Merit-based fee waiver solicitation Forum

[kobe1020]

Just got my new score, obviously not high enough to present it on TLS but it does open the windows of some T14 for me. so I wonder what your LSAT/GPA needs to be in order to for you to at least have a shot at email soliciting fee waiver? Is median enough or it has to be at/above 75%?

Thank you all and good luck to everyone who is getting score today and applying!!

I've found that if you contact the admissions department, as long as you're within the 25th+ range, they're happy to give you a code. Plus it's an easy way to get in contact with the university and show that you're truly interested.

Never hurts to ask! Although I've found that some schools say no even if I'm above their 75th percentiles.

Yeah I asked UT but they said it only goes through CRS to determine who gets a fee waiver. I'm between median and 75%. Still never hurt to ask. Thanks guys

Same. I'm above both 25th %s and got told CRS only.

Yeah, just go ahead and ask everywhere you apply. Make sure to include your GPA/LSAT and LSAC account number, and don't ramble. I was granted a waiver everywhere I asked (except Duke- wtf, guys), which saved me about $750. DEFINITELY worth your time, even if your numbers aren't spectacular by the school's standards.
