Wasn't Blackman87 the one who wrote that blog? And this cycle really has gotten strange as hell. I have 2 AA male friends, both with 3.9+ GPA and 170 LSAT, one got into GW and the other rejected.

Naaa.. You're probably still in the mail (or UR). But, who knows, they didn't have a darn tracker. :evil:

Question: Is there any evidence that adcoms make/have made fake profiles on TLS? Sometimes I get PM's from folks asking for info and I'm wondering how circumspect I should be. Lol...

eh i was outed before, but I'm not sure if adcoms have an account. I typically don't answer PMs from people I haven't seen in the URM thread or one of the C/O 2017 threads.

Congrats on your acceptances!

I can't imagine adcoms making fake accounts and sending PMS to users, though some probably lurk.
im guessing many at least read their own "class of" thread

Makes sense. If I was an adcom, I'd go the whole nine yards. But hey... that's me. There are probably at least some imposters among us (TLS) :shock: .

Lol

Damn Jodie, someone had a good weekend. Congrats on all those acceptances!!!

In regards to fake profiles. I think LSAC def makes some, or at the very least hires ppl to scour the interwebz in search of ppl committing copyright infringement. I say this because ive been PMd twice from ppl asking for copies of LSATs I sat for. Both only had a one post history :roll:

I mean it could have been just a coincidence, but I'm convinced this person reads this forum and put two and two together. I will never know for sure because I will never ask this person.

Same. What's up with that?

How the heck would someone get the test before its released. My proctors were so ocd about counting how many booklets they gave out and how many were turned in. They even had numbers on sticky post to match to our names

He claimed to be a Feb test taker who wanted my Dec. test. LSAC does give you a PDF copy of the test you took, w/o the experimental of course, and that's what he wanted.

Last year there was this big scandal where a TLS mod was distributing copies of Test Masters material and TLS got sued for copyright infringement.
