Application Fee Waivers - Fall 2011 Applicants Forum

[Bildungsroman]

I have the sneaking suspicion that I have numbers good enough to avoid fee waivers designed to increase selectivity, but not good enough to net me fee waivers designed to entice very desirable applicants. I judge this off of the lack of a UVA merit waiver at 168/4.0 and my own hurt pride.

This school list might look ridiculous, but I have unique circumstances that, I feel, warrant applying to many schools. Only a few are "safeties," the rest I'd love to go to.

if i recall correctly:

GWU, Wisconsin, Florida and Fordham don't grant fee waivers. William & Mary and Minnesota were unsolicited, and "NA" indicates no application fee. U Colorado and UCLA asked me to resubmit my request in September.

UVA Dir. of Admissions send me an email in response to my request with some very kind words. I doubt my numbers are reasonable for UVA, but it was a very nice touch--much better than some schools who were, I felt, pretty unpleasant.

Also got the UVA one today. Yay!

3.5/177.

[mr_toad]

Sorry if I do this wrong; UVA, 8/18, 3.7, 169.

170/3.4: Got the UVA waiver. It's been a while since I've gotten a "good" waiver (or any waiver, for that matter), so I'm pretty stoked.

Still waiting on my request from Duke...

[Rudy]

Also got UVA 168/3.77.

This makes me happy

Just ask for one; you'll get it.

Glad I didn't email UVA this morning; just got the waiver!

Yeah, but I want these law schools to court me so I feel pretty and valuable

Do tell...

[Calla Lily]

Received UVA waiver

[Deuce]

Received UVA waiver, 167/3.92...I will pay $12 for the out/wl

You're at a 75 and between a 25/median. Not exactly autoreject numbers.

[Knock]

Got UVA Today as well. So far gotten 3 i'll use: Georgetown, Duke (priority track), and UVA. I'm not doing any emailing until September, late Sept. at the very earliest.

[Calla Lily]

You are right, that prediction may have been too negative. Wasn't planning on applying to UVA, but I suppose I will throw an app out there for $12.

[nyk3]

Got UVA - 169/3.6/resident.

I just got Virginia. I don't know if it took 4 hours to make it out to where I live or what.

Your LSAT score might have been a bit low for them. They probably had to think about it for a bit.
