I took an LSAT prep-course from a company called Blueprint. It's about a 3-month class and it was a huge help. I highly recommend it. As for the fee-waivers, the schools just sent them (I believe its because they saw my lsat score). Good luck with the admissions process.

How did Northwestern have the audacity to waitlist you? I guess they don't like us Californians. Not that it matters much for you, since you're prolly going to Harvard. Congrats!
