I'm out-of-state, though still in New England, hoping I get them in the mail by Saturday, or else it's logging online and CTR+F for my name, while having a heart attack.

Why don't they just post online on Friday, too, instead of freaking us all out with anticipation?

I agree. I'd just like this process to be over with.

This wait has consumed me completely. I am at work, but I cannot seem to shake this burning anxiety off my head. This job that I am working as of October literally depends on this bar exam result. When I say "literally," I mean that there is a section in my employment contract that adds that my continued employment depends on my passing the bar. So I am just really pissed that Massachusetts is taking this long to let us know. I mean pass or not I just want to get this anxiety over with. I want to move beyond this in one form or another.

I hope everybody feels the same? Despite the 90+% passage rate that my law school boasts, the remaining below 10% of test takers who fail do not give me comfort.

I feel the EXACT same way. I'm supposed to be making strides towards hanging my shingle but I literally cannot; kinda want to know if I passed or failed before I do anything substantial. I'm consumed with fear and doubt and anxiety over this process. I cannot take it.

If they can mail them "by the 24th" they should fuc*ing post online by the 24th as well.

I completely agree. I mean is it that difficult to upload the pass list online? Seriously, seems more difficult for them to literally stuff an envelope with a letter, glue the envelope, and send it. I think it should be post online first then the letter, so people who did not pass could just burn the letter and forget that this actually happened.

I love Massachusetts, but seriously.

Thanks tepper. I hope Massachusetts lives up to its name.

I say Passachusetts only with love.

Has anyone called for updates? I'm at work so I can't. Hoping to get in the mail before Friday.

StillNDC · Post by **StillNDC** » Wed Oct 22, 2014 2:13 pm

I'm not sure how much stock to put into this, but another forum poster called and confirmed that they were mailed today. http://all4jds.com/forums/aft/24261/afpg/2.aspx

tepper · Post by **tepper** » Thu Oct 23, 2014 6:50 pm

Folks, result out, I got mine in the mail today. Passed!!! ceremony will be held on Nov 20th. Good Luck to ALL!!

tepper. congratulations

I forgot to change my address and they are sending it to my old address and the forwarding time apparently takes significant time so I am yet to hear of my fate. but my sister (who took the MA bar with me) passed as well. but she told me the ceremony was on the 19th. so i guess there are more than one ceremony going on.

once again congrats. and i m so jealous that you are over with this.

Thank buddy!

Hang in there for a day or two, I'm sure we all did fine!

btw, just in case anyone wants to know, the mailing does not indicate what score the applicant received, it just says a "passing score". I guess we don't find out how many points we got if we pass.

Pass as well! My swearing in is the 25th, I think they are alphabetical. No way they can fit the same amount of people in Faniuel as there were in BCEC

Congrats! I wish my date is on the 25th, since I'm working overseas right now, so the later the better.
