I got Columbia, Chicago, NYU, Penn, UVA, Duke, Michigan, NW, and GULC, plus a ton of lower ranked ones. Granted, I took the LSAT in June, so maybe that's why they found me a bit easier through CRS. Also, no idea why Cornell held out lol

Are you guys reaching out to the schools for waivers or were they hidden waivers? I'm not sure if I should be worried since I haven't received any yet. I haven't taken the LSAT yet, would that explain why?

Have you registerer with the CRS yet? That's how they find you to give you fee waivers. I got tons before I took my LSAT.

I got the entire top 20 except HYS and that was all unsolicited. It is probably all the apps I need because i probably won't apply to HYS except as a possible Hail Mary... 3.2-3.3 gpa probably wouldn't get me in.

Yeah I registered, but the only emails so far are from TTT. Did they add the hidden fee waivers without reaching out by email?

What did you put down for your GPA on the CRS?

That could be why you're only getting TTT waivers.

All of my waivers have come by email or snail mail, not sure about the hidden ones

That's how they all do it. That's why they're "hidden".

I got Columbia, Penn, Duke, Mich, Northwestern, and Cornell unsolicited and Berkeley solicited (received pell grants throughout undergrad). I havent checked them all, but I also got them from most top schools outside of the t14 like UCLA, Vandy, etc.

I received emails about all of them, except for NW which was hidden.

I wished I'd known about Columbia's fee waiver. I've reached out to almost all schools, but Columbia's website didn't seem open to fee waiver requests.
