I just got an email waiver from Regent. Score!

But only on the condition that I "feel that law is more than just a profession, but may be [my] calling". Damn...do they have a way of verifying how selfless my lawyerly ambitions are, or is this one of those 'honor code' things?

Where is my Columbia waiver? Anyone with similar stats get/not get one? Are we thinking there are more coming?
(somewhat) similar stats... 3.98/175. But PoorOrpheus got one with stats closer to yours, and others have not. Columbia says they only grant fee waivers based on the LSAT... but that's starting to look like a big fat lie.

UCLA told me straight up that I do not qualify for a merit-based fee waiver (jerks), GW told me they don't give those out, and USC directed me to their need-based fee waiver application. Oh well, got fee waivers from Emory, W&M, and WUSTL (two days before they emailed me one through CRS...wasted effort).

Anyone have any luck getting solicited fee waivers from UCLA, GW, or USC?

I think it's based mostly on the self-reported GPA in info you give to the CRS section on the LSAC website. I took the LSAT last year, long before I was going to apply or send in transcripts, and I got a full wave of fee waivers congratulating me on my LSAT/GPA.

P.S. Regent has a beach? Will they waive the cost of my boogie board and sand bucket?

Lol, I got a waiver from 4 schools ranked higher than Vandy and a whole bunch from close, but lower ranked schools. I think Vandy hates me just as much as I hate them.

They did invite me to interview on campus at my undergrad that I graduated 2 years from.

I received one from UCLA yesterday. GW told me the same. And USC sent me an email saying they'd be sending them out tomorrow.

Yeah I think Vandy hates me as well. I got waivers from a bunch of schools that are ranked higher. That being said, Emory must hate me as well.

I kinda feel bad sometimes bashing Regent and all these other T3- law schools. I mean, we all kind of treat it like a joke, right? But they actually think they're doing us a favor. Obviously someone goes to these law schools, but why would they send out emails to people with 160+ 3.0+ stats?

Alright, done feeling bad now. Regent just congratulated me on earning their fee waiver. STFU Regent, you're not doing me any favors...just cluttering my inbox.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
