Michigan
ND
Emory
Iowa
William & Mary
UCLA
Richmond

I've also noticed that George Mason and UC Davis are free applications.

Soliciting waivers from UVA & GW today. Wish me luck!

Noooo I just found this thread so figured I'd chime in. I received most of these in September (I took the LSAT in February 2015 knowing I wasn't going to apply until this cycle). Michigan was the most recent, received that about a week ago.

Edit: just checked my email, received Duke, Vandy, Georgia, Boston U today (unsolicited). Successfully solicited both UVA & GW (both responded within 30 minutes)!

Gotcha! I took the October LSAT and just started receiving waivers today (I received Emory, UCLA, UGA, and University of Florida, amongst several other lower ranked schools if anyone's interested).

EDIT: Also just received Duke PT invite.

I was able to solicit Michigan very recently. Seems that is their way of giving a soft no.

I just got these exact same schools and the Duke PT today! When they say you get a decision back in 10 days, does that include fin aid?

I decided not to apply this cycle, but I also just got the unsolicited Duke invite today.

I think it's probably just different admissions agents. They told me I would probably get one this week. I have a 3.88/175 so I don't know why I would be turned down.

I don't think it's that, their email basically said "we only use CRS; if you register you'll prolly get one"

Not that I know of, thank God. I'd love to hear what a school would say to that.

I'll let you know. I wanna send another to acknowledge the mistake but I think that'd just be worse...

Anyone have any idea if UVA/Northwestern (and Michigan, NYU, Columbia, Georgetown) will be sending out unsolicited waivers? And if so, any guesses as to when?

Hercules Mulligan · Post by **Hercules Mulligan** » Wed Oct 28, 2015 1:35 pm

Chicago for me just now, too.

I tried to solicit MIchigan they told be i would qualify for one but they do it through CRS. I havent gotten an email yet though so maybe they just take a little longer. NYU said they use CRS as well. Also i messed up my list, i solicited Penn

Northwestern has an application online, I think everyone can get it. I don't know if UVA and GTown do unsolicited, but I've managed to solicit them. Michigan, NYU, and Columbia do unsolicited, and I hear they might be hidden. Hopefully we'll hear from them soon.

Do you have to pay for CRS before they can see your information?

I triple checked each one before I sent my emails. Good luck...

I don't even care about getting a waiver, now I'm just hoping they don't hold it against me for admission.
