Top Law Schools

Because last year's thread was killer and helpful, I decided to make one for this year's applicants. I am not an applicant so I'm not getting unsolicited emails or requesting fee waivers but as this thread gets bumped I will update.

Remember - it never hurts to ask .

Do I have a hidden waiver?

Fee Waiver Request Email:

Re: Application Fee Waiver

Hello,

I have a quick question – I was wondering if School X offered merit-based application fee waivers, and if I would qualify for one. My information is:

LSDAS GPA: x.xx

LSAT SCORE: xxx

LSAC ACCOUNT NUMBER: Lxxxxxxxx

Thank you for your time,

Hopeful Law Student

Does when I took the LSAT affect unsolicited waivers? I took in Feb of 2015.

Just Duke PT so far for me, I'm a September 2014 taker who ended up sitting out last cycle.

I had one for Chicago when I submitted, might be a carryover from last cycle.

I took the Dec 2013 LSAT and received a number of fee waivers for the 2013-2014 cycle, but chose not to apply until this cycle. Does anybody know how I can get the same offers this year?

In addition to the ones above I've gotten Emory, UC Hastings, Wisconsin, Northeastern, Washington University, and Brooklyn Law

How do you update your cycle on LSAC? I just searched the site for twenty minutes and couldn't find it.

In case anyone didn't know, Northwestern is free (there's an online form you fill out). Tulsa is also free with an online form, for anyone interested.

Received an unsolicited fee waiver from UCLA yesterday

Successfully solicited waivers from UVA and University of Richmond today.

Found a hidden Vanderbilt waiver today

UCLA seems very good about getting them out. Within 12 hours of updating my cycle they sent me one.

Hidden waivers from Columbia, NYU, Penn, and UVA. Thinking they may be holdovers from last cycle.

Darn, Columbia is the only one that hasn't given me one. Do you mind sharing your stats?

Vandy sent out unsolicited fee waiver emails today! How can we see hidden waivers?

EDIT: it took about two seconds to find this oops

I didn't see the Vandy fee waiver until after I submitted the app. I guess that doesn't get reimbursed, right?
