GP, can you please explain more about these fee waivers? They were sent to you by law schools, or by the LSAC? I'm re-applying to several schools and applying to a few more schools after not getting in anywhere last year. It's going to cost me at least $300 in application fees alone...
Should I contact the schools and explain that I have no money, or what?

I got them from schools pretty randomly - I requested information packets from some schools after getting my first LSAT scores (I retook) and some enclosed fee waivers with the guidebooks. Other schools sent me the guidebook and sent me a fee waiver later. Some other schools just randomly sent me fee waivers.
When you register to take the LSAT (or sign up with LSAC) you can also register with the Candidate Referral Service (CRS) on their website by filling out the info with the CRS bubbles next to it. I did that, and that's how some of them got my information. It appears from talking to friends that they sent fee waivers to people with a score of about 160 or higher that said they were interested in attending school in that state.
There are also fee waivers for financial hardship, and there is more information on how to get those on the LSAC site.
