Passed the NY bar! I couldn't believe it when I saw the email! I messed up two essays and my MBE was so-so. I upped my score from 613/665 to the minimum passing of 665 or possibly a smidge higher? (Passers only receive scaled MBE scores, so I have no idea how far away I am, if at all from the 665 minimum passing score.)
Anyhow, now I must prepare my documents for admission.
Oh, by the way, still no word on the new working permit. :-(
