  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.
