What good does a fee waiver do if we've already turned in applications?  I'm using LSACD-Web, so will they refund my credit card or anything?  And which school was the "some school"?  I'm very intrigued now...   I figured the law forum would be kinda lame in LA because of the November thing, but figured it'd be worth going anyway just in case.  But if I get even one waiver, it's totally worth going to the forum for $60

the people who signed up for the nyc forum last year got a waiver for william and mary, but you had to apply on paper and send in a copy of the email they sent...

Thanks for the info, jas!  I wonder if West Coast schools will offer something like that for the LA Forum...  Specifically, schools to which I'm applying

I went to the one in NYC last September and it was a mob scene.  There is a pretty slim chance you will get to talk to anybody much less get near the table for brochures, but they do take note of your attendance by collecting badge numbers at the tables, and I remember some applications asking whether I attended any forums (or fora), so I'd say it's worth it.

[gooooooo]

Fleck, what time did you show up?

[flecktone]

I don't really remember, but it was probably around 2-3 pm.
