This morning/today? Or Friday? (No im not tracking this obsessively what are you talking about)?

A couple more data points:

Sent requests to Cornell and NYU (both declined). Cornell pointed me to the online fee waiver policy, and NYU said "CRS only - make sure you are registered."

Oh well, I tried!

ETA: Very friendly decline from Georgetown but they said if I get a new LSAT score I could email them again. I'm not retaking, and I'm already above their 75th though...

I laughed when I saw the Gtown part... how soon did you hear back from them?

I wish you lied to me. Still holding out hope that they'll do multiple waves of these, though.

Anyone see fee waivers roll in after paying for CAS? I dragged my feet on that, and just got my academic summary report today. I have similar stats to some here on the board but haven't seen a lot of the fee waivers mentioned. Time to start emailing schools?

I have to retake unfortunately, but I got an unsolicited one from Mauer yesterday with an indication that applicants with my numbers generally receive ~$75k.

If you get an LSAC fee waiver approved, then do you still have to pay the processing fees?

You get 4 free applications

from http://www.lsac.org/jd/lsat/fee-waivers

Each approved LSAC fee waiver will entitle you to
two LSATs (test dates must fall within the two-year waiver period);
one CAS registration, which includes the Letter of Recommendation Service as well as access to electronic applications for all LSAC-member law schools;
four CAS Law School Reports (available only after final approval of an LSAC fee waiver); and
one copy of the Official LSAT SuperPrep II™.
No other LSAC fees will be waived.

Same situation. No academic report/transcript yet, just self-reported. I strongly suspect that has to do with something.

got a pack of stuff from Stanford and a need based fee waiver application. pretty cool even though it probably doesn't mean much.

I had a couple fee waivers when it was self reported, but after paying for CAS, all the t14 waivers rolled in and I don't have the strongest stats. So maybe that does have something to do with it?

Same.

I got one too, but mine was very much URM focused. Letter from the president of the Latino law society, etc. What did yours look like?

Got the same response from Gtown... it's just template. I doubt they even read our email request...

This is from a couple of weeks back, mind you, but I did manage to solicit one from Georgetown. They responded about a day later.
