aging-out

Read a random definition: in facto praestando

A quick definition of aging-out:

Aging-out is when a foster child or minor ward reaches the age where they are no longer legally entitled to care. This usually happens when they turn 18, but some states allow them to stay in foster care until they are 21 if they are still in school or cannot live on their own. Aging-out means that the child is no longer eligible for foster care and must find a way to support themselves.

Agio is a fancy word for the extra money you might have to pay when you exchange one kind of money for another. For example, if you want to exchange paper money for coins, you might have to pay a little extra. The same thing can happen when you exchange money from one country for money from another country.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: When a foster child or minor ward reaches the age at which they are no longer legally entitled to care.

Usually, this happens when the child reaches the age of majority and becomes ineligible for foster care. However, some states allow an extension of eligibility up to age 21 if the child is still in school or cannot live independently, or if it is otherwise in the child's best interests to remain in foster care and the child consents.

For example, if a foster child turns 18 and is no longer eligible for foster care, they may have to leave their foster home and live on their own. However, if they are still in high school and need support, they may be able to stay in foster care until they graduate.

The impression I get is most schools try not to judge based on the political implications of what you write about. They probably care more that you saw a problem and tried to fix it. That seems like a great thing to write a PS about @chowie
11:18
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?

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
