Yeah they sent a follow up email saying to disregard the code and that it should automatically waive the fee, I checked las night and it's waived.

Did you all have them on your school list on LSAC? (USC, UCLA) I received neither but I've also kept Cali schools off my list.

I didn't have them on my list but check your spam folder. my gmail account sent them to spam which it hasn't done with many other schools

sad to find nothing but emails about Viagra from sketchy looking email accounts

You got NYU, but not USC and UCLA? What are you stats?

I wasn't going to apply to those two, but I think I will now.

My stats aren't amazing lol. 3.4/164/URM F

Don't feel bad, I didn't get UCLA either lol, I got USC and NYU though.

got an email from USC about the Frank Rothman Scholars Program. didn't know about it until 5 minutes ago, but it looks super dope:

"Full-tuition scholarship guaranteed for 3 years (estimated at $180,000)
$2,000 stipend each year for 3 years
Paid 1L summer fellowship at Skadden in Los Angeles"

if anyone else got one, based on older threads, it means you can pretty much expect at least an acceptance w/ $$ if you apply. I doubt I'd get it with my current numbers (retaking) and having just graduated a few months ago.

Holy shit! The Frank Rothman Scholars Program sounds like the sweetest deal there is. I'm sure you need to be outrageously qualified though (I.e forgoing t-6 $ offers). Anyone have any insight?

By the way: I got a hidden USC waiver, but no email whatsoever from them.

yeah that guaranteed 1L summer job at Skadden is something I've never seen before. I wonder if a 1L Skadden job easily translates to a post-grad Skadden job.

assuming you didn't actively screw anything up while there or in class, I'd bet it would be almost a sure thing.

Has anyone on this forum ever been admitted to this program? I'd love to hear their stats.

Do any of the older threads reveal numbers of the winners?

I doubt there's anything since only one person a year gets it. here's this though http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/v ... p?t=104296 -- just says CCN type numbers.

I did some digging and found a winner on USC website and then googled his name and found his Linkedln where he also posted his LSAT score - It was a 167. No GPA posted but had an SAT score of 2260

Another winner posted on her linkedln that she graduated Summa Cum Laude but no specific GPA number

So im guessing you need like 3.85+ and 167+

Prolly not. Your GPA could be counterbalanced by a higher LSAT and vice versa

you definitely don't. I meet the LSAT you posted, but I'm under (but close) to the 3.85.

Just received a waiver from UPENN. I had solicited earlier in the cycle, but was just told that they only award them through CRS. I'm under the GPA 25th and above the LSAT 75th.

Same, GPA<25 and LSAT=75

[LikelyThrowaway]

Cue a dozen "same"s.

[RictusErectus]

Cue a dozen "same"s.

Not from me. My GPA is still being processed by LSAC (I'm an international) and my LSAT is >75th. No waiver.

I wasn't part of the big NYU wave either. Post September 1 my luck has entirely died out.

[caitlinrw]

+1 for UPenn
