application fee based on Merit. Please include your Resume, list your GPA

Anybody having luck soliciting waivers from Chicago (I've heard they don't, but you never know) or Columbia? I have fee waiver numbers but nothing after months... No harm in trying, of course, but I figured I'd ask before I solicit so I have the appropriate hopes going in.

I tried. Got shot down.

sorry

[mr_toad]

Duke! Finally came today, I requested it two months ago.. 3.7, 169 . Hopefully, this bodes well for my October 9 retake
USC 3-4 days ago. The fun never stops.
The list so far from the top-20 ... all from CRS, no requests were honored unless Duke counts.
Columbia, Michigan, Virginia, Northwestern, Duke, Texas, UCLA, Vanderbilt, USC...
Hoping October 9 will get me love from Chicago, one of my two top choices, or Cornell, one of my preferred targets/safeties (depending on new LSAT).

Good luck to everyone in the app cycle! This board has been a lifesaver over the last 10 months... better than cable

Did they give you PT?

[mr_toad]

No, no PT but that's ok, Philly, 'cause as you know, I'm not quite ready to send stuff in yet. Soon, soon... Will be hitting submit hopefully once a day starting Monday. Northwestern's up first.

[r6_philly]

I wonder if they will ever get back to me about my PT inquiry

I am waiting to submit NU because all the different essays for the AJD app.

[mr_toad]

I thought about AJD too, but honestly, as much as I love the challenge of accelerated learning and no time off (and one less year of lost income), I relish the idea of three years. I'm an idealist, despite (or because of) having been in the education business for so long. Yes. Business. Let's not be naive...

MSU Fee waiver + "we wish to notify you that you are a very strong candidate for a prestigious full-tuition scholarship award"

[padthai]

Got Duke by email today, too!
USC and Michigan a couple of weeks ago.

Now just waiting for the October score to come out so I can hopefully request for more!

I was wondering this too-- I am at a 174/3.87 and requested from both schools, but they said they don't do it through email but only through CRS. I guess I feel that I have fee waiver numbers, so any reason I wouldn't get the waiver??

Same thing with me and 173/3.85. No idea.

[csoloski]

I did not ask for any waivers but I was given them at UCLA, USC, and Duke.

I am going to pursue a PhD after I get done law school, while working. I have been working/schooling together for a few years and it's really enjoyable because I have something else to focus on after work, making work less stressful. Research after work seems like a decent hobby.

Quick question:

I was curious how soon after the October Lsat scores come out will CRS fee waivers start to come in. I have my applications done for schools like Columbia, Penn, Georgetown, UVA, etc. and want to submit them as soon as my score is released. On the same note, I obviously would love to save the money if my score is good enought to warrant a fee waiver.

Thanks for the help!

Miami + scholarship consideration

[JJDancer]

Yeah Miami is HOUNDING me, I thought it was because I'm an FL resident but maybe they are just hounding people with similar stats.

me too! They sent me two emails today both of which reminding me of the fee waiver they sent me. And I live no where near Florida...

idk if Columbia and Upenn generally give fee waivers.

If I was you, and concerned about the $, I'd email as soon as you get the scores.
