Hawaii is the one school out of the 37~ I applied to that did not give me a fee waiver. They said they do not give out fee waivers to anyone unless they are vets or can prove some sort of financial hardship.
@john1roger , did you apply for the LSAC waiver? Even with that waiver, which is surprisingly the most generous of them all, they only cover 4 CAS even if you apply to all the schools. Still, it saves you quite a few bucks.
Contrary to what everyone has already posted, Alabama sent out a coupon code to pay the $45 CAS fee. It came with an application fee waiver. Shout out to Bama! So at least one school “pays” the report fee and I wish more would!
Have you received a fee waiver from nyu, Columbia, or upenn? Upenn's applications seems tedious and hard to be accepted for. And nyu and Columbia don't send out need based fee waivers
Glad to see everyone again! How r y'all doing? @NotMyName that's weird your LSAT is higher than mine but you didn't get a waiver from Columbia? I thought they gave waivers based on that.
It might be easier for you to reach out to the school to ask for a fee waiver than wait on them. My guess is that the fee waivers are sent after a score release, probably beginning Monday, but it might be best to reach out yourself.
I may potentially answer your question later today.
Does that carry any weight? Doesn't to me. If you're interested in attending the schools or potentially using them as leverage then consider asking for a fee waiver and apply.
Stay in the game. It sounds like you started studying somewhat recently. There are many more test dates this time around than in the past. Would they give you a fee waiver?
