Hang in there friend! The road has twists and turns and you should certainly be proud of how far you have come. Some time off to clear your head definitely sounds like a good idea. Best of luck with the journey!

I just got my writing approved today and my score immediately afterward. I honestly recommend just keep calling LSAC until they relent. Not fun but that's what worked for me. Good luck and sorry about the wait, I know it's frustrating!
