I agree with what is being said here. I received my Columbia waiver on the 7th, which is not even a week after the test date (2nd). I do as well find it unlikely that they can grade our scores that soon, but I just think it is weird that they sent the waiver in December when my only score in LSAC profile is from September.

Is it possible for law schools to see the scores before they come out?

Yes, but only slightly and it is not so much that the schools see them as that the candidate referral service sees them and sends fee waivers based on them.

So you are saying, CRS sends list of students to law schools based on the schools' request without disclosing the scores before the release date? (like above certain LSAT scores)

I'm saying that I don't know how exactly it works(probably something like that). However, I know what the effect is. Batches of people do sometimes get fee waivers a couple days before the score release which only seem to make sense with a high score. They then all recieve a high score.

It's not worth reading into too much though since fee waivers are sometimes also given out to people with scores significantly below median and people with high scores can be overlooked.

We can only tell for sure whether it was a high scoring fee waiver batch in hindsight. So you might as well focus your stress on grey day.

If that were the case, in this instance, the LSAC would have released the scores to the CRS 6 days after the LSAT and to schools 26 days before the official release date. This seems unlikely to me.

It's much more likely that the school can see who has them in their shopping cart, who has expressed an interest, signed up on a website, been to a forum, or something like that.

I'm not here to argue that the schools/CRS get the scores early. I'm just here to remind everyone that in this case it seems extremely unlikely. Don't let it get you down if you didn't get one from Columbia.

I think you are entirely right. The scores can't be the basis of any fee waivers before the tests are even graded.

Even in the couple days before the score release when it is plausible, it is not a possibility worth stressing about due to the difficulty of interpreting what the fee waivers from various schools mean.

Is it possible for law schools to see the scores before they come out?

It was a MBF question, I think? Actually you know what, I have no idea lol. I gotta stop worrying about how I did...God help me please.

Did anyone remember one of the LR questions that was like "which is the LEAST likely to be disproved/rejected/something like that"? Please say that was experimental bc I've never seen a question like that

That was experimental. My experimental was "which is LEAST like the reasoning above?" So that was an interesting take on a parallel reasoning question... I wish that experimental LR counted though. It was so obviously easy compared to the other two. This test's LR was pretty tough.

I think they are talking about another question. It wasn’t parallel. The stem was like “which of the following is least likely to be rejected based on the reasoning above?” Or something like that. It was like a MSS question in disguise or something. I remember reading that stem and thinking “wtf?” But I can not remember the topic at all.

Haha I have no clue, I don't even remember a Greek play question :wink: my poor memory of this test just doesn't work rn.

Ohhhhhhhhh, yeah! The Greek one was kind of like a "MSS/CBF" type thing haha. That one was real!

Does anyone remember an LR question about people saying "I am in pain"?

hmm.. doesn't ring a bell. do you remember any other part of the question?

Hi guys,

Does anyone who had only 2LR sections remember the question about parents' responsibilities to their children? I think it was a PSA question.

Thanks!
