Application Fee Waivers - Fall 2011 Applicants Forum

[kazu]

It's weird that my numbers triplet didn't get one and I did

However, this one did help me feel wanted and happy
i am so pathetic

My transcript isn't in LSAC yet because I'm writing an appeal letter to my dean to try to get a grade removed that I feel was unfair. That's probably why I'm not getting some of these.

I didn't get it either. Only Duke and Santa Clara want me, apparently.

I feel like this warrants a "Take Courage!" meme.

Georgetown dinged my fee waiver req. yesterday. Got Tulsa.

Wow, GULC is definitely not being generous with the waivers this cycle.

Just got a postcard from Kentucky waiving my fee.

I got the same one. I saw "UK Law" and I was like, "hey, I could go to law school in Britain!". I was disappointed.

I emailed Georgetown the other day and was given a fee waiver. My LSAT is right at their median (170) and my GPA is above their median(3.68) but below their 75th(3.81). I am not a URM.

With this comment I think Georgetown is being really inconsistent with their fee waivers. I was denied, several other posters were also denied with numbers that are well within/above admissions range for Georgetown.

Is there a fee waiver thread like this from last cycle that would inform us about when waivers were sent and for what #s last cycle?

Initially I also thought someone at Georgetown had thought "Hey, wouldn't it be fun to not look at numbers and just give every 7th person who emails us a fee waiver?" or something equally arbitrary. Then I looked back through the thread, and it seems like the non-URMs who are having success requesting fee waivers have both a GPA and LSAT at or above median.

Edited to fix grammatical ambiguity:)

they're only giving non-URMs fee waivers

I see what you did there.

That was how I parsed it when I read it, lol.

It's actually grammatically ambiguous, tyvm.

Anyone else out there hoping for a Michigan fee waiver in the mail tomorrow? They were delivered last year right around this time...(though I also read that Michigan was pretty receptive to email requests).

When I went back and read it, for a moment I thought I'd actually said they were only giving non-URMs fee waivers haha. I think it's clearer now.

I hadn't known that, but now that I do I will be sure to spend the next two weeks fretting.

Just noticed that the OP has been edited 30 times... Thanks for keeping things updated!

Just got Regent fee waiver, and "priority scholarship considerations."

"We're interested in you, [name]"

LOL. What a weird title.

Exactly what I got.

"We're interested in you, [name]"

LOL. What a weird title.

Yeah the title was weird, and then the "You have caught the attention of a distinctive law school" part was also kind of bizarre. So not only did this fee waiver make me feel special, it also made me feel a bit sketched out...

[beachbum]

"Here at Regent, we're always watching you. ....Always."

Anyone else get this line? No?

[Deuce]

Regent's fee waiver has made me paranoid about the patriot act...

Sorry. At least you won't be fretting alone! I've been fretting since 8/23 - the date fee waivers were sent out 2 yrs. ago. I may be a little obsessive about this...
