"Apply here" emails Forum

[Education1st]

Just about everyday, I receive emails from schools encouraging me to apply. For example, today I received an email from Case Western. Does this mean that I have a good chance of being accepted or am I simply on their mailing list?

A school like Case emailing you might mean their list is a little more focused than just the general "you like law? you in." email lists used by Florida Coastal and Friends, but no, it's no silver bullet.

So does that mean I should apply? They did offer to waive the application fee.

Call them and ask for a fee waiver.

If the offered to wave the fee, it may mean you have a better chance there; so if interested, you should definitely apply.

This may be a dumb question, but you never know if you don't ask. So, just because I received an application fee waiver, I am correct in assuming that not everyone has received a waiver?

That is correct.

often times its "Hey, we noticed that either your GPA or LSAT of are in the range of last years admits. Why don't you send us an application and, if we like the whole picture, we may offer you admission."

I would think this is the case, unless the e-mail specifically says that the fee is being waived for everyone.

This does make sense. I figure schools make a killing on their application fees, so why would they waive them if their not interested. However, schools are also "rated" partially on their selectivity, so it does benefit them to have a bunch of rejected applicants.
