The letter said it would waive the 2/1 deadline for me, so am I special or just a number to deny?

Even if you're just a number to deny it's only $12.

I got one from Columbia the other day; I'm pretty sure this is a desperate ploy to boost selectivity.

I'm tempted to reply sarcastically and roughly about not making enemies with people before you even know them, but then I would be falling into the same trap I'm advising you against.

OP, just do it. By the time you're done making your $5 footlong interesting at Subway's, you're already $12 deep. Just blow the cash and see what happens.

Bless you "chile" you should spend the effort on focusing on your cycle. Too much energy you spend on posts like this I checked.

I'm amazed that people with sub 3.0 GPA and Sub 170 LSAT are expecting scholarships to GWU. Even if you are black this is still hilarious.
