disability testing-is law school even worth it? Forum

[A. Nony Mouse]

Jeffort, to be fair to cron1834, I had some of the same questions he had about where your information was coming from. For instance, your emphasis on holistic review goes against most of what's commonly understood about law school applications, and people here tend to be a little suspicious about whether schools actually do what LSAC says they do (leaving aside the fact that you didn't initially cite LSAC publications as the source of your information). Whatever you think about his tone, I understood cron1834 to be jumping in on the thread for the same reason people post here generally, in any of the on-topic threads - in the interest of having the best information available for people who use this board in the future.

I'm not disputing your information about how schools handle accommodated scores. It just wasn't entirely clear to me, either, initially, whether you were describing what schools do as opposed to what you want schools to do. (The issue of accommodated scores has come up here before, contentiously.)

I have a disability. I will need the extended time, a scribe, and a computer/printer because I can't write for myself. I will work very hard to get the best score I can. My education is very important to me. I WILL be a lawyer one day. I WILL get what I need, and I WILL do well on the test. If I don't advocate for myself who will? It's one of the main reasons I want to be a lawyer. I'm big on advocacy and rights.
