This school has a huge endowment, which means they have a lot of money to throw around. I emailed them and they gave me a fee waiver in under 48 hours. They should do the same for you if you email the admissions department asking for one.

But my GPA is embarrassing and I don't want to tell them what it is without my PS and addendums backing it up.

My dad donated his body to the Wash U medical school... should i bring that up? lol
I don't think you have to bring that up? Whats your LSAT? My GPA is low as well, I didn't tell them what it was. All they care about is the LSAT anyways, crazy splitter friendly school

WUSTL is my number one target though, even though my chances to get in are slim I still need to apply. Just don't want to pay for it :)

I would just email them with your LSAT, see what happens. If they ask for the GPA tell them what it is.
