A quick definition of agens:

Term: AGENS

Definition: An agens is someone who does something or takes action. It can also refer to someone who is bringing a legal case to court as the plaintiff.

Definition: Agens (ay-jenz) is a Latin word that means:

  1. One who acts or does an act; an agent.
  2. A plaintiff.

For example:

  • As an agens, the real estate agent helped the couple find their dream home.

this cycle is crazy i feel like double deposit is warranted in a lot of cases
[] c0bra1
16:28
id be down to double to get more time to choose but i think for the factors that i listed it would be unlikely for those to change in a significant way

from what ive understood villanova's 3rd market is nyc but the philly ip market is a little small, most of the ppl i talked to had WE in tech first and thats how they got related roles in 1L/2L
[] c0bra1
16:29
they're just so similar on the balancing scale that im second guessing in case im overtly wrong on one of them...but then again all my friends say to quit whining and pick cardozo lol
starfishies
16:30
ngl still a tough decision
starfishies
16:30
but if youre trying to end up in nyc ultimately it seems like the more obvious answer
[] c0bra1
16:31

i think it would be easier for me to pick nova if the col in nyc wasn't something i was ready for but that's not a problem for me
starfishies
16:31

To me it seems that if you don't have all your responses yet (which all schools know it has been a crazy cycle), then you shouldn't be penalized if you put down a deposit, get a response from another school, and choose to go that direction. If the school is stinky about it, it seems you would have some recourse through LSAC

swag yeah thats cool i think ill most likely just deposit at dozo to save myself the constant back-and-forth on the decision -- i dont think ive had a conversation yet where i end up choosing nova despite my best to advocate for it lol
[] c0bra1
17:55
like i said earlier i think if the col was an issue for me id probably pick nova but my heart has always been set on ny and i think id be fine over there
