I took the LSAT last year and was lucky enough to get a 179.

However, I haven't received an email for a fee waiver at: Chicago, Columbia, or Penn.

Any ideas why this may be happening?

Thanks!

For your LSAC profile, does it have 2012 listed as the year you wish to attend law school? I took the LSAT in 2010 and forgot to update my enrollment year as 2013 after having taken the LSAT again this summer. I've gotten fee waivers from most places, but I haven't gotten one from Chicago or Columbia. It could be for this reason.

NOTE: I did get one from Penn, however.

Found it tucked away in the CRS section. Let's see what happens!

Is this the credited path?

For some schools but not for Columbia and Chicago. At this point, it appears you just wait for a few more weeks to see if any more are sent out OR go ahead and send away and pay up.

You could wait until after the October LSAT to see if you get bunched in there for fee waivers; this would not put you at a disadvantage for either school. Still, there is no guarantee that you will get one then even if you qualify.

I feel your pain - it sucks. $85 may be minuscule when compared to tuition, but it's still something. I've been trying to figure out why I didn't get one from either school when other people with both higher and lower numbers have, and the above mentioned theory is the only one I could come up with.

Let me know if you find out about any other possible reasons!

If you graduate in May 2013 why are you worrying about fee waivers

Also what is your GPA

My LSAC GPA is: 3.95

Lol haha I'm retarded. I have no idea why I forgot that I was part of class of 2013.
