A quick definition of attesting witness:

An attesting witness is someone who signs a document to confirm that they saw someone else sign it. For example, if someone signs a will, an attesting witness would sign to say they saw the person sign it. A witness is someone who sees or knows something and can tell others about it. They might give evidence in court to help decide what happened in a situation. There are different types of witnesses, like an expert witness who knows a lot about a certain topic, or a character witness who talks about someone's personality.

A more thorough explanation:

An attesting witness is someone who vouches for the authenticity of another person's signature by signing a document that the other person has signed. This means that the witness confirms that the signature on the document is genuine.

For example, when someone signs a will, two attesting witnesses are usually required to sign the document as well. By doing so, they confirm that the signature on the will is indeed the signature of the person who made the will.

Another example is when someone signs a contract. An attesting witness may be required to sign the contract as well to confirm that the signature on the contract is genuine.

Overall, an attesting witness is an important part of ensuring the validity of legal documents and preventing fraud.

Anyone know how long it takes to get aid package after getting admitted to UChicago or Northwestern?
I’d ask in the t14 chat bc lol it may be a bit until you can get someone who can answer that question here

@syddak: Oof tough spot. Congrats on the As. Did either indicate either via email/mail that they would be following up with aid, and if so, did they provide a time frame? It may be acceptable to email them and indicate seat deposits are fast approaching and you are curious if you can expect further info (aid) from the school to aid u in ur decision..
