Texas only gives out merit waivers through CRS. I got this response from them:

Hello,

The only fee waiver an applicant can apply for is a need-based waiver. UT Law offers a limited number of merit-based waivers through LSAC’s CRS Program. You cannot apply or request a merit-based waiver. To ensure consideration, you need to register with CRS.

Michigan told me that they dont solicit waivers, they only give need-based. merit based are automatically given

U Mich? I just solicited one not too long ago. I got one last cycle, too, unsolicited.

What are your numbers?

U Mich? I just solicited one not too long ago. I got one last cycle, too, unsolicited.

Did they send you a code? I just got an email saying that if you qualify for a merit waiver, it will be applied automatically through LSAC (hidden waiver?)

[itachiuchiha]

^ I got the same email as you

"Dear XXXXXXX,

Please allow me to respond on behalf of Dean Zearfoss and to thank you for your interest in Michigan Law.  We offer merit-based fee waivers through LSAC's Candidate Referral Service.  It does appear that you would qualify, so, if you are registered for that service, the waiver will appear automatically in your LSAC account.



Please let me know if you have any questions. We look forward to hearing from you.




Regards,"

U Mich just sent me that. 3/14 of the t14 so far. Next up, duke :B

not really fee waiver related, but just got an email invitation to the upper midwest law fair, so i googled it to find the schools that would be in attendance. quite the TTT circle jerk

[Vexed]

Got the same response from Michigan (with them saying I'll probably have a hidden waiver when I go to apply). UCLA granted my a fee waiver after emailing them. Duke said they forwarded my email to their Director of Admissions, haven't heard back from them yet.

UCLA:

Hello XXXX,

You are welcome to submit a fee waiver application. Our fee waiver form is available by clicking on the following link:

http://www.law.ucla.edu/feewaiver

Select one of the four sections to fill out. Simply choose the section that is most applicable to you and don’t forget to complete the last page, which requests your contact information.

You may fax (310-206-7227) or email the fee waiver form to our office. We will email you within 5 business days letting you know if it has been approved. You may then fill out our application online accordingly.

Thank you for your interest in UCLA School of Law.

Kind regards,

[californiauser]

Penn told me they don't do individual fee waiver requests and that if I'm eligible, they'll find me in crs.

ok so University of Florida law only offers fee waivers to those who have the LSAC waiver.

I'm not sure if you're interested in need-based waivers but I just solicited one from UVA, and I've sent out a ton of emails to the other schools I want to apply to. If there is interest, I'll post the outcomes of this endeavor (or you can PM me).

Just got a yes from soliciting Duke for merit

[t14splitter]

Just got a yes from soliciting Duke for merit

Did you ask about priority track / did they mention it?

No, they didn't mention it. I didn't ask, though. It's possible they're sending them out later this week, because here was the message:

Dear XXXX,

Thanks for writing -- I appreciate your interest in Duke Law School! You should hear from us more formally later in the week, but I'll let you know now that we'll be happy to waive your application fee. Watch for our e-mail (and you may need to check your spam folder -- sometimes Gmail is a little over-protective...) and let me know if you have any other questions about the application process or the law school in general.

Regards,
Mark Hill
