which allow students to apply to numerous schools at once, helping to reduce the application fee burden. If you're eligible for a fee waiver through these platforms, this could save you a significant amount in application fees.

Good luck with your college applications!
