Does anyone know the odds of getting rejected after being invited to Duke Priority Track. Like sans major red flags in your PS is it a given or is it still as competitive?

Not that I know of, thank God. I'd love to hear what a school would say to that.
I'll let you know. I wanna send another to acknowledge the mistake but I think that'd just be worse...

Haha I did that. Ended up getting a waiver.

Did you send a second email or just wait for a response?

I sent a second email, saying that I mixed up their email with the other law school.

After soliciting and getting a "we only do waivers by CRS" response, I got a waiver from Penn and a hidden waiver from NYU today!

That puts me at 8/10 with one waiting... c'mon cornell!

I just got an unsolicited fee waiver from Penn. I'm hopeful that puts my acceptance probability at a high rate, but I doubt it.

Hoping the same thing!

I did but I don't think it's necessary. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

CRS =/= CAS. You have to pay for the credential assembly service before applying, but you can use the candidate referral service anyway (which is free).

So i tried to solicit Georgetown and they flat out said no, they said i dont qualify. All the other schools said they didnt offer merit based ones or i should try through CRS. So i go to LSAC to apply and i have a hidden one from Georgetown.

How rude. I would just skip Georgetown based on that initial experience =/

Weirdest fee waiver of the day: UAlabama offered me a $30 iTunes gift card if I apply 0_o

I've gotten the same unsolicited fee waiver email from them twice this cycle.

Never had an email like this, anyone get this? What does it mean?

Weird, probably means they thin you're a promising applicant and even though this email doesn't waive your fee or guarantee admission, they feel you would make a positive contribution to their school. Anyone's guess really though.
