I know that Michigan and Georgetown have issued fee waivers, but I haven't received one. I checked to see if I received a hidden waiver but unfortunately I did not. With a 172 and 3.75+, I suspect that my numbers fall within their requirements for a fee waiver. Are their standards for fee waivers higher than my numbers? If not, how can I possible get a waiver from those schools without mentioning financial hardship? My parent's income is way too high to request a waiver due to financial hardship, but I have to pay for my applications with my own money. I'm hoping that it was a mistake that I was not issued a waiver.
Others may have the same problem as me, so any suggestions or feedback would be great.
Ever okay to request a waiver solely based on high numbers? Forum

Absolutely. Just email them that you are really interested in their school but want to cut down application costs and ask for a fee waiver, attach your lsac id as well. I did this and got half the t-13 to send them over, and my gpa is terrible!

They're not going to audit your parents bro. Email them and let them know you're having a tough timejdapplicant wrote:I know that Michigan and Georgetown have issued fee waivers, but I haven't received one.

Yes. Just explain in your email what you told us. You will get some fee waivers.

+1. I had the same experience. I didn't even state my GPA, just my LSAT.Clearly wrote:Absolutely.
