@ That's straight BS! I called that number as well and I believe I went to test registration. I would cite that you have proof about others being able to register successfully after the deadline due to the nature of the date change. Also cite how the deadline didn't change accordingly on their website in a timely manner, and a result, you had the date marked as the 30th. There should be no reason why they don't let you register. If someone is giving you a hard time, request to speak to someone else. Keep calling until you find someone that doesn't have a stick up their ass. As a last resort, threaten to file a formal complaint, as they are not allowed to arbitrarily enforce a policy while making exceptions for others. I'm so sorry to hear you are having trouble.

@ @ @

I was in the same boat last week. I missed the deadline by two days because I never knew they changed the date, and LSAC, unsurprisingly, did a horrible job of making this known. I think they know this and are being pretty lenient as a result. I called Friday afternoon and simply told the woman on the phone, "Yooo I'm freaking out because I had no idea LSAC changed the registration date." She said, "Well we don't want you freaking out because that isn't healthy, so let's go ahead and get you registered for November."

Granted, I had to wait on the phone for an hour, but once I got through it took two minutes to register. So don't stress guys! I think you're good! If they give you a hard time, tell them you weren't able to register until late September due to financial reasons or something like that.

@ THANK GOD!!!! My stomach just dropped to the floor. I literally felt doomed. Best of luck to you going forward!

@ Please let me know if they make an exception. This is horrible news as I planned on taking November

@ Then give him your advice by advising him not to write an addendum. Your previous comment wasn't suggesting that. It was unproductive and negative. Thousands of practicing attorneys scored lower than mid-150s on their LSAT, so suggesting this person cannot pass the bar exam because they struggle with standardized testing is simply unnecessary. I hope you see where I'm coming from. This is supposed to be a supportive discussion forum.

@ This person took the LSAT and scored above average, which you seem to be forgetting is also a standardized test. The fact that you even feel inclined to go out of your way to say something like that forces me to consider whether you will pass the bar or even make it that far. Get off this forum and go work on your LR.

As for @-1, I'd say it really depends on where you plan to apply. If you are sitting below the median for a particular school it may help your case, but I wouldn't fret over it too much. At the end of the day, such an addendum would likely have little, if any, impact on your admission outcome.

Thanks!

I am also interested in working in the public policy realm. I'm curious--considering you have experience in this space already--how you see a JD contributing to your career path in public policy? I know this may seem obvious to you. However, on a podcast I was recently listening to, the host was challenging the notion that having a JD is essential to having a successful career working in public policy. She went on to say that potential law students ought to think deeply about this before committing to law school and suggested that an MPP may be a better route. I was a little surprised with her response, so I'm curious if you have any thoughts? Also, I would love to hear more about what kind of policy work you are involved in.

@ For sure! We are just getting started! Glad to hear you are making improvements though, that's encouraging. Get after it! & @ same goes to you!

@ My speed is killing me with logic games right now. I'm definitely making improvements though, I can tell I just need to keep fool-proofing so I pick up on the inferences faster. I am most confident that I can improve on LG within the time frame. As for taking a timed PT, I've been practicing timed sections then immediately doing BR the last two tests. It's been really building my confidence for a full PT because much of what I'm doing now is overthinking and not focusing. Honestly, I just need to learn how to relax when I'm timing myself and everything would be fine.
