Subscription pricing
I checked the LSAC and saw the Credential Assembly Service (CAS), which cost $50. How would it(elvuation) influence the admission? any idea?

Yes when you're applying to schools in the US.

Yep, same. I agree, it doesn't hurt to try. Don't forget the waiver includes a free Superprep! did you receive that? Also, it only covers the CAS for four schools you apply to. Beyond that, you will have to pay the $30; but the application itself should be free. Nowadays Law Schools are very lenient and open about who they give application waivers to but more-so for those who qualify for the LSAC waiver. :)
All I did was fill out a form and send them my tax return and was approved.
Did anyone else receive the fee waiver? I did. But then again, I am a single mother who aged out of foster care. It says on LSAC website that they are very selective with the fee waivers, but I guess it doesn't hurt to try? They cover the cost of two LSAT exams plus the CAS service.
Yeah, you are kind of forced to buy it. Worse money I've ever spent, haha,
Thank you so much!! I need get it now.
CAS actually costs $175...
From the LSAC:
What CAS Costs
After you pay for CAS, your account will remain active for five years. The CAS fee is currently $175 and includes
transcript summarization (as well as authentication and evaluation of academic records for internationally educated JD applicants, if applicable);
creation of your law school report;
letter of recommendation processing; and
electronic application processing for all ABA-approved law schools and some non-ABA-approved schools.

Many schools require CAS, so there is often not away around it.
