A quick definition of autonomy privacy:

Autonomy privacy is the right to control your personal activities and decisions without anyone interfering or watching you. It means that you can keep your private information confidential and choose who you share it with. If the activity or decision is very important to you, the government must have a good reason to interfere. If it's not that important, a court will decide if it's okay for someone else to know about it.

A more thorough explanation:

Autonomy privacy is a type of privacy that refers to an individual's right to control their personal activities and intimate personal decisions without outside interference, observation, or intrusion. It means that a person has the right to make their own choices without anyone else interfering or watching.

For example, if someone wants to make a personal decision about their health, such as whether or not to have a medical procedure, they have the right to make that decision without anyone else interfering. If the state wants to interfere with that decision, they must show a compelling public interest before the private interest can be overcome.

Another example of autonomy privacy is a person's right to keep their personal information private. This includes sensitive and confidential information, such as medical records or financial information. A person has the right to choose whether, how, and to what extent this information is communicated to others.

Overall, autonomy privacy is important because it allows individuals to make their own choices and control their own lives without outside interference. It is a fundamental right that should be protected.

Help us make LSD better!
Tell us what's important to you

13:34
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
