Thanks for setting this up OP.

I'm looking to apply early, but suspect I'll be invited to the accelerated consideration so I want to wait on that. All my data is kind of old though (I updated my date, but I'm still scared of being overlooked)

Anybody get the invitation yet? If not will someone quote me when they get it?

I believe you can request a Priority Track application. I'd check the c/o 2019 thread to be sure, but IIRC I think I read that people were getting PT applications through solicitation. if so, just request one the day apps open.

Last year people were getting priority track invites on August 14th so there's that. I don't think you can solicit for PT though, I think that's invite only.

did you just send something similar to the standard fee waiver request email, or did you do anything special?

Good morning,

My name is specialsnowflake and I was wondering if (schoolname) offered merit-based application fee waivers, and if I would qualify for one. I recently received my October 2011 LSAT score of xxx. I graduated this past May with an LSDAS GPA of x.xx. My LSAC account number is Lxxxxxxxx.

Thank you for your help,

specialsnowflake
