[blindlaw] Law School Prep

[Angie Matney]

Hi Joe,

October should be fine for early decision. If you think the extra time will benefit you, then I'd definitely wait. I took the December test and was accepted under regular decision.

Also, unless things have changed, when they email you, they only sign it "Accommodated Testing." Very, very annoying.
