How long does it typically take schools to make a decision after a new LSAT score is posted?
How long after a school is notified of a new LSAT score do they usually notify applicants of a decision? I am on the wait list at my top choice school; the rest of my apps are on hold until February's score posted, so I assume they haven't yet reviewed it and would likely take longer from these schools to receive a response. Can someone enlighten me on the time frame I can expect a response for the wait list school and others? Would it expedite the process if I also notify my top choice that my new score has been posted and that I would like them to review my app again? Or will they likely review my app automatically upon receipt of the new score?

I called LSAC and they said that the only option was to send an email to accommodations. Having the test scheduled over two days is considered an extra accommodation. I also have start and stop the clock breaks, so my test could potentially be longer than 9.5 hours. I am concerned that LSAC won't get back to me in time. In more ridiculousness... I talked to the testing center and they will not allow me to bring in more than a snack for my exam. They said that unless it is expressly stated on my accommodations letter, I will not be allowed to bring in lunch or dinner. So... 9.5 hours (9 - 7:30), LSAT, only a snack??? Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can expedite a response from LSAC? If you count Friday as a business day, they have 6 days to respond. Thats not a lot of time.
I had the same issue for the September LSAT, except I was not given as many breaks. LSAC did not allow me to take the test in 2 days because that additional request was done after the time period for requesting accommodations had passed. In short, I took the test in September with my gallon size zip lock bag packed with a ton of snacks and registered for the December test with testing over 2 days as a requested accommodation. In my experience having been in the same situation, there is no way to expedite a response from LSAC (I both called and emailed and it took almost two weeks for a disappointing response). However, I wish you luck on your test!
