June 2016 - Waiter's (+170 or bust) GRAY DAY HAS AWOKEN FROM ITS SLUMBER Forum

[Keilz]

Post-LSAT all I wanted was a strawberry margarita and chicken tacos from this place down the street. Literally had been planning it out for days. Then my boyfriend decided to go to the gym after work and didn't get home in time for happy hour and I lost my ID so no margarita for me ): I'm a little embarrassed about how upset I got over that.

seriously I would be the same way.

[pretzeltime]

Now I want a marg. Maybe that will be my after school project

Dave Killoran just tweeted "They grey..." and heart skipped several beats. Still no grey

[Sarastro]

So has no one from LSAC ever retired and talked about this process? Obviously they give a release date that is longer out than they need, hence early releases. So what's the criteria for when they do actually release? In my head I'm imagining two guys leaning against a water cooler slowly sipping:

"So. You finish up your scores?"
"*Slow sip* ahhh. Yep. Yep..."
"*Slow sip; stares off into space*"
"You?"
"Yesterday actually."
"Mmm. *Sips; readjusts lean*"
"Time to release then?"
"Eh. I had kind of a big lunch... I don't know how much i feel like doing this afternoon."
"I hear you there. *Sips*"
"Maybe later."
"Yeah. Maybe later. *Stares into space*"

I haven't been paying much attention to this thread since I know I won't be reaching my potential score unless 6 RC questions in a row were answer choice D, so sorry if this has been asked and answered:

Am I correct in saying that "go grey" happens an hour or two before the email from LSAC?

[Smallville]

Bleghhhhhhh the LSAT ain't gonna change in time for any (or most) of us, so idk why it's a point of huge interest. It's like the drinking age law. Once you turn 21 you stop caring about how bullshit it is.

Would rather debate about burgers/tacos

eh I know plenty of people who thought the same back when the drinking age was 18 (or buying tobacco was 18) until the drinking age changed and screwed them all over again (or people could finally buy cigarettes and then suddenly couldnt)

Are you like 50 years old, who are these people you're referring to? Or was it recently changed in some specific state?

my age is irrelevant, point is just bc u reached the age where you can do specific things, doesn't mean that age restriction can't change when you "stop caring about how bullshit it is"

e: also yes obvi 50... what kind of person knows others older than themselves right?

I mean, of course it can change but I don't really see your point....

well then ur a lost cause

Killoran's last tweet was a huge tease.

not really, your point just wasn't relevant to the comparison that I was drawing

This gave me a hearty chuckle. Thanks for that

Sorry about that! I was replying to a question someone posed to me. No official word yet...

[dodint]

I wonder what's worse. This waiting, or the waiting between when it goes gray and when you get the score. Hopefully it'll happen on my commute and I'll never find out.

It's not so bad waiting between grey and scores because a) everyone will be freaking out on here which is good fun and b) at that point it's only a matter of minutes/hours rather than days

Good to see you still have hope though!

you get to wait all over again when you apply to schools and TLS gives you ideas on what you hear back and you don't hear anything and know you're done for

I only just learned who this Killoran lad is but he just tweeted gray usually happens between 4:30 and 6:30. No reason to have doubts just yet

I know you said it might change now, but historically how long ago did you get the licensing email when scores were released, was that a relatively new phenomenon, or was it a somewhat reliable indicator?

[Keilz]

Awk, I'm an orphan

Well at least that explains why you act like an only child whose parents never gave her an ounce of attention.

woahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Yeah, I think it's only the uncertainty that drives people nuts. Waiting is tough but if you have an endpoint to look forward to, it's manageable.

Of course were it not for the interwebs, people would be waiting patiently for June 30 and would just be pleasantly surprised if they got their score early. But alas that is not reality

TBH I think it'd be better for collective sanity if they actually stuck to their release date, even if they are ready a few days early
