I read some messages on this board from people who claim to have received unrequested fee waivers over the past week (since taking the 10/9 lsat) and were wondering if the schools have already received the scores. Schools could not have received the scores yet, right?
I would think they get them when we do.
Any concrete thoughts?

Schools have not received the scores yet. They will not receive the scores until you do.

Yes. I keep getting borderline stalking emails from schools I have almost zero interest in applying to (Phoenix? Tulsa? WTF?) and I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with my credentials.

Tulsa is the stalker hanging from a tree at 2am, watching you sleep.

To answer your question: from my experience schools that give pre-LSAT fee waivers are the ones who are, well, desperate.

Schools haven't seen scores yet.

Thank God for e-mail. Otherwise, Tulsa would have decimated all the rainforests on the planet by now.

I love how Phoenix puts on their e-mails: "We are not associated with the Online college". Im sure Phoenix Online puts on their emails, "We are not associated with Phoenix Law"

I don't get it... why would you register for the Candidate Referral Service on LSAC? I don't need Cooley and Tulsa filling my inbox with email I won't read anyway...

Because all of the t14 schools use CRS almost exclusively to give fee waivers. I'm pretty sure the spam from Cooley is worth the $500+ you could save by registering and getting sought after waivers.

Did not know that... I have the LSAC fee waiver so the schools I'm applying to automatically waive my fee.

You are probably good to not register with CRS then :P
Or you could make an email account and use it just for CRS stuff if you want to see if any schools that don't respect LSAC's waiver give you one.
