Read a random definition: serve

A quick definition of advice:

Advice: Advice is when someone gives you guidance or suggestions on what to do. It's like when a teacher tells you how to solve a math problem or when your mom tells you to wear a coat because it's cold outside. Sometimes, a special kind of advice called "advice of counsel" is given by a lawyer to help someone make a legal decision. Another type of advice is called a "letter of advice," which is a notice that a payment has been made for goods or services.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Advice is guidance given by one person to another. It can also refer to notice of the drawing of a draft for goods or services.

  • When I was feeling lost, my friend gave me some great advice on how to find my way.
  • The lawyer provided advice to his client on how to proceed with the case.
  • The company sent a letter of advice to inform the customer that their order had been processed.
  • After sending the payment, the customer received a remittance advice to confirm the transaction.

The first two examples illustrate the first definition of advice, which is guidance given by one person to another. In the first example, a friend provides advice to help someone who is feeling lost. In the second example, a lawyer provides legal advice to a client. The third and fourth examples illustrate the second definition of advice, which is notice of the drawing of a draft for goods or services. In the third example, the company sends a letter of advice to inform the customer that their order has been processed. In the fourth example, the customer receives a remittance advice to confirm the transaction.

Besides, if a school didn’t let you in for trying to fix a problem you saw in your community, that doesn’t say great things about your school’s culture (assuming the thing you did showed good common sense judgment ofc)
11:19
That school’s* culture
11:23
Thanks Howl you're right :D I def talked about solving problems in my PS

"Have you applied for admission to [school] in a prior year" I applied in Oct. of the 23-24 cycle, should I put 23 or 24 as the year I applied?
MildChiller
12:09
Bcuz 2023 is when I technically applied but I applied for admissions in 2024
12:14
2024 cuz that's when you would've been admitted
I agree with Howl
12:19
Gecko what's ur dream school
Hard to say. I'm pretty firmly committed to the philly area so probably temple or villanova
Also relatively debt averse so I'd have to get a good scholarship from BC or Fordham to want to go but that's not very likely for me
Any advice? lol

12:25
what’s a good scholarship for you? what would make BC or Fordham worth it?
12:25
Hmmmm let me think

fordham’s max aid they give is 45k per year
Bunny I can possibly get a 75%+ scholarship from villanova or temple, and I'd be moving back in with my parents if I went there so I'd have near-zero COL. It'd be really hard to beat that
I would prefer BC over Fordham just because I like boston more, but I'm expecting a WL there tbh
I would maybe consider BC with $ but I don't know how to decide if a better biglaw chance is worth the COL + higher tuition

How do I know if my status checkers are properly linked
12:59
@ChowieBean: right now, Michigan, but there are several that come close. How about you?
13:05
@Law01: I haven't gotten the status checkers to work at all. When I sent an email to the LSData folks the other week, they said they were working on fixing them
13:10
but I think "Last Checked" would change from "Never" to something else
13:30
@HowlEngineer: I'll get more specific once I get my LSAT score, but NYU, Berk, GTown, UCLA
13:30
Anywhere that's top for PI

They make the Yale app a lot of work to filter out the people who don’t really want it like that
