Did anyone get an unsolicited waiver from Texas that didn't live in Texas?

GULC here as well just a minute ago.

No love from GULC....why are they tormenting me

No love for me either.

Question to those who got fee wavers: have you started a GULU application???

Do schools send out all waivers at the same time?

Awww... I want a Texas waiver. I solicited them for a need based waiver and this was their reply: "For consideration for need-based application fee waiver, you must demonstrate financial need, present a competitive academic record, the Law School must have a clear interest in admitting the student, and the limit on fee waivers has not been reached."

Their need-based waiver is not a joke. They want it notarized, the want a statement of why you need it, and they want to know a monthly budget of all your expenses. I'm surprised they didn't ask for a blood sample.

When was the last time someone got one from Northwestern and Columbia?

They gave me one when I went to a Law School Fair at my UG.

Same, and UW, although I might be late on that I am a Dec. taker

Thought NYU would hit people up today, but I guess nothing so far. App is all ready to go, but 85 bucks?!

Should I wait to submit in hopes of a waiver or say byebye to 85 dollars?

For what it's worth, NYU replied to my solicitation request and noted that they would refund money to anyone who happens to get a waiver after the fact.

Oh when was that? I emailed them Friday to: law.moreinfo@nyu.edu and I never got any acknowledgment.

I emailed them Thursday.

"If a candidate is invited to apply after already submitting an application, the fee will be refunded."

I guess I will wait until tomorrow, but if I don't even get an acknowledgement of my email I think I'll call. Anyone think this is a bad idea?

I've gotten UW, Emory, Pitt, Richmond, and some other TTT.

Northwestern had a button you could click to request a fee wavier on their website, although I think that ended some time in november. It granted all requests as far as I could tell. I have no idea if they sent any out through CRS.

I got columbia after october scores came out.
