Any disadvantage using a fee waiver?

Just out of curiosity, are there any disadvantages if I ask for a fee waiver?

Former admissions officer here. There is no harm in politely asking for a fee waiver unless the school has an official policy of not offering fee waivers or only offering fee waivers under certain conditions. Check their websites! Otherwise, schools often use fee waivers to encourage prospective candidates to apply. Good luck!
