Should have been on your initial application information from when you applied to sit for the exam.

Mine is the 3rd and I am out of state.

I can't find it in my emails where they specified the 3rd dept. I think it was on my application when I submitted it through the BOLE website. But every certificate form I had to send in, they always pre-printed the Albany location. Also, I called when submitting my final application just to make sure and they said the 3rd. It's a quick 2 minutes phone call. Just give them your BOLE #.

I am third as well. But the reason why I ask is, the person I spoke to said not to send anything until we receive an email end of March. They need to first have the lists of people who took the bar so they can place the documents in the right place. I'm waiting on that..... ahhh so frustrated :evil: Even worse not having the results.

I posted this in the other forum - but to keep it together -

"This paragraph is applicable only to applicants who have taken the New York State Bar examination. In
the Second, Third and Fourth Judicial Departments, the application papers required by these instructions may be
filed at any time after you have taken the Bar examination, regardless of whether or not the results of the Bar examination
have been issued. In the First Judicial Department, the application papers may be filed only after you have
received notification that you have passed the examination and have been certified to the First Judicial Department."

UPDATE - I just called the third and she told me the same thing that you said. I read her the instruction information verbatim, she said I should contact BOLE... Umm no. How about you all get on the same page and you call them. :roll:

I don't feel feel confident at all. I'm a wreck. I can't go home and just sit with my anxiety so I drink some wine and that's fine but then I sleep terribly and wake up exhausted the next day for work, where I am like an anxious crackhead all day chugging redbulls to keep my hungover ass awake. I'm supposed to visit a friend this weekend but I don't know if I can, my anxiety levels are too high. I just wish I could sleep through the whole weekend.

Can someone put me in a coma until the results come out?

It's rough. I've been walking a little more when I can. I'm not feeling good about my performance on the MBE or the written portion of the CBX. Already looking into travel plans for July. I was talking with a friend who asked if I at least knew where the graders are in the process. When I explained that applicants have no idea where in the process the graders or nor do we know what the rubric they're using looks like, he thought it sounded like some kind of scam. He could be right.

Read a book. I'm reading Presumed Guilty by Jose Baez. Good read. I think his client is innocent. Didn't think that when I started.

Hang in there. And switch to mimosas. At least they have juice in them.

So twisted. I've gone from feeling reasonably confident, to flip-flopping on a day-to-day basis, to now being convinced of and preparing myself for failure most days.

Almost there, though.

for q1 i think it was whether there was a valid trust. I literally wrote 3 sentences...
Q2 and 3....what was it? don't even remember, but I know I mixed something reference and did a random family tree. I am SOOOOOOO off.

Look guys. We have to think positive and interpret positively every situation in order to survive this wait. For instance, if we combine the four of us we get a happy & persistent superhero dressed in a black cape who is perfectly capable of drowning his/her bar exam failure in liquor (or celebrate his/her success) half-price. Cheers! :mrgreen:
