Just found my Duke hidden fee waiver. So happy!! I really didn't not want to pay that $70.

Also got USC in the mail. Don't know if I'm applying yet since I already applied to UCLA and will most likely get in.

You want Fall 2010 - Summer/Fall JD & Dual Deg

They use the same app if you are applying for just a JD or a JD and another degree but they use a separate app for JD and MBA

I have fee waivers from UM, UVA, and BU. A couple others from places I've never heard of.

Northwestern responded to my request to refresh last year's waiver and they were like, "a-ok"

I got one from Alabama saying that if I apply they'll waive the fee and give me $20 worth of itune download. So I applied

[GeePee]

I wish I could trade off all of these fee waivers from 18-30 range schools for better ones...

Just got the University of Washington via Email

[HWS08]

I got Washington and Lee by e-mail on 9/27/09. I haven't indicated in any way that I want to go there, and I just took the LSAT the day before, so I'm not sure what their reasoning behind sending it is.

Those of you who have succesfully requested a fee waiver, did you give the school some reason or just ask with no explanation? Is e-mail or a phone call generally more effective?

They don't charge app fees to anybody but wanted you to feel special.

Give them your numbers via email.

[citydweller09]

Got UMichigan today via snail mail, complete with lovely handwritten note at the bottom!

I discovered the waiver Friday via LSAC, but getting the official mailing was a nice treat.

[ClemCarter]

OSU viewbook and fee waiver in the old-timey mail today.

OSU viewbook and fee waiver in the old-timey mail today.

Oh, by stagecoach? Pony express?

[kinch]

Dumb noob question, but how do these merit waivers work? I email a school that I have good numbers at, and if I get a waiver, how does that waiver get used when using LSAC to submit the app?
