I am amazed at how quickly things are moving now. I also received my packet today in Northwestern PA. I am grateful to be on the pass side. Congrats to everyone who received the good news. Those of you who didn`t make it this time will surely make it in February. If you need any help PM me.

Not yet, but I'm out of the state so I doubt I'll get mine before anybody else. I'm really curious too because -- in my anxiousness during our day 1 lunch break and night -- I went through every topic with my friend and self-graded my made up rubric on how I thought it would turn out. I needed to see an objective evaluation to calm my nerves for day 2. It also served as a way to say "here's the worst that can happen." Considering the scores have now been released alongside the essay topics being released (and the fact that I made all of the scoring and topics up -- which still might be wrong) I think this is fine to post now.

Here is what my rubric looked like: http://imgur.com/JO9qK7n

I wonder how it will compare.

Got my scores down in North Carolina today. 137.6 MBE scaled score and an 85 Raw essay and a 139.127 Scaled Essay, for a total score of 277. Whew, was that a close call.

Here is how my essays compared when broken down (my guesses vs. actual, all out of 20):

PT: 15 vs. 15
Essay #1: 16 vs. 13
Essay #2: 11 vs. 11
Essay #3: 18 vs. 15
Essay #4: 11 vs. 15
Essay #5: 11 vs. 9
Essay #6: 13 vs. 7

Last essay was my worst too (9). I bet a lot of people ran out of time. I was surprised to see the Corps issue worth 10 points. I hardly spent any time studying that topic, and had to bs that issue. Congratulations on passing. Every point matters on this ridiculous test.

Last two were my worst (8 on essay 5, 10 on 6) as well, though I actually had no time problems at all. Also had to BS the Corps issue haha, which doesn't surprise me because it was one of my weaker subjects.

152 mbe scaled and 151 scaled essay..total of 303

arglebargle · Post by **arglebargle** » Tue Oct 13, 2015 7:17 pm

I don't understand the math. MBE: 157, PT/Essay: 150, Total: 306.

My essays range from 9 to 17 raw.

Whatever. I passed with plenty of room. C&F is done.

Lacepiece23 · Post by **Lacepiece23** » Wed Oct 14, 2015 10:49 am

Didn't receive my results packet yesterday. Does that mean that I failed C&F?

Pretty sure the website says they mailed everyone's, so I doubt it. Just means slow mail.

Nope, I have a friend who got his results and it just did not include the certificate recommending admission (he is waiting on some C&F documentation).

Speaking of scores, I was surprised how wildly close my scores were: MBE = 164.2 / Essay = 164.1.

Did anyone receive their license and bar id in the mail yet? I sent mine in last Tuesday from my firm's office in Dallas, TX. Eager to get my license so I can pro hac into some cases we are working on. Someone from PA please post when you receive your license, as mine will be a few days behind. Thanks.

They told me that I am admitted once I handed in my notarized oath. I walked mine down, and they gave me a card with my Id number. A few days later they sent me a letter saying that I am officially licenses and my official card will come in the mail in a few weeks.

RyanPhillips · Post by **RyanPhillips** » Tue Oct 20, 2015 10:06 am

I wonder if they will send the unofficial card in the mail then since I didn't walk mine down. When did you receive the letter in the mail?

They literally just wrote my bar number on a piece of paper. Your bar number was on the sheet that you sent in.

SportsFan · Post by **SportsFan** » Wed Oct 21, 2015 3:28 pm

...Am I crazy or was there a post here saying that you could call the prothonotary's office and get your bar #? I didn't save a copy of the paper I mailed in or anything, so could someone post or PM me their phone number? I think my job wants the number next week so I guess I should call and get it haha.

Lol I'm not THAT dumb, just wanted to make sure they didn't give us a different number for bar application questions or whatever. Ya never know.

arglebargle · Post by **arglebargle** » Wed Oct 21, 2015 6:21 pm

You can call the prothonotary in Pittsburgh. They'll tell you whether they received your motion, whether it was accepted, tell you your date of admission, and give you your bar number over the phone.

SportsFan · Post by **SportsFan** » Fri Oct 23, 2015 9:04 am

Ended up calling yesterday afternoon and got the letter in the mail with my number and date of admission 5 minutes later, because of course.

For those who sent in their forms and have received their letter back, around how long was the turn around between putting it in the mail and getting the letter? People at my firm are starting to ask how soon I will be officially admitted.

I mailed last Wednesday. My admission date was this Monday (the 19th), and I received the letter back yesterday.

FYI everyone: when I called to get my atty #, she gave it to me and then said, "just like on your certificate."

So if it's helpful: your atty number is on your recommendation certificate. It is the middle number in the top left corner series of numbers (i.e. "No. xxx-YYYYYY-xxxx" it is the "YYYYYY"

Bumping this thread for Feb 2016.

caveman2 · Post by **caveman2** » Sun Mar 20, 2016 12:07 pm

Based on past release dates, Pennsylvania appears to release February results on the sixth Friday after exam week, meaning it's very likely that results will be posted April 8th this year. Less than 3 weeks away
