Thank you note for what? Someone you meet at the LSAC forum? I would so no thank you note needed. They're doing their job and are talking to hundreds of people, so unless they do something particularly special for you, I wouldn't send a thank you note. These are mainly recent law graduates who do this on a semi-part time basis while waiting for their bar results, etc. (I almost did this job last year for my school). Many of them are NOT admissions office staff in that they actually work at the law school or have an office or ever check in there.

I never went to an LSAC forum, but I really don't know what information you can get there that's not already on the internet.

Kddani needs to be a PR rep for Jessica Simpson. She gives great advice!

Hey Danielle, my first advice I'd give Jessica Simpson is less proactive commercials and more showing of the chest

As a tour guide who has gone to forums for their school, no thank you note is needed. The only time I've gotten anything resembling it would be when I get a note that says something like

"Dear GP,

Thanks for giving me a tour and answering my questions about your school. I was wondering if you could tell me a little bit more about clinic. Also, do financial aid awards get mailed with admissions letters?

Thanks,
Prospie"

I'd be REALLY weirded out if I got a handwritten thank you note. An email would probably be okay but I still really don't think it's necessary.

So wait, people are only qualified to give advice on a particular subject if they have done or participated in said subject?

How long was it until you got the follow-up emails and fee waivers?

BTW: I'm fully aware that my incessant questions make me sound like a PNM hopped up on caffeine, and with that in mind I really appreciate everyone's patience with all of my questions and your experience.

Don't worry about it - the forum is here for questions, and applying can be a very frustrating process.

I started getting fee waivers within a month of taking the LSATs, and I got emails around the same time (probably from my LSAC file). I didn't go to any of the forums, though, so maybe people who went got the waivers more quickly

Some came about a month after I took the LSAT, and others trickled in throughout the application season. The ones that came from the forum generally came a week or two afterwards.

If you get a fee waiver after you've already applied to the school, you can call and ask to have your application fee refunded.
