That was my first choice, but I couldn't find it.

I saw that! 60% I think? I really get the feeling Berkeley likes to be different

That, plus no letter grades, plus trees, plus weather, makes me want to apply there. I suppose the merits of the school itself are good too...

Hi all. Checking in. I applied to 4 schools last cycle but they were way below where I should've been aiming.

All my materials are set and rearing to go.

Two questions:

Going to email for fee waivers soon since I took the lsat last year. I don't think they'll come automatically again. I have a 172. In my email is it weird if I only include my lsat and leave out my gpa? I'm a heavy splitter and wouldn't like to advertise my gpa to schools when soliciting a fee waiver.

Second: all my materials are set except school specific essays. Is there a way to know what these are and get a head start on them?

For my fee waiver statement, I only included my LSAC #, which from that alone, will give them all the information they need.

You should make a G'Town thread then!
Hmm maybe. Want to give others a chance though esp. if Gtown is anyone's dream school.
I forgot that you already took Duke

If someone makes the banners for Cornell and Georgetown, I'll do both. I don't have the desire to photoshop today.

Thanks for the replies. Consensus being include the gpa.

Ofcourse not what I wanted to here.

An email saying "LSAT 172 and GPA 2.9X" doesn't look great when asking for fee waivers.

Right there with you. From personal experience, last cycle, you can receive a full Scholly to a t20 school and be flat out denied to a school ranked not even 2 slots higher.
