I believe I saw a few people getting fee waivers from Cornell at a law school fair two weeks ago, but don't hold me to that. I was sorta running around like a chicken.
6 schools for sure. Might add more to negotiate scholarships with. I would blanket the T14, but I really want to stay on the east coast. I'll probably apply to any schools of interest I get a fee wavier too as well.
Yeah i was thinking of blanketing the t14 but since im taking the lsat in december i dont have that many fee waivers, im hoping that i will still get some waivers
Does your LSAC GPA need to be calculated in order for them to send fee waivers? One of my transcripts haven't been sent yet and I'm wondering that's why I haven't been getting them
Also a few schools that I was interested had information on fee waivers on their websites. So I’d suggest starting there first - search the website for “fee waivers”, then if nothing comes up, send a short and sweet email.
Though I'm not sure what they'd lose by offering the waiver. If they were really scared that such candidates would reject them (and affect their stats negatively), they could just reject them or wait list them after they applied.
All I know is I seem to get the cold shoulder from the west coast in regards to everything (job offers, phd programs, and now fee waivers). I don't know what I did to make them so upset :-p
@seth.reid @shicks220 It is confusing to me...I have fee waivers from schools like Columbia but not BU? I can't figure out how these schools determine who to grant them to.
Update: I been getting fee waivers from schools that I didn't sign their sheet but that were there. Email basically says "Thank You for attending the NYC forum".
