People who work during the day / might be in class around release time: how are you going to handle opening the email?

Obviously, I realllyyyy want to know how I did but I'd much rather be sitting down at home with a beer in hand when opening LSAT_SCORE's message. (But not if it means having to let it sit there for a few hours.)

Planning on taking Wednesday the 5th off work if scores aren't reported by the deadline day.

I am going to open it when I get it.

Will you put on any music? That's my plan, regardless of where I happen to be when it comes in.

I will likely be at work and wouldn't be able to interrupt a lesson to put on music but if I am at home, the Rocky theme doesn't sound like it would be a bad idea. What song have you selected?

Chicago (Come on Feel the Illinoise), S.S.

Please, please tell me you are aiming for UChicago or Northwestern.

What was your PT average? Mine was 171.x. At first, I thought I bombed the test, but then, after thinking about it, and considering the hopefully generous curve, I was more optimistic. But now, I'm back to self-doubt. I think I under-performed my PT average. Score prediction: 168.

My last 5 test average was 168. But I know I underperformed.

Northwestern as a pipe dream but I think their deadline passed anyway

Maybe next cycle? Depends on how I did a few weeks ago.

I wonder which school has the most people who consider Illinoise to be among their t5 favorite albums.

Also, has LSAC ever released scores on a weekend?
Objectively I recognize that Monday and even Wednesday are probably more likely than tomorrow. But in the excitement of it actually being close, I'm hoping for tomorrow and getting too optimistic about it.

In June 2005, June 2007, February 2010, and October 2010 scores came out on Saturdays, according to this page.

ETA: This page also claims that Sunday releases are "not uncommon" ? ??

Dang 4 times?

I take it you are a first-time test taker and haven't applied anywhere?

Good guess.

Well, you probably have a better chance getting money applying early next year anyway. Or at least that is what I tell myself

Yeah, I've just resigned myself to the 5th. Anything before that will just be a pleasant surprise.

I wish I could be an optimist

Being pessimistic is more optimal. Most of the time you will be right, and when you are not, it will be a pleasant surprise.

I scheduled all my school visits between the exam and the release dates so I'd be busy. Honestly forgot about it most of the time, and I have no approximate idea of how I did now. Ignorance is bliss. I'm not thinking about it until I have to. Kind of surprised at how well it's working. Hell, I might not open the email when it comes... Nah I'll tear into it like a vicious, crazed wolf like everyone else.

I'm a very relaxed person, and when I got my December score a couple months ago my heart was racing. Just a heads up to all the first timers.

Yeah I've got a feeling that I'll blackout and won't be able to tell my grandchildren about that time my LSAT score came.
