jeremysen you're an idiot. Fee waivers don't mean shit. First off UVA sends them to practically anyone. I got one and was flat out rejected. I also got one from Columbia and UCLA. Tell me the last time they let a non-URM in with a 3.2x GPA.

Mike you are a dumbass both because you lack a sense for statistics and because you have a 3.2. UVA is an exception to the rule in OP's shortlist.

The last time they let in a non-URM with a 3.2 GPA was with my friend who was 3.1/178. Schooled you fool.

facepalm your ability to estimate the likelihood that a MERIT BASED fee waiver candidate has a higher standing than regular candidates.

No one is saying that getting a fee waiver gives you an advantage. Is it a good sign? Duh.

Idiot.

A lot of schools provide Merit based on your LSAT score along. I would think that a 170/3.9 has a much better chance at admission to any school than a 172/2.5 even if the 170 didn't get a fee waiver. Dumbass

I was gonna say this but was not a 100%. Thanks.

And with that the argument is over.

[jeremysen]

even if the 170 didn't get a fee waiver. Dumbass

Would a 170/3.9 in early cycle not receive a fee waiver? No. Idiot. I was comparing those who Do and those who Don't fool.

Yeah, if some guy makes shit up, you just jump right on the bandwagon.

Do you think they'd just throw $ away to those who don't even have a chance?

lol at app fees being about schools making money. app fees are purely an artificial barrier to ensure that not everyone on the planet applies to every school and so that adcoms don't have to go through literally 50,000 applications each cycle. hls would only need to admit 3 more students to gain in tuition dollars what they give up by waiving the app fee for all 6,000 people that applied there last year.

and yes it is in the school's interests to ensure they get a sufficient # of apps in order to maintain their percent admit and yield even if it means they give fee waivers to people without caring whether they actually have a chance at admission.

In no way did I say that schools don't want to protect admit %.

as dumb as a 3.2?

I was tempted to respond to that comment before but just couldn't. So happy you took the initiative lol

Ragged, go post your pictures at Duke. Oh wait....

LOL, at the end of the day, you will sit in your lonely chair wondering why you didn't get into UVA.

Why didn't you get into UVA?

Because you have a 3.2, and you are an idiot.

Or because I didn't ED lol.

[jeremysen]

non-idiots don't have to ED. I can't believe you just tried to justify yourself with an ED argument. lol

165 maybe not, but Columbia gave a fee waiver to a 170/3.4

This is so much better than writing my paper...(Fuck I only need a B to keep my GPA)...I love your use of the word "non-idiot" you sound so intelligent.

Now step back for a second and think to yourself, "Doesn't my using 170/3.4 as an example lend support to his argument?"

No it doesn't. No way non-URM 170/3.4 gets accepted. Or lets say that its so improbable that its pretty much impossible and not even worth the 12$.

Mike's UVA experience satisfies your argument. But nonetheless, 170/3.4 would get a fee waiver over a 165. To that end, merit based fee waivers indicate that the 170/3.4 has a higher chance of admittance than the 165.
