You probably already know this, but you can email Michigan for a waiver. You probably have hidden NYU. You won't get HYS or Boalt.

Is anyone else getting borderline harassed by Michigan State- I've received 4+ emails and at least the same number of letters/postcards in the mail.

So I've gotten a bunch of fee waivers, but no mail from anywhere ever. Is this a problem? Some of them TOLD me in the email a viewbook or whatever is coming, but haven't received it.....I think this might be because I have a PO box?

I've had two phone calls from them since Monday about the "$100,000" scholarship. It is a little much.

Does George Washington give fee waivers? solicited/unsolicited

Seems like GWU sent out some unsolicited fee waivers the other week.

I solicited one from GW last week. I've heard they're not very honest about it, though. Other TLSers have tried and been told that GW doesn't give merit-based waivers. They gave me a code to input FWIW.

Did you send an email? If so, what did you say?

I just used the standard fee waiver email template from TLS. If you search for 'fee waiver email' then I'm sure it'll come up. Honestly, unless you sound like a total douchebag in the email, I think what you say is way less important than whether your numbers compel the school to grant you a waiver. That's all it's based on. Anyway, my email to GW said the following:

Hello,

I am really interested in applying to George Washington Law School, and am writing to ask if I could be considered for a merit-based fee waiver. I am an AA male, my GPA is X, my LSAT is Y.

Please let me know if this is possible.

Thanks,
amc987

What was the email address you sent the fee waiver request to?

YES. Last year I felt like I was being stalked by MSU but this year seems even worse.

Loyola waiver today.

Notre Dame hidden fee waiver today. Unsolicited.

Has anyone had luck soliciting a waiver out of NYU, Chicago, or Cornell?

Still nothing from any of them but I don't want to look like an idiot emailing.

[email protected]. I think that's just the general admissions email on their website.

gw is kind of sketchy with their fee waivers.

Kess · Post by **Kess** » Tue Oct 04, 2011 2:05 pm

So far I solicited fee waivers from Buffalo and Pace. I got these only with my GPA, I just took the LSAT on Saturday, so no score for me yet.

My top schools are 1) Fordham or 2) Cardozo. Would it be wise to ask for a fee waiver? If so, is it better to wait until get my score?

Thanks.

Not sure about Cardoza, but I asked for a waiver from Fordham (and my LSAT is way above their 75th) and they told me they didn't give out merit-based waivers.

This.

Also, Quinnipiac is starting to get annoying.
