Anyone out there checking for Dec lsat today the 27th? Forum

I'm sure they're waiting to release the scores because they care about us and they want us to be able to savor the sweet feelings of anticipation. Those guys at LSAC are such fine fellows.

I think you should update the title of this thread every day.

Pretty precise, but what about the milliseconds? I think microseconds or nanoseconds or any smaller fraction of second would be silly. Though, since you seem to know when, perhaps it's not so silly...

I've been doing a ton of reading into release dates for the various administrations. On the LSAC website they say that they email scores approximately 3 weeks, with the earliest release I've seen being 17 days. Factor in holidays, plus the December trend from the last 2 years, I don't think it is reasonable to think scores will come out before New Year's because LSAC wants our apps to go in ASAP, they have never released scores in Jan, they only release scores when they're closed (I am starting to think that's just a coincidence) etc.

January 3rd makes sense, and if I'm right on which day, they will most likely be released starting early in the morning.

If you happen to be right about this, waiting 6 more days is really not that bad.

[legallyb]

Why doesn't anyone think this Friday is likely? It's both a Friday and a day they are closed. Plus, it's 20 days after the test. I think Friday is likely.

Sure, but that's a big if.

[iwanta170]

OK. But three weeks is equal to 15 business days. And, LSAC is closed from December 24 through December 31. So, 15 business days from December 11, 2010 puts us at January 10, 2011.

Remember, LSAC also had to deal with rescheduling, etc. the test for folks whose test centers were closed on December 11.

I'm sticking with January 10 as the magic date.

LSAC is always closed this time of the year and I'm sure often has problems with rescheduling. January 10 is unrealistic

Now now, don't silly.

un·re·al·is·tic (nr--lstk) adj.
Not compatible with reality or fact

Thus, Jan 10 is certainly not unrealistic. After all, it's the date LSAC themselves proposed.

Lol well tell me this: When was the last time the LSAT scores were released on the actual scheduled date?

That's irrelevant. Don't make a logical fallacy. You know that you can't assume that just because it hasn't happened for some time (even possibly ever) that it won't happen in the future.

Moreover, most of the date-release analyses account only for absolute number of dates, not business days. For example, last year LSAC had at least 13 business days before going on holiday. It was a minimum of 12 in 2008. In 2007, they had 15, but released scores 14 business days after the test.

So, you really think that they did everything they needed to do in a matter of nine business days? They would had to have, if scores are to be released before January 3, 2011. Well, I for one don't.

Right, you can think they will come out January 10th, it certainly is a possibility, but IMO it is highly unlikely.

[kkklick]

Also you are assuming that they work only during business days, and that there are no employees working during the week of the 24th-31st. Just because LSAC is "closed" doesn't mean no one is working.

Unlikely - perhaps. Highly unlikely - not.

January 3 seems highly unlikely based on my analysis.

OK, and why are you assuming that people are working at LSAC? Heck, who cares? Because, either way, the number of official business days before LSAC's official holidays doesn't change.

I never assumed anyone was working, I mentioned it as a possibility, not absolute. Either way this type of debate is useless because we have no sound basis or facts to draw any meaningful conclusions. No one has figured out how LSAC works, and it is unlikely we'll find out in the near future.

Lets just wait and see.

Agreed!

But all this debate and conjecture is fun, IMHO. No hard feelings, I hope!

Nope I like debating it kills time . It sucks that LSAC lacks transparency so all of our arguments are based on nothing more than mere speculation.

The fact that the scores are rarely (if ever) released on the scheduled date provides support for my assertion that a January 10 release date is unrealistic (though obviously still possible).
