administrative freeze

Read a random definition: listed property

A quick definition of administrative freeze:

An administrative freeze is when a bank stops a person from taking money out of their account because they have filed for bankruptcy and owe money to the bank. This means the person cannot access their own money until the issue is resolved.

A more thorough explanation:

ADMINISTRATIVE FREEZE

An administrative freeze is when a bank stops a debtor from withdrawing money from their bank account after finding out that the debtor has filed for bankruptcy. This usually happens when the debtor owes money to the bank and still has funds on deposit.

For example, if John owes $500 to Bank A and has $1000 in his account, Bank A may put an administrative freeze on his account after finding out that John has filed for bankruptcy. This means that John cannot withdraw any money from his account until the bank releases the freeze.

Another example is if Jane has a credit card with Bank B and owes $1000. She also has a savings account with Bank B that has $500. If Jane files for bankruptcy, Bank B may put an administrative freeze on her savings account to prevent her from withdrawing any money until the debt is paid off.

An administrative freeze is a way for banks to protect themselves from losing money when a debtor files for bankruptcy. By freezing the account, the bank can ensure that they get paid back any money owed to them before the debtor can withdraw any funds. This can be frustrating for the debtor, but it is a necessary step to ensure that all debts are paid off fairly.

UCI hella liberal and trans. I think you would like it. More liberal than like Berk and UCLA if you can imagine. @Eggan

I did astrophysics for 3 years and hated it. Dropped out of my first college cus of it. @limpweeny

Do not recommend studying physics. Super boring, a lot of math, and most results are not replicable.

Ill say this though. I studied a lot of Otto Hahn and was happy to see him at the start of Oppenheimer. Made a little appearance. Nice tribute.

@Dkk: i know the makeup of UCI but im not from california and i didn't like how i'd have to be isolated from the labor movement since it's not very close to LA and OC is mostly a bunch of rich people tbh
19:09
i like berk's proximity to san francisco. the bay area is full of surprises when it comes to labor
19:11
thats why i'm mostly centered on cities with major labor activity this cycle (besides chicago) such as NYC, boston DC (where the union headquarters usually are)
19:11
Anyone else hella concerned w the uptick in applicants? Not sure if I can use the LSD data of the past to reference
some dean said they're only expecting 5-15% increase over the whole cycle, still not great, but not 30% like currently
19:15
Ohhh okay thank goodness. I saw +38% and lowk got scared
19:16
That doesn’t seem too bad if they increase class size by a bit 🙏

Ahh that is true but OC Disney Unions. Can always be involved in those. Some of the biggest unions in California. I was part of that for a couple years but my union was corrupt. @Eggan

Berk is definitely more fun. Unions in LA are of course the screen actors guild and then hospitality stuff like restaurants. It will be good wherever you go imo if that is what you are into.

@sadpadresfan: yeah, Spivey said the same thing wasp pointed out. 30% to start to 15% at the end. I think part of it may also be people just want more variety. Maybe a similar amount of applicants but more variety. More waitlist movement potentially this year. Schools fighting harder for people.
@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: the NU dean. Him and Spivey did a podcast on it.
And if you look at the numbers they're starting to come down. A couple weeks ago we were up 36 percent up, now we're only 26 percent up.

@texaslawhopefully: if you are trying to do texas law, why not go to UT Austin. Probably better scholarships for you compared to Harvard and its a pipeline. Unless, of course, scholarships don't matter in your case.
i studied hard stem but i just hate being in an actual lab lol
depends on the type of lab work that you do, the only thing i did enjoy doing was bacterial genetics because that shit is super fast and fun, but working in a wet lab is just a lottttt of sitting and waiting around
hence law, lmao
@NotJustALawyer: I'm trying to do an appellate clerkship and the very top schools just have better placement. And yes, I'm still considering UT, but I think with my numbers I can get scholarship money at most of the T14.
Also I made my username before I had my lsat back and then UT was my top choice, but I’ve been somewhat open geographically. I also have ties to Texas so I don’t think it’d be hard to get back here if I left the state for law school.
