Fee Waiver to Duke-What does it mean?

Post by danielneuman613 » Wed Jan 06, 2016 4:43 pm

Just curious, how much weight should I attribute to fee waivers? I'm kind of curious since I have a pretty high GPA (1.79), but an LSAT score of 161 and received a fee waiver from Duke. Based on this, I'm guessing I shouldn't think too much into it, but why would they send a fee waiver to somebody eight points lower than their median LSAT score?

Thanks

Daniel
