allodial

Read a random definition: Lord Lyon King at Arms

A quick definition of allodial:

Term: ALLODIAL

Definition: Allodial means owning land completely without owing anything to anyone else. It is the opposite of feudal, where the landowner owes something to a higher authority. Allodial land can be freely sold or given away.

Example: If you own a house and the land it sits on, and you don't owe any rent or taxes to anyone else, then you own an allodial property.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Allodial (pronounced uh-LOH-dee-uhl) refers to land that is owned absolutely, without any dependence on another person or entity for ownership or service. It is the opposite of feudal land ownership.

Example: In the United States, all land is technically owned by the government, but individuals can own land through allodial title. This means they have complete ownership and control over the land, without any obligations to a landlord or other authority.

Explanation: The example illustrates the definition of allodial by showing how it differs from feudal land ownership, where the landowner owes service or rent to a higher authority. Allodial ownership is rare in modern times, but it is still possible in some countries and can be used as a way to protect property rights.

I just noticed that UMich has the majority of their acceptances really early on. Does anyone know what happens to mid-November applicants? Are we just cooked?

How long can I delay sending my fall grades if they hurt my GPA? I’m still waiting on decisions and ideally I’m hoping they decide BEFORE seeing my new grades
TGM
18:27
dropped my GPA below median for a couple of schools I’m applying to, when I was above median before
Dkk
18:32
@TGM: Not long enough to get another transcript to recover.
Dkk
18:33
Honestly you could just wait until someone actually asks for your fall grades. Who knows.
Dkk
18:34
@wigwav: It looks like if below medians it will not help but If applying in November it seems you are still middle of the cycle.
18:34
@wigwav: nah
TGM
18:34
like am I expected to send it unprompted or can I wait until a school requested it
Dkk
18:35
@TGM: Expected to send it unprompted but you can wait and see.
18:36
Is your LSAT also below median?
TGM
18:37
It’s above median, but I’m applying T6 with unimpressive softs, so even with a good LSAT it’s tough
texaslawhopefully
18:38
Yeah, then I would just wait as long as you can to send it
texaslawhopefully
18:38
For like HLS at least, if you wait till J6 then you may already have a decision
TGM
18:39
@texaslawhopefully: alas, haven’t even gotten an interview (applied around thanksgiving)
18:39
Yeah I would delay as long as you have plausible deniability
TGM
18:40
I actually do have a transcript issue that registrar needs to resolve, should I say that
TGM
18:41
(Course marked as Incomplete that’s supposed to be removed)
TGM
18:41
not sure if I should email them to say that, or just hold off on sending it and not give an excuse
18:41
I think I just wouldn’t reach out and if they ask for them then say that
Dkk
18:41
