Also underperformed my PTs. (Basically all except the diagnostic.) RC was totally my downfall. Proud of my performance otherwise, but my overall score means I need to keep at it for another try. As the song goes: 'See you...in September...'

Does anyone know the latest they would send out scores? This is brutal.
At this point you are at the mercy of a server running a script. Mass email and database updates are an unfortunately slow process. But there isn't a human behind the process at this point, so there is no latest time. Just, when the script gets to you it gets to you.
So, @Mitchell-1 , maybe you can shed light on this: Would it have been possible for them to send out all the e-mails at once?

Totally possible, but sending out thousands of emails at once can be a very demanding process. Since everyone would inundate the site at once when the email hit, it's best to stagger out the release instead so the actual LSAC website doesn't go down.

Emails? No. They need to be sent one at a time and you are at the mercy of your servers upload speed. Now, there is likely a way they could update the database behind the scenes and flip a switch that allows everyone to access their scores on the site all at once.
Now, given the amount of people who take the test, the emails should not take THIS long. My assumption is they designed this in such a way to avoid everyone downloading the PDFs all at once. Spreading out access guarantees some stability for everyone. If that's the case though, they could easily get around that by releasing the scores and slowly doling out access to the PDFs.
As was mentioned earlier by someone, this is a tried and true system. It's probably been around for a while and no one would be willing to risk a catastrophe by trying to improve it.
aww no don't say that. Just know that regardless of what the score is both of you know your stuff. It's not a guarantee you will always score your average but it makes it more likely that either this time or the next you will get it.
I scored a 173, want to hear a miracle story, I completed 23 of 27 reading comp, I got all 23 right and guessed at the remaining 4 and got 3 correct. I didn't finish the last LR section, I had three remaining and guessed. I got 2 of 3 correct I swear to god, I thought I would miss all of those...
Thanks guys, It was fun waiting with you all, if any of you are in Texas I may see you.
Trying to decide what is the cut off where I give up and go to bed...if that's even possible. Also, is this normal? I thought I'd get at 8 by the latest.

No scores in Alabama
This is brutal.
still waiting..........................................
Yo guys, I'm really happy for you, I'll let you celebrate, but Beyonce took one of the best LSATs of all time! One of the best LSATs of all time!
Are they going to release all of them tonight?
Do you think this will carry on to tomorrow? I hope not!
Still waiting, and that confirmed -9 curve isn't making the wait any better :X
I WANT MY SCORE
Also underperformed my PTs. (Basically all except the diagnostic.) RC was totally my downfall. Proud of my performance otherwise, but my overall score means I need to keep at it for another try. As the song goes: 'See you...in September...'

Maybe their server crashed? I wonder if they have staff working overnight tonight.

They could just load the scores to their webpage like the MCAT does, or the GRE. But whatever. They can torture us more this way.

That would be horrible. I wonder when we'd find out about that.
For what it's worth, geographic region/state/country doesn't matter much. It's entirely random from what I've gathered. Stay strong!
But I feel weak
is there a chance some of us wont get our scores today?
aww no don't say that. Just know that regardless of what the score is both of you know your stuff. It's not a guarantee you will always score your average but it makes it more likely that either this time or the next you will get it.
Anything's possible. I just wish I heard of someone who has gotten his score in the last little while.
I'm waiting on mine. I did notice the projected date was updated to today.
I keep refreshing I really hope we all get it by tonight. My anxiety is too high to last another day waiting!
Still waiting..
Nothing .....

I'll hit 5hours grey in 15 minutes... ???
Same! At least there are others in the same boat... Hang in there!
I got my score 15 minutes after going grey, my friend who is in Vegas with me got his almost immediately upon going grey.

Zilch
I know they said there is no rhyme or reason, he is from Indiana and I am from Texas.
Nothing
Lets storm the lsac center
@dan_reynolds I hate you, but I'm happy for you. #conflictedemotions
I use to be an explosives expert
Shots fired. Pun intended.
So, if I still don't have a score tomorrow, does anybody know of a number to call at LSAC? I'm dying here
I am sure you will have a score in the next couple of hours, unless they are having a malfunction
Finally... Best of luck to the rest still waiting!
Trying to decide what is the cut off where I give up and go to bed...if that's even possible. Also, is this normal? I thought I'd get at 8 by the latest.
Nothing yet. I am so anxious. Praying for a miracle.
Are they still sending scores???? Or will we carry on tomorrow?
Just got mine like 5 mins ago.
I jumped up 7 points from my highest ever PT and got my dream score, amazing
congrats, I got my dream score too. I was incredibly lucky, it could have been a 167 if I hadn't guessed correctly.

Nada 2
Just posted. Good luck guys!
If it helps, I have still not received an email. Check your lsac account, those are definitely the first available point of access
Hang in there! Scores are still rolling out - I was one of the last for Sept email & have to admit it was brutal on the nerves but it will happen
Just got it. Time to retake. Ugh
