UF Law offers merit-based fee waivers to candidates who meet or exceed both a 159 LSAT score and a 3.50 undergraduate GPA. Invitations to apply to UF Law using a merit-based fee waiver are emailed to those candidates who are registered for LSAC&rsquo;s Candidate Referral Service and meet the above criteria.&nbsp;UF Law will waive the $30 application fee for candidates who received an LSAC Fee Waiver. The $30 application fee will automatically be waived for both LSAC fee-waived candidates and CRS merit fee-waived candidates upon submission of the online LSAC electronic application.</p>

<p><strong>CHECK YOUR CREDIT BEFORE APPLYING FOR FINANCIAL AID</strong></p>

<p><strong>CREDIT CHECKS</strong>&nbsp;before applying for financial aid.&nbsp;&nbsp;You should always check your credit reports before applying for a loan.&nbsp;Identity theft is a serious problem, and you don&rsquo;t want your plans to be foiled because someone has been using your name and social security number to open up accounts in your name and possibly racking up debt in your name as well.</p>

<p>The Federal Trade Commission provides information about credit reports.</p>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me

         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
