Anyone have word on if/when to expect hidden fee waivers from Columbia, NYU, Penn, or Chicago?

Same. I'd much rather wait a bit to submit my apps if it meant saving $300+. Then again, if these schools don't do fee waivers, there's no point in waiting. Any advice from those who know?

Maybe it's just me, but I totally missed Northwestern's big purple button on their website for a fee waiver. It's on the right side of the this page: https://www.law.northwestern.edu/admissions/applying/

Cheers

Just had my fee waiver request rejected by BU...Kind of shocked, as I'm significantly above both 75s. Do they really not do individual waivers? Or is this YP? I hope not, as it is actually a top choice of mine with the right scholarship.

"Thank you for your interest in Boston University School of Law. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide a merit-based fee waiver by request. We do offer select candidates merit-based fee waivers through the LSAC Candidate Referral Service (CRS). Please be sure to register with the CRS. We do review requests for need-based fee waivers. If you feel that you may qualify for a need-based fee waiver, please email us at [email protected] with the following information. If you are a registered student, please include a copy of your current year’s financial aid award letter which includes budget and award.

If I've learned anything this cycle, it's that splitters don't get waivers. High 170s, no dice from Duke, Cornell, or UMich.

Sorry - figured it wasn't there. I would think someone would bite with an LSAT like that! Have you tried soliciting?
