A quick definition of agreed decree:

An agreed decree is a final decision made by a court that both parties have agreed to. It can be used in cases like divorce where the terms of the settlement are agreed upon by both parties. It is different from a regular judgment because it is agreed upon by both parties instead of being decided by the court.

A more thorough explanation:

An agreed decree is a final judgment that is reached by mutual agreement between the parties involved in a legal case. It is a court order that is agreed upon by both parties and is binding.

For example, in a divorce case, the parties may agree on the terms of the divorce settlement, including child custody, property division, and spousal support. The agreed decree would then be submitted to the court for approval and become the final judgment in the case.

Another example is a consent decree, which is a court order that all parties agree to. This type of decree is often used in cases involving civil rights or environmental issues.

The agreed decree is a way for parties to avoid a lengthy and costly trial and to come to a resolution that is acceptable to both sides. It is a legally binding agreement that must be followed by all parties involved.

as far as i know, that information is simply for data collection purposes
^
13:34
i don't think it has a detrimental effect on your chances of admission
13:34
but also you don't need to tell them anything so lol
Can y'all help me understand something lol. What does it mean for an app to "go complete"? Is that when the school has reviewed it and made a decision?
13:35
Na, it's when they have all the required information
Gotcha. So what would be the difference between received and completed?
Does complete entail like the app + LORs?
13:35
correct
That makes sense. Thank you!
13:36
complete basically means they've acknowledged receipt and it's ready to go under review whenever they start the deliberative process

I still haven't had Chicago or Cornell go complete, but I think that's just how they be
13:41
when did you submit
CaringEquableGuppy
13:42
How do you know when an application is complete? Is it on LSAC or the school's portal?
13:43
it'll be on the school-specific portal
Quillinit
13:44
when they opened
Quillinit
13:45
they both say something along the lines of "received and waiting to be processed"
13:48
anyone have good resources for revising a personal statement for reuse after applying with it last cycle?
13:49
Any guesses when Cornell and Penn CRS fee waivers will go out?
13:51
@Quillinit: from my recollection, chicago and cornell collapse complete/UR1 into a single step, so they may simply not be ready to begin reviewing applications
13:52
i think it's fair to assume, barring a handful of schools like UVA, most schools won't begin reviewing applications in earnest until the beginning of next month at the earliest, so it wouldn't be surprising to hear that applications are just sitting in the queue
13:54
@oakenrays: I was just gonna write a new one personally but I think you want to make it recognizably different from your previous PS
13:56
@baddestbunny: definitely agree that some revision and additional information is warranted but, my why law is the same... I guess just tell the same story in a different way
14:03
ugh fineeee I'll write a new stupid essay
14:07
yeah I told my last essay about a formative experience and am trying to update it now to be about what I’ve learned since that experience
recently wrapped up interview
i re-wrote my PS this cycle when I reapplied
fire drill at work
so lit
