If you didn't get UCLA, you may be able to solicit. I solicited and got a response back in less than 60 seconds. I thought it was their auto reply at first.

Wow, could they make it any more clear that they think that my GPA is a shameful shameful thing? I GOT IT COLUMBIA, you're only with me for my LSAT.

I think they are sending this to everybody. My LSAT and GPA are WAY too low for them and I got it.

No, not everyone. And I looked in my Spam and saw Mercer, FL Coastal, Emory, and Belmont (don't know where half these places are). No Columbia.

Did you check hidden? My columbia was hidden for 3 days. Just got the email for it today.

Also, Mercer is GA and Belmont is TN.

Just to assuage the fears of those commenting on the LSAT/GPA thing of Columbia, I got it with a 3.94. I think they just legitimately did not look at GPA when sending them out. Irrelevant to mean since I applied yesterday...

hai gaiz

i'm starting to like this place.

i got all the above via email, unsolicited, except NYU + chicago. nothing from them so far.

annoying since NYU is literally the only t14 (except HYS obvi) that doesn't already waive the fee cause of TFA.

for those of you who got uchicago fee waivers, were they by email or hidden? how high was your lsat score? i've gotten several in the past few days but that's the one i'm really hoping for

should i give up hope since they've already gone out?

It was hidden for a couple days and then I got an email. My LSAT was a 175 but i know someone who got it with a 170.

thanks! im 171/3.9 so its not implausible...just not sure if its a one-wave kinda thing and i should stop thinking about it. =P

Really? Seriously, WTF Columbia, UT, and Vandy? I'm interested in all your schools and I'm above all of your medians in GPA and your 75ths in LSAT and I don't get any love at all (hidden or otherwise)? Shit be wack yo.

My theory is they yp assuming you'll never attend. Try emailing them directly.

no, sorry, i misspoke, i just got a waiver from them.

among the (current) top 10, chicago, penn, uva, berkeley, and michigan all do.

Same question. I had tried earlier and they told me to wait for CRS. Now I only got a waiver.
