I've had kind of a rough history with the LSAT. My first exam was in Jan 2021. In 2023, I took the exam 3 times (Jan, Aug, October) and then took it in January of 2024. Long story short, I really pressured myself to get a great score for the 2023 cycle and it backfired on me. For the Jan 2024 exam, I received some bad news about my grandma concerning her health before my exam and it severely impacted my performance.

I submitted an appeal to LSAC to register for the August 2024 exam, but they aren't reviewing appeals for the 2024-2025 cycle until registration for the August exam opens. Do I have a chance at getting my appeal approved?
