Too bad I already paid to write the LSAT twice already and paid for CAS @_@

Trust me those $25 waivers every time will be huge. I paid almost $500 in the LSAC fees last year.

Benwyatt is, Ryatt(right). But at least I get the top HYSCCN to waive their application fees which are only given to LSAC fee waiver recipients.

And I might always retake in February to make use of that LSAT wiaver lol.

How long after updating your expected enrollment does it take for the fee waivers to start rolling in? I took the June LSAT but just now allowed CRS to share my stats with the law schools

It took about three days for me to get my first one. The spam from TTTs started the next day.

Depends on when the school runs their search. The point of this thread, while informing others when you got unsolicited fee waivers, is to help you solicit them. That way you don't need to wait. In the OP, there's a draft email on how to go about asking for a fee waiver. It's very easy to get.

How did you go about it? I want to solicit as well but see that Georgetown has a pretty comprehensive fee waiver application on its website (https://www.law.georgetown.edu/admissio ... r-Form.pdf).

I don't want to reveal too much financial info before I'm accepted and don't want to come across as stingy by requesting a fee waiver when the info would probably show I can pay the fee.

Email admissions a version of the drafted email in the OP. The worst they will say is no. There's two types of waivers: need and merit based. For merit based, your stats alone will get you through the door and no financial information needs to be disclosed.
