That's smart, I probably should do that. So far i've only received one fee waiver from a school i'm interested in though, hopefully as we get closer to application time I'll get some more relevant fee waivers.

Yea. the only one I would have definitely applied to either way is Wake Forest but my LSAT isn't very high... so the seton hall and richmond ones I may throw them an app and see what happens you know?

Yeah, might as well. I'm planning on doing that too. For 12$ an application, why not apply broad and see what happens!

Its in Valparaiso, Indiana. Very respectable regional school despite being a T4. I work with several Valpo grads who are highly regarded.

I dated in a girl and the first time we hung out she mentioned her friend goes to Valpo for law school, I chuckled a little and said I was sorry for her friend. This girl was convinced it was a great school.

On another note, about a month ago I saw a "friend's" Facebook status say, " Got into Valpo Law!"

I'm from Indiana and think it's TTT, I don't know what these people are smoking.

Fee waiver, application and brochure from Lewis & Clark today by mail. I wasn't thinking about applying there, but that campus looks amazing!

Haha Im from Indiana too and I didnt want to be the guy to say this. The undergrad is decently respected so people automatically think that runs over to the law school. Im not even sure where Valpo places. In Indianapolis they are behind IUB, Notre Dame and IU-Indy, and they arent strong in Chicago either.

Me too! It really does look like an awesome place to live, and Wood Hall (despite its awkward name...) looks incredible! It's sort of tempting..

Got a reply to an email from georgetown saying they couldn't give me a fee waiver. 3.49/173 I am confused as other people in this thread got fee waivers with lower lsats.

Strange right? I asked for one with 3.45 and 174 and was also denied. Maybe they have a 3.5 lower limit?

Hey what is a good way to ask for one??? say you have financial burden (or is this obvious) or ar eyou just like "Hey, can I have a fee waiver... please?" haha. I have no idea how to go about doing this...

Anybody know when Duke generally sends out fee waivers? Their app went active today, and I haven't heard about anyone who's gotten a waiver yet.

It's still pretty early. From reading around on these boards I expect most fee waivers to go out in September. So don't panic if you haven't received any yet, and I'd hold off email requests for fee waivers until September.

For those people who took the LSAT last cycle but applying this cycle, I was told by an LSAC rep the best way to get your name updated in the system and resubmitted into the CRS system is to register for an LSAC forum. Apparently law schools search only for accounts with recent activity and you have to get some activity on your account for your name to show up in the current batches. Hopefully this works.

I talked to the guy at Duke - they are running their initial CRS searches in a few weeks. He said they will be sending out their first round of waivers before their app goes active

Thanks for the head's up.

It's free to register for forums, and "f you are unable to attend a forum for which you are registered, it is not necessary to contact LSAC."

Very nice. I am interested to see if this works.

Just to let you all know, I was able to get get some relevant fee waivers by sending out emails to schools I was interested in. So if you do not get a fee waiver from a school you want to apply to it only seems prudent to email the admissions office and ask for one. I did this and am going to be attending a school that gave me a fee waiver only after I asked for it

[Barbie]

sent out a few emails and have gotten a few responses (from local, lower ranked schools.. though)
U Miami and Stetson both gave me one. Tulane said they don't give merit based, only need based.

[Entchen]

Just got Illinois, by e-mail.
