For those of you who have successfully appealed LSAC's fee waiver decision, do you have any tips for my appeal?

    Just tell your truth and provide as much supporting documents as possible!

    Worst case: You can do CAS at a different time than your registration for the LSAT so it's not as much of a cost right away.

    I just got my fee waiver approved. Thought i'd share some insight. Basically, a detailed letter followed by documented support. LOTS of documents. I pretty much dropped a ton of documents to backup what I wrote in my letter.

    Thank you! Did you include bills? Phone bill, rent, car, electricity? If so how many months worth?

    I included some bills, such as utility and car payment bills as well as indicating my monthly rent. I also attached proof indicating what my current earnings are to show that I’m either breaking even every month or taking a small loss.
