Is it possible that some centers won't actually be cancelled until tomorrow morning? I'm trying to decide if I need to bring my laptop to the hotel tonight.

You should probably bring it just in case they cancel late tonight.

im bringing mine to my hotel. definitely a necessity

I hope they cancel it at American. One of my good friends is taking it there, and as of now it's still on. AU is nowhere near a Metro station, and I don't know how people can get there if AU suspends shuttle service, as they're likely to do. Plus, Metro is saying that if we get 8 inches or more, they will suspend service to all outdoor stations. And they very well might suspend bus service as well, like they did last time we had a blizzard. So anyone who doesn't live right near an underground station would be totally screwed, not to mention the difficulty of getting to AU from the Metro.

I live right next to Union Station and my plan was to metro over there. However, it's still a walk from the station. Could be a major bitch.

just closed american... this sucks

oh boy they just closed 2 in New Jersey:

New Jersey

* Center 1001 - Rutgers University, Newark, NJ
* Center 1007 - Richard Stockton College of NJ, Pomona, NJ

If Rutgers Newark is closed, which is north and supposed to get the same amount or less snow, then it would "logically follow" that Rutgers New Brunswick will eventually close?

[badpixie]

I'm surprised that Rutgers Newark made the list before New Brunswick.

I'm at William Paterson, so I am still waiting to see what they are going to do.

All of these closings mean that a huge portion of the Feb LSAT test-taking population will have to re-schedule. The storm is headed right up the I-95 corridor--it is not unreasonable to think that test-takers in these areas make up 30-40% of the whole LSAT test-taking population. This could end up being a huge mess, it is going to be very hard to accomadate all persons who need to re-schedule, especially with the holiday weekend next week. It will likely be a long time before scores are released, and who knows what the hell will happen as far as curve goes

Where did you read this? I haven't been notified and can't find it on LSAC.

Nice to see more closings in dc and maryland, still none for my center though which is pissing me off as the schools that I live most closest to are all closed. Just got off the phone with LSAC the school needs to notify them before they announce any closings. So you better call your test center and remind them that they've rented space to a third party that they must notify if they are going to close the school tomorrow.

[schand]

Brookdale Community College in NJ is closed, but not posted on LSAC yet:

Thanks. Anyone know when the makeup test is usually scheduled? One week after? Two weeks after?

[JSIM462]

What a tease closing the Newark campus before New Brunswick. I will be pissed...

[xcountryjunkie]

UGH, the other local college (5-10 mins from my testing center) is closed. Is there any hope for mine?

[booboo]

I was wondering how long it would take before UVA was added to the list... .

I feel the urge to strangle.

[keg411]

I almost took it at Rutgers Newark, but my center is also very very close to there, so I'm guessing we'll probably be closed too.

Rutgers Newarks is about half an hour away for Rutgers New Brunswick, but I'm pretty sure NB is supposed to get more snow than Newark, so it's weird that they've closed one and not the other already.

UVA just been added to the list.

wonder if who want and who dont want to take the exam this sat?

[chintand]

New York

* Center 3633 - Wagner College, Staten Island, NY

North Carolina

* Center 5311 - University of North Carolina-Greensboro, Greensboro, NC


just added...well our first new york and nc ones

[r6_philly]

I just called Swarthmore and they are closed. LSAC hasn't updated it but the school said it is. For all who's wondering you should call the center instead of waiting for LSAC.

I think no school is going to pay money for snow removal prior to the blunt of the storm, so it is unlikely that any school in a surburban setting will have any facility open tomorrow.

[Mr. Matlock]

Well, it's raining now here in Los Angeles. *fingers crossed*

[LongueFrappe]

The LSAT examination scheduled for Saturday, February 6th has been cancelled. LSAC will contact all test candidates via email the week for February 8-12 regarding their options.

Going to hangout with my buds, get stinko'd and probably come home on Sunday.
