Top Law Schools

Hi,

I know the question regarding fee waivers comes up every so often. Two target schools sent me fee waivers today. I am paying for the rest of the target and reach schools on my list, but there are three target schools (Northeastern, UMiami, and Villanova) that I am debating whether or not to apply to. With the other schools, I'm already paying a lot of money, and I'm wondering if it's worth a chance if I was to ask these three school if there's any way I could get a fee waiver.

-Can I do this?
-Can this count against me?
-What would I say in the email to each of these three schools, and what information should/would I provide them in the email?

Thanks so much for any information.

Anyone have any info? Thanks.

My emails were:

I am interested in applying to x school, do you offer fee waivers?

All but 3 schools said yes. All of those sent me need based apps, and I received them after filling the form out. I never emailed them my stats.

Here's the one e-mail I sent (I was denied a fee waiver and admission pending, but doesn't hurt to ask!)

Dear Admissions Office of X,

I am extremely interested in applying to X Law School, and I am writing to see if I could be considered for a merit-based fee waiver. My LSAT score is x, my GPA is x, and my LSAC Number is L31042161.

Thank you so much!

how do you find who to email?

Ask for fee waivers! I applied to a total of 34 schools (too many, I know) and I asked each school for a fee waiver.

Dear (school),

I am interested in your school, I was wondering if your institution is offering merit based fee waivers, and if my numbers would qualify for one...

I ended up paying for 3 of my 34 applications.. I was shocked! The majority of the schools I applied to, I was at/below the 25th %..

Best of luck!
