A quick definition of acceptilation:

Term: ACCEPTILATION

Definition: Acceptilation is a legal term that means a person can be released from an obligation even if they haven't paid everything they owe. It's like a pretend payment that makes the debt go away. This was used in ancient Rome and is also called "acceptilatio." It's similar to another legal term called "apocha."

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Acceptilation (ak-sep-tə-lay-shən) is a legal term used in Roman and civil law. It refers to an oral release from an obligation, even if the payment has not been made in full. It is a complete discharge, especially through a fictitious payment.

Example: In ancient Rome, if a debtor owed money to a creditor, but could not pay the full amount, they could use acceptilation to release themselves from the obligation. The debtor and creditor would agree on a fictitious payment, and the debtor would be released from the debt.

Explanation: This example illustrates how acceptilation was used in ancient Rome to release debtors from their obligations. It shows that even if the debtor could not pay the full amount, they could still be released from the debt through a fictitious payment. Acceptilation was a way to settle debts without requiring full payment.

I'd normally save the LOCI for after a real decision, but NYU doesn't play by the book, so I dunno.

Bro didnt realize that Application review is on a rolling basis. Decisions are made on individual applications as quickly as possible; however, the time required to a make a decision will vary among applications. A rolling admission process allows for extending the review process as appropriate ensuring that each application receives full and individualized attention in the context of careful comparison to other complete applications.

Raw eggs roll down my throat. I actually like eating raw eggs, however, the feeling of a glob of yolk/albumen gives me the feeling of chocking. Idk I personally think pushing yourself in all regards is a net positive, so I dig it. How many raw eggs have you ever eaten/drank at once? My record is 10
I sent an email to NYU with an updated resume, every other school I sent it to responded within a day and NYU still hasn't
I got a big internship so I wanted to let all schools know
And NYU and Stanford just no response
