This is the mediation I use:
Congrats!!
You are correct, your score does not define you! But if you can, try to get a better score to increase your chances of entry into law school. If you don't want to re-take, your personal statement should be award-winningly good. Perhaps hire a consultant to help you with it.
The same thing happened to me -- they said my test center was unavailable and then I was put on the waitlist after I requested that I still wanted that test center. They ended up emailing me a couple of weeks later (I believe about two weeks) and then said that the test center I wanted was available.
I would try not to stress too much. They may email you saying that they opened up more space in that test center in a couple of weeks, so until then, do not freak out.
@ yes, that's correct. I applied with my 2019 score of 148 to Southwestern for the 2022 cycle and was admitted. I chose to not attend and I am applying this cycle.
I got a 148 on my October 2019 LSAT and graduated with a 3.5 GPA (however, LSAC calculates my GPA as 3.6). I studied and studied but wasn't seeing a score increase and finally decided to apply this previous cycle.
I applied to nine law schools and got into two this previous cycle. I also originally got two rejections and five waitlists but I did not get off the waitlists. So yes, it is possible to get into law school with a score in the 140s! The fact that I was on the waitlists for some of these schools was surprising because they were top 100 law schools. One of the schools I got into was Southwestern. I applied to Southwestern in December. I put a lot of time into writing my PS and I think that that definitely helped out.
If I were you, I would not cancel the score but instead write an addendum explaining the issues you had with ProctorU.
