Re: How long should I wait to apply?
The general response is that earlier is better, when the classes are not full and they have plenty of scholarship money to throw around. You're above medians at I think every school on that list, so from a purely numbers perspective your personal statement wouldn't need to blow anybody away, but obviously you should be aiming for better than "meh." You put in the time to improve 8 points on your lsat (kudos, btw); it will take dramatically less effort to improve your PS from "meh" to good, or at least passable, which can only help your chances generally. There's a thread here devoted to Personal Statement advice--avail yourself of those resources ASAP and send in your app.
As for fee waivers, you can request them directly from schools. Every school should have a fairly obvious link from their admissions page, or send them an email.
Best of luck!
