Do I have a hidden waiver?
http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/v ... 2&t=129078

May I ask for your stats? lol

I haven't gotten any fee waivers yet

Thanks for making this thread! I guess they might not count as unsolicited, but what do you think about adding a category for schools that hand out fee waivers at LSAC forums?

FWIW, although they may not be TOP law schools, I do know that a few have free applications anyway, like Arkansas.

Feel free to post ITT if you find out about free apps. I'll keep it updated with any of the ranked schools.

BTW Bex you're wonderful! Thank you for making this thread!

I got a fee waiver from Valispero (??)

Also I thought I saw somewhere the NU was doing their "apply before this date in Nov. and your fee is waived." But I may be wrong.

Valparaiso you mean? I got that one well, along with some other TTTs, but I forgot which ones tbh.

Sure. They email me like twice a month and I've never opened there emails, but many have indicated a fee waiver.

valpo's median LSAT is literally 143

also NU has no fee if you apply before a certain date

I know, it's amazing. How much $$ would they offer to applicants with an LSAT 30 points above median?

I feel like they might YP WL you hahah

I think I've gotten literally zero so far, anyone (esp. reapplying ppl) know if I have to do something on LSAC?

I'm not reapplying but I took the Feb LSAT and got a lot of fee waivers for last cycle. Michigan sent me an email a few months ago saying that I had to "re-register" for CRS in mid-August to get their fee waiver, but LSAC says that there is no way to re-register and to just change my expected enrollment year. I've still turned it off and turned it back on a couple of times though. Idk

hm weird I'll try that. I also unsubscribed from as many TTT email lists as possible already so that may be part of it

They would probably list it on their website as a talking point. "Last year we had an applicant with a 173 apply!"

I also sat Feb and it has been quiet this cycle...got an email from WUSTL with a waiver Jul 25 but I think that's been it for a while.

I also unsubscribed from a lot of TTTs that sent me emails back in spring, but I never saw anything from Michigan...

Same issues as the other February takers.

I recently changed my e-mail in LSAC and haven't gotten any e-mails from schools for awhile...

I got some TTTs in addition to those Bex listed but I imagine/hope no one cares. Tagged for science/future times!

edit: I am a June taker.

So that could maybe be added to the list?

I didn't get a GULC waiver (June LSAT), though I remember seeing a wave of people getting them in July (can't remember which thread). Do we think they'll do another wave for June (or earlier) takers, or is it time to solicit?

I'm wondering if their CRS search #s will change after the new medians are released? (For all schools, not just GULC).
