Top Law Schools

When do you normally find out if you get one?

Usually right after getting your LSAT score. For me, they continued to trickle in for about a month or so.

I got tons of fee waivers, but only about 3 or 4 from schools that I wanted to apply to. I solicited the rest of them, and I think I only paid for 1 out of 10 applications. So don't be afraid to ask schools for fee waivers if you don't receive one from a school you want to apply to.

When is it appropriate to start soliciting them for the upcoming cycle?

As soon as the apps become available would probably be a good time. Also, dont be afraid to ask a few times. Different administrative people will give you different answers.

Once their applications are available for the cycle

How long does it take for them to give your waiver or reject your request? I want to get apps in as close to day one as possible.

Depends. I always got an answer within a week, usually a day or two.

A couple of schools (I'm looking at you BC and BU!!!) initially told me they didn't offer waivers but then a week later both offered.

Any movement on these suckers? Apps are getting scary close to opening. Has anyone been soliciting?

I've been able to solicit waivers from Gtown, UVA and WUSTL so far! Most of the others have said they are waiting for CRS checks or to check back with them next month.

Is there any rule of thumb as to the numbers with which you can solicit fee waivers? At / above school's median scores or sth like that?

I think I read it is $20 per school, up from $12 last year.

Have fun with the search function. At most schools you'll be in the first wave of decisions even if you wait until you get a waiver.
