THE NOT-SO-OFFICIAL OCTOBER 2008 LSAT SCORES THREAD (Scores ARE out)

[hitmon33]

You guys all need a reality check.  165 puts you in the top 5%.  I work for very successful lawyers, one of who went to Loyola and the other who went to Rutgers.  The LSAT gets you into a good school.  It does not make you a good lawyer.

Will schools take into account the harder scale? Or at least, since everyone's in the same boat, will it balance out as they're considering various applicants?

I didn't get my score, or email.

Same here. I wonder if its a regional thing. Where did you test at, Thales?

[Remarq]

If we dont get it by 9pm est should we expect it in the morning?

Cal - there was no 176 on this test according to the purported conversion table.

165 doesn't, a 167 does, but that's splitting hairs.

What matters somewhat is whether the person who took the test did as well as they thought they could.  It could be deflating, a let down, to test much lower than your range and they have a right to be pissed.  

So lay off them for today; tomorrow if they female dog have at it, but it is unnecessary and worthless to criticize them today.

I thought I posted my score but I think LSD ate it: 168

Very "eh.." score, but I feel alright 

I know you were hoping for more, but still, it's a respectable score (as was your previous score, hint, hint!)

Congrats!

I tested in Michigan- I havent gotten it yet.

Gotcha. I tested in NYC. Hmmm...I wonder what's up.

You posted at 7:45 that you did not take the October test.

I am further convinced that people are being misled.

One person indicates they didn't take the test in a post 15 minutes earlier and another recieves a score that wasn't available. Hit me with your best shot and explain.

Seriously, way to be insane, argent.

On the real - congrats to all who are happy with their scores (especially retakers! going through this mess twice sucks)
