Application Fee Waiver advice!! Forum

[livelovelaugh49]

I just had some questions on how to go about asking for a fee waiver. Since I do not qualify for the LSAC fee waiver now (I was being financially supported by my parents when I initially registered for all of the required stuff; therefore didn't need a waiver then) I do not "qualify" for many of the schools fee waivers that I am interested in because they supposedly only accept LSAC's. Has anyone sent in a fee waiver request letter? If so, what did it include and what were your results? Did you get the fee waiver more often than not?

Any advice would be great!

I basically followed that and made requests to GULC and GW, got the one from GULC, denied for GW.

I saw that too, thanks for passing it along. Unfortunately, I am concerned my lower LSAT score would automatically turn schools away from giving me a fee waiver, so I was looking for some other means of asking through a small statement or something. My GPA and extra curricular activities are good, but LSAT score is just low. I appreciate you forwarding this link to me though!

Some schools give you a fee waiver just for asking.

That was my hope. Thanks for giving me some verification on that. I'll start sending those requests out, I appreciate it!
