So apparently Michigan and Duke both waived my application fee but neither of them sent me an email about it:) you might wanna check Michigan as well @NotMyName
@sx23 that’s good to know. I’m half hoping find a few unsolicited waivers once I go to apply. Luckily, Michigan granted me a waiver when I asked them directly.
Does anyone have data on whether these fee waivers are any indication on chances of acceptance? I assume these schools just want to boost their application numbers to seem more competitive and there’s no affect.
@Giselle112 BC extended a waiver to me this week when I emailed them directly with my numbers and brief financial situation. So they definitely offer waivers. If you've looked on their website, no harm in shooting them a brief email asking for info.
@sx23 no but I feel dumb for sending them an email. They clearly say on their website that they waive the fee for any application received between 9/1 and 12/1 http://www.law.northwestern.edu/admissions/faq/faqjd.html
I like that idea. Fee waivers is a cloudy aspect of applications. I’m in the airport without a computer. Happy to build one later or contribute to any that’s built before I can.
@mew41195 did you receive a waiver from GULC during that round? If so, would you mind sharing your numbers? I was bummed to be denied a waiver from them.

@sx23 Yeah I'm starting to think it might have an error for that Berkeley waiver as well and they decided to correct that mistake since they also claim to not give merit waivers.
I'm going too! The RSVP email I got said every participating school will be giving fee waivers to attendees. It'll be my first law fair, so I don't know the answers to your other Qs. (I'd go with biz casual, though.)
