[WaitingforNJ25]

8am on a Monday and 5 people already asked me if I got my result it's gonna be a long week

[Lawyerinwaiting89]

I had it in my head that it will be this week so if it's not until next week... The 12th... I'm gonna puke lol. I hate the uncertainty! Just announce a date so we don't get a panic attack every time we get an email notification lol.

[sdimo]

I feel like saying by may 12th is the standard line they're going to give. they want to give out the latest date so we don't harass them. who knows, the UBE might take that long for them to get in order, but I think it'll be wed-fri this week. i feel like i'm in denial. i no longer want to know. lol. going on vacation on saturday and i don't want it to be ruined

Here's what I figured out using websites and old threads:

2011
NY released Tuesday, April 26
NJ released Tuesday, May 3

seven days difference

2012
NY released Wednesday May 2
NJ released Thursday, May 10

eight days difference

2013
NY released Thursday, May 2
NJ released Friday, May 17

thirteen days difference

2014
NY released Thursday, April 24
NJ released Friday, May 9

fifteen days difference

2015
NY released Tuesday, April 28
NJ released Tuesday, May 5

seven days difference

2016
NY released Tuesday, April 26
NJ released Thursday, May 12

sixteen days difference

The average length of time between NY releasing and NJ releasing is 12 days.

2017
NY released Wednesday, April 26
12 days from the 26th is Monday, May 8th.

What it looks like is NJ won't release on a Monday or a Wednesday, only releasing on Tuesday, Thursdays, or Fridays. It looks like the following pattern emerged, based on release dates from 2011 to 2016: Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Friday, Tuesday, Thursday. It seems to follow that this year will be released on a Friday. If that's the case, then the release date could be either May 5 or May 12. Somebody above said the latest the results would be released would be Friday, May 12, but indicated that they would come out earlier than that.

Overall, my estimate is Friday, May 5, 2017

Got a letter from The nj bar and my heart stopped. It was from the c&F attorney saying I need to send in some document so that they can proceed with my application... zzzz false alarm

that has to be a good sign.. why would they be looking into your c&f if you had not passed?

I was thinking that too but I have no evidence they done that to other people before lol so I'll hold off on being optimistic

haha fair. either way i'd say it's probably coming by the end of this week then

I think that it's more than fair to be cautiously optimistic that you passed after receiving a personalized C&F email. It seems like a royal waste of time on their part to do that unless the applicant has passed. That said, who knows whether these attorneys are associated or privy to the exam results. I am a repeater (missed the mark by 4 points last time) and I never got any C&F inquiries. I haven't this time yet either. However, I also can't really think of anything on my application they'd want to follow up with me about or that I would need to supplement. I'm not sure what's normal in that regard but I didn't have any particular red flags.

Also, I'm still really hopeful that results come on or before Friday! (I'm still gunning for tomorrow)

Good luck, everyone!

Today is the day! I know it!

[jnro4]

I cant live like this anymore lol... I really do hope today is the day.... the other thing that's killing me is, does anyone have any idea of what time it might happen?? I keep thinking it'll be right in the morning when I wake up... but im guessing It'll be a totally random time in the day? Good luck everyone!

yeah that was me. we started getting emails around 3 (for last feb And last july) in waves, and results were posted on individual portals on the website. don't think it took longer than an hour-ish, prob because not so many people in NJ lol. My co-worker has a P-last name and wasn't too much longer behind my D last name

[B90]

Wow!
If the adage is true (and I believe it is) that "What doesn't kill us makes us stronger" then remind me to never go against an attorney licensed in NJ.
Seriously, you people must be super(wo)men.
Hang in there and stay alive!
I have my fingers crossed that you will be put out of your misery soon...

[Lawyerinwaiting89]

I keep wanting to try to apply for the next exam and see whether it lets me... I am so paranoid and am thinking of any way to game the system lol. But the final deadline has passed and my green apply button still appears active. Should I be concerned?! Ahh the agony is real haha.

I believe for those who do not pass, the deadline is extended like a week for applying within the cheaper time period, and extended the opportunity to timely enroll in the laptop program.... Hopefully it will not come to that for any of us!

AHH okay thanks. So just because the green button is there right now does not automatically mean that I failed? haha serious anxietyyyy

[jnro4]

for anyone who is in the first wave, please send a heads up that its coming. much much appreciated

[enjoysanxiety]

It angers me that seemingly nobody knows who these bar people are (aside from that one email mentioned above).

Who are they? What are they doing right now? Do they have twitter feeds? Is the release some sort of Mail Chimp e-blast set on a timer?

[Lawyerinwaiting89]

ahhh I had it in my head that it would be today but it's not looking likely now! damn these Bar Gods and their mind games. best of luck everyone
