Given the circumstances, I can understand where the Original Poster is coming from. We should show some empathy in circumstances like this, while he may not be in the right and Heart Shaped Box has every right to not give him his money back, the OP has some legitimate excuses. Wife who presumably works on the front lines got sick while COVID was starting and he has two young kids. I can't imagine being a father in times like this with a wife who works on the front lines suddenly becoming ill and having to worry about my children.
The last thing on my mind would be the LSAT. OP may not have been right, but in my opinion and given the circumstances; I think many tutors out there would have refunded him the amount less the one session given. Compare this to air line, hotels, booking companies having to refund people back there money even though they have strict policies in place that do not require them by law to refund people back there money (if you were like me and had summer plans and booked a non-refundable ticket/reservation, you likely got it back in the form of a voucher or full refund). Most businesses are doing it because it is the right thing to do. But to each their own I guess.
And is all this really worth the $100 and change to deal with?
Reddit, Lawstudents.ca, top-law-schools, etc have generally negative advice and comments for people seeking help. Such as "you can never improve from a 130, might as well just quit".
Glad to have found 7Sage the best forum and community of all!
Wondering what everyone's thoughts are on this?
I am still in beginning stages of my studying. When I did a test a few weeks ago, I went for quality over quantity. That meant trying my best to answer the questions in front of me, like @ said, the first 10 to 15 questions were easier than the rest. I was able to complete 12 to 14 questions on both LR sections and only managed to get 1 wrong out of the 26 that I was able to answer. You might see some results if you do this on your next PT.
When you hit your LSAT goal score, when your applications are in, and when you finally get accepted.
What do you do after, especially if you finish in lets say the early months for the next cycle admissions.
Hey Everyone,
Starting to fool proof logic games and have a few questions:
For example, when you read a question and you already know in your head that the answer is C. Do you go through the motions to confirm C?
Look forward to your responses.
There are now new rules to this:
3 times is the max you can take in a testing year (testing year is June 1st to May 31st)
you can only take a max of 5 tests in the current and last 5 testing years
you can only take a max of 7 tests in your life time
@ said:
lmfao how does this have so many likes.
Your analogy to the multi billion dollar travel industry is ludicrous. Remote tutoring doesn't expose one to covid. The individual tutor is not worth millions of dollars and can't rely on a big bailout. Most of the companies offering cancellations require some notice, which the OP did not give. And, you completely ignored the time frame in question.
$100 isn't much, but I hope the tutor does't refund it. OP seems like a serial Karen that complains until he gets his way. Refunding him would reward his tantrum.
I actually think the analogy is more than fair. OP and his tutor did not have a contractual agreement in place, while in my analogy the many people who enter into a contractual agreement with companies enter into one with non-refundable air fare, hotel bookings, and car rentals. These companies did not have to offer a full refund or voucher, but they have done so because it is the right thing to do.
Also, since OP and his tutor didn't enter into a written agreement on the specifics on how the money was to be allocated. It can be argued that Heart Shaped Box did not provide a service and therefore is questionably withholding OP's money for services yet to be rendered.
