fee waivers
Should I contact schools now to ask for merit based fee waivers, or should I wait until late July/early August?

Re: fee waivers
Yes. I have a LSAT score and a LSDAS GPA up to my junior year (I'm still in UG). I don't know if now is the right time to ask for merit fee waivers because applications for next cycle aren't up yet.

Re: fee waivers
Yep, they're not going to waive fees until they actually have applications. I'd sit tight until you actually want to file your apps - most schools will automatically issue waivers for high scores, and then you can make requests as needed.anstone1988 wrote:Yes.

Re: fee waivers
So schools are going to send out a wave of merit waivers before the cycle starts (late July/August) for applicants who took the LSAT before June of this year for the next cycle?ahduth wrote:Yep, they're not going to waive fees until they actually have applications.

Generally speaking, you'll probably get picked up in the database dump they do after June LSATs are released? Presumably someone will start a similar thread to the above for 2012 applications, and you'll see when fee waivers actually start going out.
