High June LSAT, no emails from ANY admissions offices Forum

[jwthurman]

I scored a 176 on the June LSAT. I checked the box on the LSAC website indicating that I wanted my scores released to schools. I called LSAC and was told that the scores have been sent out. Does anyone have any idea why I'm getting the cold shoulder?

Consider yourself lucky. I scored high on the June LSAT and have been getting nothing but constant desperate-sounding spam from Charlotte School of Law and Cooley for weeks now. Not one email from a semi-respectable school. In a recent thread like this one, people were talking about how they got fee waivers from 1st tier schools and in a few cases, T14s. But so far I've had nothing that wasn't along the lines of "please come to our sh**y school you'll love it here we need your money please!!!"

You'll apparently be accepted at Rutgers without even applying so don't be too mad lol

For what its worth, I got an unsolicited fee waiver from William and Mary with my 173 in June.

You'll start getting more in the next few weeks. If you're in a rush than solicit your own from schools.

[senorhosh]

Same here. Was wondering where my fee waivers were. I can't pay for many schools right now.
I did get the William and Mary one too. But that's about it.

Check last year's fee waiver tracking thread to get an idea of when good schools start sending out fee waivers.

+1, same. You're not the only one getting the cold shoulder. Maybe when they looked at your LSAC they didn't like your name, or your writing sample is really messy like mine

Do you have an LSAC or self-reported GPA in your profile? Do you have preferences set for what schools you're looking at?

I got a 179 in June, though not this year. When I did, I didn't start getting fee waivers until October, so you may have some time to wait. I would suggest emailing any schools you are interested in with a standard, form email and ask them if they will give you one. Though, if memory serves, most of the schools I emailed said they usually don't/can't start giving out fee waivers until their applications are live on LSAC.

This is the fee waiver email I used when I was applying:

Admissions Office -

My name is John Q. Public and I am interested in applying to your school, but have limited funds to do so and was hoping you might grant me a fee waiver. My LSAC number is L123456. I went to XYZ undergrad and my GPA is 3.9 and I scored a 179 on the June LSAT. If you are able to grant me a fee waiver, I will surely apply as soon as possible. Thank you.

I got a fee waiver from UCLA earlier today, which has been my first fee waiver from a top 20 law school. Hopefully there will be more to come!

[PDaddy]

Don't sweat it...the letters and emails are coming.

Yeah got it from UCLA today as well with my June 175. When does the Duke Priority Track thing happen?

Yeah, I'm set up for CRS. I spoke with someone at LSAC who said that schools do not send out fee waivers for retakers. It seemed odd that all schools would have the same policy, but I took her at her word. Will call again tomorrow. I seem to receive a different answer every time I speak to someone there.

Thank you very much. I was worried about seeming bothersome, but I might as well throw this out. Thanks again

Yeah no kidding. Those e-mails are annoying as shit. Be glad you're not flooded with them.

[NoodleyOne]

Fucking Liberty University law school... yeah, never gonna happen.

That hasn't been the case for me. I retook in June for the second time, and I've received almost all of the fee waivers mentioned on TLS. I also received a ton after my first retake in Dec.
