Date: May 8th, 2012 8:11 AM Author: Fishy dog poop unfortunately no. I'm seriously worried of this possibility myself and already thought of an explanation like .. someone died in family or something horrible such that i couldn't concentrate/pass. Honestly i don't care about my friends so much, they'd prob just assume I passed and not ask, but it's my employer I'm worried about.

Date: May 8th, 2012 8:35 AM Author: obsidian bossy nursing home clown I had a friend with similar anxieties after passing the 2nd time around. In the end, she was quite literally never put in the position, personally or professionally, where it came up. As long as you don't affirmatively discuss it, I doubt you'll ever get asked in a point blank way. Mostly people just talk about their bar experiences generally. Don't worry about it.

Date: May 8th, 2012 12:02 PM Author: cracking goal in life why should it matter? if it's the new york bar, you passed the second try and you get admitted in the same year.
moreover, failing once is no big deal.
repeated failures that are bad. |

Date: May 8th, 2012 12:13 PM Author: Balding kitchen partner I don't list bar acceptance dates on my resume, only where I'm admitted... I think this is what most people do anyway, so I doubt people would notice (unless your firm lists year admitted). (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1943254&forum_id=2#20643814) |

Date: May 8th, 2012 12:17 PM Author: cracking goal in life NY bar candidates are admitted in the following year anyway. I know someone who passed the conn or mass bar on his first try - can't remember which one - got admitted in the following year too. |
