Is there anyone else who got a 17x in Feb or June and is still waiting on Chicago and Vandy?

I got 168 in June but somehow got a Vandy fee waiver in Sept (even with low GPA) Maybe its the WE that got it for me - right now very stoked about it, since others won't exactly be pouring in...

how could you get a fee waiver for WE? doesn't CRS just provide numbers?

Doesn't the employment section under CRS Preferences get shared with schools?. Mine shows three things: years of work experience, current employment status, and former or current military service. UVA specifically referenced my veteran status last year when they gave me a unsolicited fee waiver.

UVa. I swallowed my pride to email them to ask for a waiver over the weekend, and they personally sent me one.

But then I got another regular one today -they were going to send me one anyway. Struggles.

Anybody successfully ask for a waiver from Georgetown?

Mine is broken up by "Candidate Referral Service (CRS)" and "Your CRS Preferences". I wasn't aware that the preference section got sent to the schools. Maybe I'm wrong.

That median GPA (3.85) in the UVA mail is scary. I'm exactly at median for GPA and a point below for LSAT. Gonna need to put together a good application for them I guess...

I asked. They told me no.

Somebody still seems sore about losing an argument the other day.

Anyway, bless my heart, the CRS yes does share info on WE - I got letters last year referencing it. CRS asks how many years of it you have.

I got a 176 on Sept. test (first/only take) but I haven't gotten any fee waivers. I just signed up for LSDAS yesterday. Could this be the reason? Any ideas on why I might not be getting them/ what I should do?

[ViP]

QUESTION:

Are fee waivers only provided based on LSAT scores, or can GPAs also play a role? Do they ever take the LSAT/GPA index into consideration (or is this, perhaps, always the procedure)?

I am curious whether schools ever send fee waivers to applicants with average LSAT scores but above-75th GPAs...

It's ok, Helmy, you'll learn to get be wrong as you get more and more used to.

I haven't been checking up on the LSAT threads. Did you get your LSAT back? I know you were testing in the high 170's, right?

If you haven't been checking up on the threads, then I got a 180. If you have been, then you probably know that it was a rather epic fail/167/1 point lower than my previous. I'm all about a good ribbing for a choke like that, but it's good to keep the info in threads like this on track.

Awww, I'm sorry about that, buddy. I guess what they say about the fourth time being the charm isn't true.

You're right. Let's get back to fee waiver discussion.
