You'll apparently be accepted at Rutgers without even applying so don't be too mad loljwthurman wrote:I scored a 176 on the June LSAT.

+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 minejwthurman wrote:I scored a 176 on the June LSAT.

Do you have an LSAC or self-reported GPA in your profile? Do you have preferences set for what schools you're looking at?Sounder89 wrote:+1, same. You're not the only one getting the cold shoulder.

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.jwthurman wrote:I scored a 176 on the June LSAT.

I got the Duke priority track email this morning.outlookingin wrote:Sounder89 wrote: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!
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.shadowofjazz wrote:Do you have an LSAC or self-reported GPA in your profile?

This is the fee waiver email I used when I was applying:
Admissions Office -
Thank you very much. I was worried about seeming bothersome, but I might as well throw this out. Thanks again
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.
- John

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.jwthurman wrote: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.
