Paul Thiboutot, vice president and dean of admissions and financial aid, is quoted in an April 2 edition of a "Marketplace" segment on colleges and universities collecting application fees and how Carleton goes against this trend. Thiboutot tells "Marketplace" reporter Amy Scott that Carleton doesn't see a large bump in revenue from fees despite a 20 percent increase in applications in 2013. “We, in fact, waive an application fee for anyone who submits their application online, and that’s how all of our applications are coming in,” he says. Scott figures that Harvard likely gathered nearly $2 million in application fees, while Vassar College took in nearly $380,000 in fees.
