Just checked today and found a hidden "individual applicant waiver" from Cornell. Last time I checked (about two weeks ago) there was no waiver.

They are just subtly hinting that you should retake

I tried to solicit a waiver a few weeks back and got the standard CRS response.

Today, I get the "we found your name through CRS and encourage you to apply", but no waiver.

Is Cornell just stingy or what?
Did you check the bottom of the email? I've heard that they put waiver information at the end of the message.

Nothing at the bottom. Read the stuff about a hidden fee waiver later in the thread and didn't get a hidden one either. Guess I'm out of luck.

Minnesota emailed today to remind me that they really want me to use their fee waiver. No thanks, Minnesota.

Is there ANY way to get a fee waiver from HYS and Berkeley? I emailed them and they gave me the link for their need-based waiver forms

That's the way!

Also if you're military or participated in TFA I think Berkeley will give you one.

Is anybody else still waiting for a fee waiver from Cornell? or if it has not happened yet, it is not going to happen. Should I just pay the fee and apply. LSAT at 25%, GPA above 75%?

Thank you GreenTee,

I tried soliciting 2 weeks ago, and received a standard reply that they would consider me. It is my last application, and I really would like to submit, but it is extra $80.

I'd submit if I were you.

I'm in-state...and an alumni.. and I haven't gotten shit

, though I haven't gotten my first LSAT score back, that may be part of the reason

Email the admin office. My email was something simple and the to effect of:

'To whom it may concern,

My name is First Last and, as a potential class of 2018 applicant, I am writing to request a merit-based application fee waiver. Would you be able to review my file and asses my eligibility?

Thank your your time and please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns!

Best,
First Last
