UPenn Application Fee Waiver? Forum

[puff0ffluff]

Did anyone else get an app fee waiver email from Penn this morning? Does anyone know what their merit-based waivers are based on? (As in, a GPA higher than 3.??, and/or an LSAT score higher than 1__???) I'm a little confused because my stats aren't really that competitive for Penn this late in the cycle.

thank you very much =)

I have I believe the exact same stats as you (3.44, 171), and I got the fee waiver as well. I would say it is worth applying. Everything so far seems to indicate an odd cycle.

Where else are you applying?

oh excellent =) i guess i'll give it a shot too. hope we both get in ^___^

i'm also applying for boston U and C, georgetown, ucla, usc, UC Davis, WM (in case of extreme unluckiness), and cornell (my first choice =D)

what about you?

I got a fee waiver out of the blue from them last cycle in March. My numbers weren't competitive at all(worse than yours). I didn't even apply cuz I didn't think I had a snowball's chance in hell that late in the cycle. Really bizarre.
