NY Bar Feb Exam: Support Group Forum

[Worthless1]

NY BOLE website updated to reflect UBE deadline. Webmaster has been called in. Results are coming. I say Monday 95%.

Still can fully register for July 2016 UBE exam....

Me too. God, I feel nauseous.

Are there people who took the Feb bar that can't register for the July UBE exam?

The webmaster has been called in.

The webmaster has been called in.

What does that even mean?

The webmaster has been called in.

Among the webmaster's responsibilities are updating the NYBOLE website with the latest information, uploading the pass list, and queuing up the e-mails that will be sent. Because the website has been updated with new information, there is reason to believe that the webmaster has been summoned.

I don't understand the rush. IF we have to reapply, we will have a seperate deadline.

If you're trying to sign up just to see if you CAN, I don't think this indicates any correlation to your results - remember last October when everyone was buzzinng about those ABA CLE emails that some people were getting? They had nothing to do with the results and I doubt that your ability to sign up has anything to do with it either.

[NYNY65]

Agreed. I don't think it's an indication of anything, especially since the general application deadline is next week. Not sure if that means being able to register after will be a tip or not, but I doubt they'll lock you out until everything is processed. Then again, maybe they already have everything processed on their end. Who knows? I know everyone is looking for something (anything!) right now, but I think patience is all you can focus on, even if that means being sick to your stomach. Soon enough!

@NYNY and @NM I was seeing attempting to see if I could register under the impression that if everything is processed, the system should somehow prevent me from registering for an exam that I already passed? But then again, why would the BOLE not jump at a chance to take my money and/or maybe everything isn't completed yet. You both are right though...the wait is excruciating.

[NYNY65]

Completely understand. Believe me, I've tried, too lol. At this point, I'm open to trying practically anything within the legal bounds to find out ANYTHING. Hate to admit it but there doesn't seem to be a way to pry even the slightest hint. Trapped for now.

[iwantmybar]

There is no hint.

Last october, like NM7 said, we were all debating regarding the CLE emails. Turned out it was BS.

I didn't even check if I could still register for july 2016 personally, it doesn't mean anything.

I'm deeply scared about the results, I think about it 10000 times a day but hell, I'm not worried in the slightest about the registration thing.

[Barslammer]

Let me put some tension to rest. It doesn't matter if you can register for the UBE. What if I wanted to admit to the New Hampshire bar. I can register for UBE in any state that accepts UBE and take the test. Having the ability to register has no bearing on your FEB 2016 bar result.

[Tritri]

Damn, the wait is killing me.

I'm in Europe, all my friends who took it again are in Europe. So on Tuesday morning (if the results do come on Monday, US time), when I wake up, it's just going to be my phone buzzing and a LOT of stress until i finally open the email.

Good look to all of you, foreign educated people, who are going to have a gorgeous or shitty day on Tuesday!

[NYNY65]

Any chance for 12AM 'tonight' for a Monday release or should I head to bed early and wait to sweat all day (hopefully not all week )?

[iwantmybar]

I think the results will be put online tomorow but at like 5PM or sth, not midnight.

I am so scared.

I remember when I failed last july I was like "damn at least two days ago I still had hope..no it's over".

good luck

I'd like to think that, as of right now, we all passed the bar. At least in this moment we have no reason to feel dismantled by some stupid test. As such, we should all have a good day. Tomorrow is another day and it's here not yet. All we have is right now, so let's enjoy it.

[texas2dclawchick]

I'm actually trembling thinking about the results coming out tonight, within days, within the week, it's coming and it's an impending doom that is a cloud hanging over me. I constantly have my email open in a tab, and I can't look at *anything* on the internet without seeing whether there's a (1) next to "Inbox."

When I failed in July, I fell into a deep depression and had to start taking medication for anxiety that I didn't realize I had for a long time and had only gotten worse. I didn't see my friends for a full month. I was isolated. The despair I felt was only compounded by all of my friends celebrating. Why would I want to go get drinks? I failed the bar. Why would I want to go to that music festival? I just failed the bar. Why would I think I deserve to go shopping? I just failed the bar. I just felt so undeserving. It was clear I made a huge mistake going to law school. Three years, 150k in loans, all for nothing. Immigrant parents that dreamed of their daughter becoming a professional lawyer; their dreams down the drain.

The medication helped, but then it seemed to make me sluggish, so I just went off of it this month. I couldn't even tell my parents I was on medication because they would have been heartbroken. I finally started to feel normal again, and it's like life is just moving on. But now this, the results coming, it's pretty much almost here, and it is going to happen. I'm actually just genuinely afraid for my mental health this time. It's been good for a while. I don't want that to go away. I don't know if I can handle it. Everyone at work knows I had to take the bar exam. Coworkers ask me whether I've heard back. I don't know if I can face them if I fail. I wonder if I should have put myself in this position in the first place, or postponed taking it the second time around, but I felt pressure from everyone around me saying it was basically now or never. I think it was because I have a job that doesn't require the bar exam. I didn't feel the NEED to take it again. Then again, I'm not getting paid much for what I do. and, honestly, I want to practice law. I need to practice law. I trained 3 years to practice law. I need to at least try the thing I worked so hard to master. What else am I going to do? What else am I going to use these memorandum writing legal analysis skills for? So I studied while working full-time. I studied for the test that I failed by giving myself less time to understand why I failed. Genius move on my part. I will not take the UBE if I fail New York again...It'll mean rethinking my future. Right? I mean the bar exam is made out to determine our future, isn't it? I wish I could fast forward to the day that this just doesn't matter anymore.

I also wonder if the NY BOLE realize the impact of this exam and what it can do to someone. I wonder if the graders take the time they should. I'm frustrated because I know they don't, and somewhere deep down, I hope that there's one good person out there to change this broken system that lacks transparency, that allows people who spent three years of their lives and countless dollars, sleepless nights, working hard, only to boil that down to one exam. An exam that most practicing lawyers agree doesn't even remotely represent how law is practiced. For a profession that hinges on the concept of fairness, it's quite ironic.

Sorry for the long post. I just need to let this out somewhere. I've been good about staying away from these forums since last July. I remember staying up that Monday reading the posts, and then reading the email as soon as it came, just before going to bed. Unfortunately, my plans to sleep that night also failed. I wonder if I'll be in the same exact spot I found out last time.

Anyways, I hope that it works out. I hope that if there's anyone else out there who feels this way, you know you are not alone.

If they release the results tomorrow- good luck to us all!!!

Results for Feb 2015 came out at 5 pm US time last year on Monday April 27. The same day the mpre was released. Good luck everyone I think today is the day.

[rntojd]

I have a feeling today is the day. Wishing everyone here the best of luck.

[NY_Sea]

Yeah, think today is the day as well... Definitely Wednesday at the latest. Good thing I'm swamped at work and can distract myself... I'll check in from time to time throughout the next day or so, but I just wanted to say that I honestly and genuinely wish the best for all of us. If it doesn't turn out the way we wanted, at least no one can tell us we didn't work hard.

I hope that we all hear nothing but good news shortly... I'm rooting for all of us.

A couple of years ago (Feb 2014 exam), someone accidentally got their bar results early by attempting to change his address at the BOLE website. The address change did not go through and instead the person got a message indicating that since he had already passed the bar, it is not necessary to change his address with the BOLE. I just attempted, and my change request went through. Sooo...
Either the glitch has been fixed, the results aren't in (as opposed to in and released) yet, or I failed. Not liking this at all.

Why Wednesday and not today or tomorrow? I'm curious.

Just a guess.
