Even if it goes gray at over night, the scores will still be released in batches at random moments tomorrow. That wouldn't be the last minute. Also, your friend is assuming that LSAC has a vested interest to release scores tomorrow. Reality is, they do not. As such, any last second error will simply be met with further delay.Jarndyce&Jarndyce wrote:A friend just made an interesting observation that I am hesitant to share because it may keep you all up unnecessarily.

right, but they also nearly always release early.rebexness wrote:History says your friend is wrong.Jarndyce&Jarndyce wrote:A friend just made an interesting observation that I am hesitant to share because it may keep you all up unnecessarily.

LSAC nearly always releases around COB EST.

No.... just no.

Oh? I wasn't aware you knew him! Judging by your confidence, you must know what you're talking about! Please! Enlighten us.dusters wrote:No.... just no.

Relax people. Everyone's a bit stressed about getting our results back. Just chill out for now and don't bicker over trivial comments like these. Watch a tv show or do homework to kill time. We're almost there.Jarndyce&Jarndyce wrote:Oh? I wasn't aware you knew him! Judging by your confidence, you must know what you're talking about! Please! Enlighten us.dusters wrote:No.... just no.

On a more serious note, I didn't share his remarks as a definitive proclamation, nor did he. Just the opinions of another person who DOES in fact work for a mass testing agency on how things might proceed, considering they aren't exactly proceeding as they have in the past. I also said this person wasn't intimately familiar with this exam agency. To make this abundantly clear, as i'm sure you're having trouble connecting the dots, there's no claim of knowledge made by either myself or my anonymous compatriot. So, and do forgive the repetition, you, sir, have no idea what you're talking about.
Except that Law Schools will eventually get sick of LSAC's BS. And they are the ones who approve of this "Monopoly" at the end of the day.TERS wrote:LSAC has considerable market power; a reasonable definition of their market would demonstrate they're a monopoly. Not only that, demand for their good is incredibly inelastic. For at least these reasons, they have very little incentive to improve the quality of their service or keep its price low. If something goes wrong on the day of the release, they'll just delay distribution--and without considerable consequence.

Unclear as to why you capitalized and placed quotes around. Why will they eventually get sick of the BS?rebexness wrote:Except that Law Schools will eventually get sick of LSAC's BS.
