"Beads and Gold" and "Homophones" are real

I emailed the NYU Admissions Office and received the following response:

Those taking the December LSAT will be considered for our programmatic scholarships as long as the online JD application and all other supplemental scholarship materials are submitted by the January 1st deadline. LSAC will automatically update your file with your December LSAT score once it is released.

If you have submitted all required components of our application and have at least one reportable score on file, your application will be considered complete and will be automatically forwarded to the Committee on Admissions for review. If you are registered for a future LSAT at the time that you apply to the JD program, this future test date will be visible to the Committee. It is at the discretion of the Committee to determine whether or not to proceed with a review of the application for additional information such as a new LSAT score. Any information you submit, including material sent after your application is complete, will be considered by the Committee on Admissions if received before a final decision is reached on your application.

Applicants who not applying for our programmatic scholarships and are just applying for admission to the JD program must submit their completed applications no later than February 15.

I had the same question.

@ Thanks so much for sharing.

I am in a very similar position as you. I studied for 7-8 months for the September LSAT. I scored between 167-174 on my last 10 PTs. But I got a 164 on the real test.

I felt really nervous after writing the test. I only got 3 hours of sleep the night before because I was so anxious. Even though I didn't feel too tired that morning, I was worried that I had made a lot of stupid mistakes due to the inadequate amount of sleep. I ended up losing the most points on LG. LG is my strongest section, and that particular LG section was super easy, but I made a lot of small inadvertent mistakes on every game.

I'd be interested in hearing about any techniques you have developed to reduce stress. I do not want to allow anxiety to ruin my test performance in December!
