1. Hi Inform,

   Thanks for bringing this information to us.
   So, I would like to ask. After clicking on the preferred course I would like to get an application waiver on, I saw a list of persons whom I can send emails to, which of them am I to choose, then secondly, what are the details that are required of me to send to them?
   Looking forward to your response. Thanks.
