Yayy thanks Dillon! Congrats everyone!

You've made a huge difference in my LSAT journey! Thank you for the wise words and always being so encouraging @ (3(/p)

I am so proud of you. I know how hard you’ve worked and how many difficult and brave decisions you’ve had to make. You truly deserve what you have achieved.

I’m just as, if not more, grateful to have you along my side on this journey. Thanks for encouraging me and pushing me to try things I might not have done otherwise. You’ve been an inspiration to me! All the random late night calls we had are probably my favorite part of this LSAT journey. Yes we commiserated - but we also somehow made studying more fun together.

Never thought I’d make such good friends through LSAT but I am so glad to have done so!

YAYYYYYYYYY I'm so happy for you Dan :D :D

Yayyyyyy all your hard work paid off! YOU DID IT!!!!!! I'm so happy for you!

At 6:46, I think JY meant October, September and August. I thought I had understood the question wrong for a second when I heard November lol

CAS doesn't expire for 5 years, and if you've paid LSAC for something, a test registration for example, it extends your expiry date. So you don't need to worry about losing your transcripts and letters. Whether you ask your recommenders upload now or later is up to you. If you'd rather have them finish the letter now, do it. If you'd rather wait until you're applying so you can inform them of any new things that have happened, wait. Some professors prefer writing the letter when you're actually applying though, so maybe double check that.

Thank god! Do law schools see that the recs were written a year ago/care about it? Thank you!

I'm not sure if law schools can see when the letters are submitted, but from what I've gathered so far from my research, it doesn't really matter that much. Don't worry :)

Yayyyyy Daniel! I've been waiting for this! :D

Thank you for sharing!

the power to teleport yourself to the exact same location.

I contacted LSAC and they said that the refund check will be mailed to you eight weeks after you take a real LSAT.

I contacted LSAC and they said that a refund check will be mailed to you approximately eight weeks after you take the LSAT (December LSAT in your case).

I'd keep it consistent to be on the safe side.

I did make sure to list New York as a state I was interested in. I did that for the states of all the schools I wanted to apply to.

Do you know how to update this info within LSAC? I am trying to figure it out now but so far, no luck.

EDIT: found it! nvm.

Could you please share where you found it? I've been trying to look for it on my account with no luck...

Congrats TP! You've been working so hard and I'm so happy all your hard work paid off!

@ Could you maybe post which PTs right before we start (so no one has the time to do the passages ahead of time) so that those of us that prefer to read on paper could print them out? If not, that's fine too :)

This is great! Thank you (3(/p)

If you’re still in undergrad, the prelaw advisor should be a good free resource to check over your PS. If you have good mentor relationship with a professor, that might be another option too.

Hey guys so I took the test in Canada. LSAC says that I should receive my results by email within 3 weeks (dec 23). But you guys are talking about receiving them in early Jan. Am I just being naive here believing that they would actually send them out in the 3 weeks when it actually always takes them 4 or? I am also considering taking the Feb test for a retake, as Canadian schools application deadline is already past so I’m committed to my application regardless of my score. The school I’m applying for does take the Feb LSAT though so I can redeem myself there if need be.

The official score release date is January 3 for Canada as well. Here: https://www.lsac.org/jd/lsat/test-dates-deadlines/2017-2018/us-canada-dec

There have been many instances in the past where Dec scores were released early and it can happen again, but LSAC isn't promising a date earlier than January 3.

Happy birthday Dillon! Thanks for all the help!

@ Thank you!

I just checked and found out that the registration deadline for the February 2017 test was December 21, 2016, so it would make sense for LSAC to give a full refund for those happy with their December scores. This time, the deadline for the February 2018 test is January 4. It seems like LSAC has deliberately made it so that the deadline is one day after the test score release date.

@ Could you please point me to where LSAC says we can get a full refund for February if we withdraw within one week of receiving December scores?

My memory might not be serving me correctly but I vaguely recall reading somewhere on the LSAC website saying that because the deadline for registering February is before the December score release, we can get a full refund after receiving our December scores. However, I just checked and realized the deadline for the February test registration is January 4, one day after the official December score release date.

Yes, generally speaking that's roughly when the test ends. There are, however, always exceptions so I wouldn't plan anything immediately after the test ends. The test is already stressful enough so you don't want to have to worry about staying on time for your next appointment.
