Or is this just a temporary thing that later changes to an actual amount? 3 chicago schools show as $0 (no, not UC or NW)

Times are tough and schools want as many people to apply as possible. I get so many emails each day from schools saying my application fees have been waived. hehe
I'm pretty sure some of the schools on the no list will still do it if you ask them, they just don't advertise it... An email request never hurt anyone...
@974 I'm a veteran as well and found this list on TLS of all the schools that offer fee waivers for vets. Hope it's accurate ;) I didn't realize there was a $30 fee per school payable to LSAC. I was going to apply to all of the free ones, but I'll definitely narrow this list way down now...
Schools that waive application fees for Vets' (not all inclusive):
Lewis and Clark
ASU
Buffalo
Cincinnati
Colorado
Denver
UCONN
FIU
Hawaii
Notre Dame
Tulane
Richmond
Widener
William and Mary
UVA
NYU
Chicago
Georgetown
University of Washington
Berkeley
George Washington
Emory
Vanderbilt
Wyoming
Montana
Penn State
UMASS
No Waiver:
Columbia
Michigan
Cornell
Harvard
Yale
Stanford
Duke
Yeah that's partly why I'm applying to a lot of schools that are big longshots, moreso because they'd be free to attend with the GI Bill, but every little bit helps. I need to get on my email game and submit those requests ASAP.
@974
You will probably get waivers from just about every school, since you are a veteran.
You should also check their websites to see if you fall in any of their fee waiver categories (e.g.- TFA, military, etc.) or try scoring some at law school fairs or LSAC forums.

You can also contact admissions offices directly for merit-based fee waivers after receiving your score.
no... they charge a $30 fee for each law school report they generate, which you will need to send to each school: http://www.lsac.org//jd/applying-to-law-school/cas/law-school-reports/?view=1
thank you all! @alexandergreene93842 omg that is so great! @974 @licknee10505.janson35 are you guys referring to the $170 dark lord CAS fee?
Just don't forget those fee waivers are for the school's application fees and not the dark lords' application fees... Getting a fee waiver from them is much more difficult...
Yup, no fees and fee waivers are an incentive to apply! It's good for the schools and good for you
@lpadr009465
After you take the LSAT you will start receiving fee waivers from schools based on your numbers.
Perfectly normal, just don't forget you still have to pay the dark lords at LSAC for each application.
wow this is awesome!!!!!!!! w00t
Yes, some schools are free (Baylor, etc).
