Absence and Cancellation

Hi everyone! I have been studying for the LSAT on and off for 3+ years due to test anxiety/working full time.

In 2013, I sat for the test and cancelled my score. When September 2016 rolled around, I was ill the day of the test and couldn't make it, so I will have an "absence" on my record. I am scoring in the range I want to be in and hope to test in December, or February - though I don't want to miss another application cycle.

Long story short, I am very afraid schools will penalize me for my cancellation/absence and see this as a sign of flakiness.

Has anyone been in a similar position? Thank you!

    I have not been in a similar position, but I know of several people with cancellations on their record, and they were eventually accepted to schools that were in line with their numbers. So I don't think it is a deal breaker at all. Though, 2 cancellations may change the calculus a bit. I'll see what info I can find and report back when I do.
