Absent from LSAT -- on my record? Forum

Hi all, I was absent from the LSAT last year (didn't withdraw in time either, last minute decision) -- will this negatively impact my record? It appears on my LSAC account and I'm wondering whether admissions councils look at this

Yes, they'll look at it. It probably won't affect your chances that much, if at all. Were you absent because you weren't prepped, or was there an issue that came up?

They look at it but I hear 1 absence isn't too bad (maybe even negligible), especially with LSAC's new policy of changing their withdrawal date to an earlier time.

Remember you can always say in an addendum that you got ridiculously sick on the morning of test day and couldn't make it out your door.

I had an absent and a cancellation on my record. I had a 168 and got into every school except one that I expected to get into and did not write an addendum.

Don't worry about it.
