Subscription pricing
I've posted about this before, but have hit yet another road block and need some advice on how to proceed.
Back Story:
I've sent one e-mail to the schools I applied to letting them know my transcripts would change after my CC sent the right one. The transcripts did change, just not accurately. So now there will be a SECOND change to the transcripts.
So this is where I am stuck, do I e-mail the schools again saying "oh sorry, something else is messed up now" or do I just wait for it to get completely resolved? (I have no idea how long that will take) Will schools just auto-reject me because of this? This is absolutely insane...
The diff in GPA is 2.83 vs 3.1x if it is done correctly.
This is absolutely killing me!

Progress is finally being made! I got to file a dispute form today. They are going to upload the dispute form onto my applications so all the schools can see what is going on. That way the schools can see that it is the LSAC at fault and not me while we continue to resolve this issue.
My heart goes out to you for having to confront and hop over all these obstacles; but I'm glad that progress is being made. I can only imagine how disheartening this might be. That said, I suppose this makes receiving an acceptance letter all the more sweeter.
To reiterate everyone's sentiment - hang in there! We're all rooting for ya!

yay! Finally some progress and a way to hold LSAC accountable. Are they able to see that you filed a dispute form? I'm guessing so..?
Yes, the schools will even get to read my complaint. They will see why I believe I'm right, and will get to see the LSAC's policies that prove I'm right. STILL hasn't changed my GPA though haha

YES!! That's what I'm talking about it! Getting so close. And if nothing else, schools can see what you are contesting and why, and that is at least half of the battle.
Great work! Hang in there, man.

Don’t feel bad for firmly communicating with LSAC employees.
I read somewhere that your law school application is your first case as a future lawyer. Your application is your case for why you should be admitted into x law school and you want to make sure it’s the strongest case possible. Advocate for yourself and do what it takes like you would for someone else. Sometimes it can spur a feeling of guilt to do so, but know that you’re doing what you have to do to effectively represent yourself.
Spivey is awesome! Glad they talked with you.

@pcainti665, Has anyone volunteered to write a letter to them for you?
I talked with Spivey consulting. They helped me out. Basically they told me that the LSAC it total crap. The schools know that they are total crap, and that I'm doing everything I can. He told me to wait it out, get my answers back from schools, and if nothing works out this cycle, we will work together next cycle to get me into a law school. That was at least comforting.

It’s pretty bad. I feel guilty for being annoying and a jerk. I feel angry because they don’t tell me what’s going on. I feel impatient because my apps are all waiting on it. It’s a mess...all I can do is spend half my day arguing with the LSAC and not accomplishing anything.

I don't actually mean you're crazy...but seriously do not let these people get the better of you. We are literally at their mercy when it comes to applying for law schools...the least they can do is their job.
I won't. I've just found out even more information that is complete BS based on what they told me on the phone. I was essentially lied to. Totally uncalled for.
They told me that my community college included special notes that I can't see on my transcript.
I called the community college and they told me that they do not include notes at all.
So there is that.

Don't let them win! Are you crazy. Also do not feel bad - I can't believe the person you actually got to speak to was ignorant to "where your frustration came from" is she serious? I'm not done with applications yet but I calculated how much money I will spend out at the end of the day. It's A LOT. They owe you the service of getting these things right.

@leahbeuk911, Yes, the free lawyer letter is a good idea if this needs to be done. @pcainti665, No worries. We feel your pain. Also, lots of stories about students going through the accommodations process were unfortunately similar to this.
FINALLY got to talk to someone. They were fairly polite - but I had lost it. She doesn't understand "where my frustration comes from." Even though they sent out an e-mail informing me that "everything was taken care of" only to find that it wasn't, I guess that isn't frustrating.
They are working on it. Funny thing is, this all hinges on a conditional statement that the LSAC used in their policy I guess.
Also, I feel completely terrible for being a pest to them. I feel guilty for being like this. I know I shouldn't, but I do.
I also might have to file a dispute with the LSAC.
I'm beginning to wonder if I should just give up on this all together and let them win.

@pcainti665 No need to apologize. I imagine we are the only ones who can truly understand your situation...we know the stakes and what it means to each of us. I can only imagine how this has been for you. Just hang in there and keep fighting.

@pcainti665 Dude I would be FREAKING OUT. Not only do the schools have to make admissions decisions, but scholarship decisions may be impacted too. I feel for you. At this point, all you can do is fight LSAC until you win. If they don't call you back today, I would seriously just not relent with the phone calls. I don't know if you have any friends/relatives that are lawyers, but maybe have someone do you a favor and sign a letter for you to send to LSAC to get their attention? Just an idea.
If I need to I will push it that far. This is absolutely outrageous. I'm asking for them to treat me like a human and let me know what is going on WITH MY LIFE. Instead I'm being black listed and ignored by them. I fear I've been impolite to a few employees there because of how out of hand this has gotten, I've had to calm myself down a few times already.
I've spent the past 7 years making up for my past. I joined the military, I got a 4.0 when I returned to school, I've gotten jobs in the field and volunteered, I studied for the LSAT for a year and a half. I have done EVERYTHING I could to make up for my mistakes. Just to have the LSAC put my entire life on hold.
I can't even express what I am feeling, and my family and friends just say "oh well"
Sorry to dump it on you guys.

@pcainti665, If you didn't get a waiver, maybe also politely mention that you paid them for these services.
I will, I've calculated exactly how much I've paid (over a grand)....I have a feeling they are not going to call today though. This is the most unethical thing I've ever seen or faced.

@pcainti665 Not sure where you live, but LSAC is located in Newtown, PA. If I were you, I would show up and refuse to leave until I speak to a supervisor who is going to make me a priority. In person results are almost always better than over the phone results.
I live in California. I've called every two hours for the past two days. I got them to finally commit to a time to call me back today. Hopefully this is resolved today.
Yea good luck... California is a bit far for an impromptu LSAC walk in. You just have to be that squeaky wheel that calls every 20 minutes every day until it's satisfactorily resolved.
That's what bothers me the most! If I am wrong, which I really don't think I am based on their policy, but if I am, take the freaking time to explain to me why. Don't leave me with vague answers, with no information and pray I will go away. I have literally put my life on hold for this, all 16 applications are not being reviewed, because I need the LSAC and CAS to do their jobs and explain the situation to me.
O_O
