I'm a retaker, will schools include me in the round of fee waivers after the September test?

I'm asking because I've already gotten a couple of waivers from TTTs for this cycle based on my score from last year. I'm worried T14s are only seeing this score and won't know about my new score :(

They do CRS waivers after like every score release, so yes. Just make sure you have the correct app cycle listed.

Got waivers from Vanderbilt (email), Cornell (email), Michigan (hidden), Texas (email), and Duke (email). I also got priority track for Duke, which I was not expecting. Anyone else get this?

Yeah I got the duke track too, as well as Texas and bunch more today.

No idea why they all hit today (June taker)

June taker (170, 4.03).

So far I have:
San Diego
Georgetown
Oregon
UCLA
Creighton
Lewis & Clark
Richmond
Virginia
Michigan
Seton
Miami
Minnesota
Seattle
Wisconsin
Idaho
Tulsa
Santa Clara
Cornell
Vanderbilt
South Texas
Texas
Northeastern

There are about 10 others whom I emailed who either said I "should qualify" when they do a CRS search, or who said email again when the application is open and we will attach a waiver to your account.

I didn't get Duke yet... which I would like. Also, does anyone have Chicago or know when they might put out some CRS waivers? I emailed them, they just sent back a link to their website.

AFAIK one person I saw somewhere on TLS solicited Chicago successfully (unsure if need or merit based) but I don't think any unsolicited waivers have gone out yet.

UVA was solicited. I tried with Chicago and they didn't seem too interested.

I received Texas yesterday, no LSAT yet though. I guess that explains why it's the only one...

Anyone yet try to solicit Columba or NYU?

I've been getting rejected on all my solicitation attempts so I'm a little gun-shy. :(

I just sent them emails today, along with Penn. Apparently people successfully solicited last year according to the fee waiver thread.


Oh also, got UVA solicited. They were very prompt.

semi-hidden fee waiver at Duke:

I asked for it, they never responded. When I checked my application, though, my fee was waived.

I sent out fee waivers over the weekend. VA already responded and it sings the same tune as the other posters. Chicago and Cornell did not seem too interested. I'll update when I get more responses.

Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.

I'm URM so can't give an answer, but I'm curious in the idea of schools giving out solicited waivers to scores on the lower end of their numbers in order to up their selectivity. Is this a thing?

Solicited Penn. They said that waivers would be granted through CRS. So im 0 for 1.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
Just kidding ... it's still FREE!
