Is the only way to access r_fullprofile by applying for LinkedIn partnership after the new API policy?

My application is currently using it for fetching the users "Skills" which requires r_fullprofile instead of r_basicprofile.

Would I need to do any changes regarding the new policy if I only used r_basicprofile?

As per LinkedIn's documentation, "skills" fields are only available under the r_fullprofile member permission (https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/fields/full-profile) when making an API call to request member data.

After May 12th, 2015, apps will no longer be able to request this member permission without being specifically reviewed by LinkedIn for compliance with the Apply with LinkedIn use case (https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/apply-with-linkedin) or some other partnership program membership which grants access to that permissions.
