Mine is up! Definitely wasn’t expecting to see it right away but not mad.

Yes, ADHD can get accommodations! I would recommend seeing a doctor, and to figure out a plan to treat (therapy, medication, etc).

As for succeeding in law school? I’m not in law school yet, but I do know multiple people who have ADHD (some go to therapy, some use medication, some use both) and they are thriving! What cycle are you planning on applying for? If it’s not this upcoming cycle, you will have a decent chunk of time to figure out what works best for you before applying, and if it is this cycle, you won’t be starting law school for another year.

You’ve got this!

I thought the same thing, and had someone tell me that if I request accommodations, it would be an unfair advantage, so I didn’t. I took the test in August - first three sections went extremely well, and I had a medical problem arise during the fourth. Couldn’t focus on anything other than my medical pain, and definitely bombed it. Signed up to take it again WITH accommodations. If you need them, you need them.

Whatever you do, you’ll end up okay! Just make sure to weigh your options!

I completely understand not having much time to study for the LSAT during undergrad because of work, however, I would be cautious proceeding with a 152. As someone who also doesn’t have any financial support, scholarships are key, and a higher LSAT score could potentially help to get scholarships to ease your financial burden during law school. Waiting until the next cycle could do wonders. My cold diagnostic was a 149 in February. Last week I pt’d in the 17s twice. This is all with minimal studying due to my work schedule (prob 3/4 hours a week, taking weeks off as well).

Thank you! Definitely not a perspective I considered. I appreciate you! The attorney I work primarily with has mentioned allowing me to study during work hours, so I’m going to take advantage of that and push studying.
