Michigan and NYU fee waivers anyone?? Forum

Does NYU and Michigan give out LSAT fee waivers?
I got a fairly good score for the Oct. LSAT (172) and got a bunch this week including Virginia, Northwestern, UCLA, Vandy, Duke, etc. etc... Does NYU and Michigan give such out? If so, when?

I got both of them, and they were both hidden. (174)

Well, I know I decided not to apply to a few schools because I didn't get a hidden fee waiver.

I got both, Michigan when I was at 169, NYU two days after I hit 170.

Nevertheless, I think the school could get a bigger applicant pool if they actively sent emails about their fee waivers... why wouldn't they? it still puzzles me

was it hidden?

[HowdyYall]

yeah bud both were hidden for me

[dpk711]

was Chicago hidden as well??

[mr_toad]

Both were hidden, I received a Michigan e-mail about a week after I discovered the hidden one (in September) and then a snail mail viewbook (unrequested, but this happened to many people, I believe). NYU did not happen until two days after October test results, was hidden, and I've never received an e-mail or anything from them.

Edit: Still no Chicago, and I went ahead and applied, was the only app I paid for (applied to Columbia, Chicago, NYU, Michigan, Virginia, NU, Duke, Cornell, Georgetown, etc... I received way more fee waivers than my numbers justify, probably a bunch of schools figured I'd think I had an outside chance and could be cannon fodder for their acceptance rate)

just checked and i seem to have a hidden University of chicago fee waiver too; wow glad i checked this thread haha

[mr_toad]

Would trade much to have received that... oh well. Congrats!

can I ask what your lsat was?

[mst]

Lsat of 172. Michigan gave me one, let me know via snail mail with a hand signed letter. NYU hidden.

[chaosnoodlesoup]

Got fee waiver to Michigan via snail-mail, also hand signed [lol].

The booklet that came with the letter is really nice--too bad I applied last week. Boo.

A hidden fee waiver is a CRS fee waiver that doesn't have an email that comes with it. You don't know you have one until you attempt to complete your app, and as you're confirming it it says that the fee is waived due to waiver rather than the money will be added to your checkout.
