No, but no one cares about those TTTs anyway.

Just for the record, no waivers for HYS, correct?

Yeah, I meant that I had waivers from all the T-14s that give them except for Chicago and Columbia. HYS and Berkeley (I think) don't give them.

That's what I thought. I've been lurking around long enough to get that idea, but wanted to be sure. Can obviously use any $ help we can get

Ditto. They almost tempted me with the $30 worth of Itunes downloads, but then I remembered Alabama Law is in Alabama.

plus you'd have to pay the $28 report fee anyway. it's a good deal if you were already going to apply

Usually one gets fee waivers after they right the LSAT right? How competitive do you have to be for a fee waiver (3.3 GPA, PT average 170)? Does being urm male help with fee waivers?

Yeah I didn't get any waivers until I got my LSAT score but I know some people have gotten them this cycle without one (not T14 though, if I'm not mistaken). I'm a female MA and I've noticed that at least one school (Cornell) sent a separate round of email waivers for URMs, and Mich tailored their package they mailed me to be specific to the Latin@ organizations available on campus.

Once you get your LSAT score back you can send that info (along with your GPA, your URM status, etc.) to schools and ask for fee waivers. But they'll likely send a huge wave after the September LSAT.

Good luck and hope to see you in the URM 14-15 Cycle Thread!

Any idea if NYU does additional waves? Haven't heard from them yet, so I'm not sure whether to give up hope!

Just got Gtown solicited (requested it Friday afternoon)

Just called Columbia admissions. Guy I spoke to said they would probably wait until after the September 27th LSAT to start sending out fee waivers. So possibly not until mid-October.

^Do you think they'd reimburse someone who paid?

That's pretty late.

Thanks for the info. I'll probably just submit now if that's the case.

generally, schools dont give out fee waivers with just a gpa and no lsat right?, even if the gpa is above median for the school?

Correct (I think), at least for the T14. You may be able to solicit Northwestern without an LSAT though, I don't think they asked for my information.

NU is credited. you could have a 2.0 and no LSAT and they'd give you a fee waiver. you just have to request.

Looks like Texas just did another round of CRS waivers for residents at least. Got mine this morning.

I was gonna solicit them, since I intend to apply, until I saw that their app wasn't open yet. Maybe I should go ahead and solicit.
