In my opinion, you do not need to take a waiver. Waiver is required for those who are subjected to 2 year rule (which will be clearly mentioned in the J1 visa stamp). If your visa stamp says like...'not subjected to 2 year rule'..you do not have to worry about it.
Good luck!

Olivia, why are you asking again? What is unclear with our answers (http://boards.immigration.com/showthread.php?t=184388)? If you are not sure if you are subject to 2-year home residence requirement, you can apply for 'Advisory Opinion' form U.S. Department of State. You can explain your research and send copies of all your IAP-66/DS-2019 forms to U.S. Department of State. Read also the following sites
