Feb Waiters: is TODAY the DAY? [New Poll] Forum

[everett2014]

I just called LSAC and they confirmed that they've moved to a new score system where everyone will receive a score between 1 and 2.

Unfortunately they will not release these scores to the test takers as they fear that knowing your score may cause you to pigeonhole yourself. Scores will be sent to all schools, so you should apply to the schools that send you information, the more information they send you, the more likely it is that that school is your best fit.

In an unrelated story, meet my friend Mike Ramien from Valparaiso.

...?

Ok, obviously the second part is bs, but the first?

I dont know how you though the first part was possibly real while the second fake. BTW, the third part is real, trust me, you'll get to know Mike quite well very soon.

see edit. I thought you meant we will receive our scores between 1 and 2pm

Rofl, They sent me another one today

Charlotte law, Savannha law, RWU, and ONU all sent me invitations to apply today.

just out of curiosity...is there any method to the madness of the random school e-mails? why do some schools e-mail and others not, and why do schools e-mail different ppl?

[OliveBC]

The sad thing is I actually know someone who is currently going to Charlotte Law.
I asked her about the lsat when I first started to become interested in law school and she told me not to even worry about it and that it didn't matter

needless to say I since found TLS and now feel really bad for her...

I dunno, I got nailed by a ton, but I signed up for Crs and had all my transcripts in at the time with an old score,
anyone else do anything different?

BTW if any of you waiters have any question for someone currently going through their cycle feel free to ask.

It sounds like you're menstruating

On another note, explain to me why you guys are freaking out. I don't get it. I understand freaking out before and during the test, but why freak out now? Am I just weird? I'm quite calm, albeit a bit worried about scoring less than I did before, but I'm not remotely close to the level of anxiety going on in here.

I'm more impatient than I am stressed.

I've been trying to beat my chess app on master level to pass the time. It kicks my ass every time but it keeps me occupied.[/quote]

On master, that is crazy. I lose anywhere above 75 percent of the comp's capability. GOod thing for the undo last move button lol

I think they're just casting a wide net. If you're interested, you'll respond, if not, meh, it was worth a shot. I don't know if there's anything beyond that, but seriously, you'd think they'd at least try to screen people who wont be interested. It's like a fat, broke, balding dude trying to hit on every chick from busted to model. I don't get it.

Haha, I just checked and it's actually the 4th of 6 levels, so it wasn't master. I think I've only beaten it twice on that level (out of about 30 tries). I try not to use the undo moves; i feel like I'm cheating lol.

Definitely, but I wonder why they repeat it over and over with no response...

It is cheating but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. It hurts your psyche to be beat repeatedly by a machine/inanimate object. lol.

Play sudoku instead. You can't lose. And you'll waste a lot of time

[jvsj]

What a waste of a day. See you tomorrow folks.

[OliveBC]

anyone here have the app seven little words? that's what I've been doing to distract myself, although I do love sudoku

Sudoku rocks, man, but it doesn't evoke the kind of vengeance that computerized chess delivers; it can get a bit boring. With chess, however, sometimes I feel like I can't rest until I have at least a "good try" game lol.

Try timed sudoku. I've killed many an hour trying to beat my best times.

i just forced myself to put the iphone down because i checked my sudoku app stats and i've apparently played 10,933 games... i need a new hobby.

Yeah, I have. It's a great way to kill some time indeed.

ALREADY Getting into Harvard has nothing to do with it, right?

Just saw this post lol. Nah, I honestly didn't freak out the first time around, either. My anxiety peaked in the days leading up to the test. Once I sat down and gave myself a little pep talk, I started relaxing, but after the test I was a lot less anxious.

i didn't really have any anxiety before the test. once it was over, though, i went from zero to unacceptably neurotic in... the time it took me to find my way back to my car from the test room.

I was weirdly, bizarrely chill going into the test. Like.. basically smiling. Maybe even smiling. It was some sort of bizarre excitement to finally be sitting down to the real thing, not that I necessarily felt totally prepared (I did not).

It took a little bit for the afterglow to wear off, but I was a neurotic mess by that evening.

i legit freaked out once i hit the car. and then for some bizarre reason i decided i didn't want to go home because i would just freak out more, so i went to starbucks and drank 4 venti mochas... that was not a good idea. then i was just freaking out and shaking like a chihuahua. dumb.

Lolol, FOUR venti mochas!? I can only imagine how jittery you must have been! That much caffeine in one sitting + LSAT anxiety, I don't think I would have slept that night. XD

[socrates88]

So is the consensus that there's no chance scores will be released tonight?

I know what you mean about bizarre excitement. I got a massage and got my hair done the day before haha so I was actually super relaxed and fell asleep like a baby at like 10:30 pm. The morning of I was pretty nervous on the ride to the testing center, but it was in a building at my school that I literally go to every day and have like 99% of my classes in so once I got there it kind of just felt like any other day taking a test there. I was really excited and pumped up waiting for the test to start, was pretty much happy and smiling the whole way through and afterwards felt really fantastic, like literally felt like Judd Nelson at the end of Breakfast Club when I was walking out of there

I actually think I might even have been weirding out one of the proctors/other test takers because I was so happy/smiley/excited...everyone else looked pretty solemn haha. I was so light-hearted I even drew a picture of a sunbathing stick figure on an island in the scratch paper area of my written section... that got me a few odd looks as well...

But hey it doesn't get reported and I was bored

I'm hoping that excitement/lack of nerves during the test was beneficial!
