I've requested two fee waivers by email and gotten them both. I got a fee waiver to UT automatically because I'm in-state. Just a tip: sometimes it's less imposing if you ask to ask instead of just asking (I've found this works with scholarship negotiations too). So instead of saying, "Could I have a fee waiver?" you might say, "My budget is really tight right now, and I would really like to apply as soon as possible. Would it be alright if I requested a fee waiver?"calilaw33 wrote:How quickly does Texas issue fee waivers after scores come out? Got a 168 in December and want to apply ASAP, but also want to wait for a potential fee waiver if they issue them. Thanks!

Re: University of Texas c/o 2019 Applicants (2015-2016)
Well I hope you end up attending. Texas is an easy choice for me because I live less than 20 miles from the School of Law, but the most attractive things about UT Law is the collegiate atmosphere and the professors.From what I hear, it's more laid-back than even a lot of lower-ranked schools--but still more than sufficiently rigorous. And Austin is an outstanding place to live.ugg wrote:Yes, I was accepted a while ago.

Haha I was not, but I saw about five hundred OK State folks headed that way on I-10.sneijder wrote:You wouldnt be heading to the Sugar Bowl, would you ?

...and it was someone from the Bernie Sanders campaign! Awesome, I applied for a position with the state office a few weeks ago. It's cool to finally hear back about that...
...and it was a volunteer calling to see if I'm voting for Bernie and asking if I want a yard sign.
So that was an emotional roller coaster. Have a good New Years, y'all!
GO POKES! haha Happy new years everyone!
So wait....a Dutchman who likes Oklahoma State but is applying to UT Law.
On a scale of 1-10, how obsessed are you with the color orange?

hahaha My love for orange is immeasurable. I have on an orange shirt right now. Oklahoma State was where I did my UG. So I'm very fond of the color.BirdLawExpert wrote:Haha I was not, but I saw about five hundred OK State folks headed that way on I-10.sneijder wrote:You wouldnt be heading to the Sugar Bowl, would you ?

Burnt is not a favorite hue of mine, but I think I could learn to like it

Checking in. Submitted today with my December score. It's less than I'm comfortable with so I have my fingers crossed since UT is my top choice. Hook 'em.

I have submitted finally as well, I don't particularly like my chances but UT is by far my number one choice, really hoping to at least get a "Why Texas?" request.

Just got an email to join the C/O 2019 Facebook group, but I haven't gotten an acceptance call/email, and my status checker hasn't updated since October. Anyone else receive the email about Facebook without an acceptance?

Denied this morning. I cannot say I am too surprised though. Already have a few good options that I probably would have taken over UT anyway, but still loved Austin when I was stationed in Texas. Congrats to all of you who got in and will be attending.
