Term: BSA

Definition: BSA stands for Business Software Alliance. It is a group of companies that work together to promote legal and ethical use of software in businesses. They help educate people about the importance of using licensed software and work to prevent piracy.

BSA

BSA is an abbreviation for Business Software Alliance. It is an organization that represents software companies and aims to promote legal and ethical use of software.

One example of BSA's work is to educate businesses and individuals about the importance of using licensed software. They also investigate and take legal action against those who use pirated software.

Another example is their efforts to advocate for policies that protect intellectual property rights and prevent software piracy.

9:14

I cant believe im about to go 200k in debt for law school

ImpartialLion

9:15

I guess i dont have any other debt, but it’s killing me.

lawdeedahh

9:15

well did she accept you @jackfrost??

ImpartialLion

9:15

@lawdeedahh: congrats on getting into ur #1

suddy

9:16

Which school will you attend, Lion? Columbia seems to be a good option with the scholarship.

jackfrost11770

9:16

She told me my payment is increasing lol

ImpartialLion

9:17

Yeah, i heard they dont really negotiate Butlers but I’m hoping to squeeze a few bucks out of them with what I get from UVA and NYU. CLS seems to be where im heading though for sure

suddy

9:18

If you got HYS, would you take that?

ImpartialLion

9:18

Super happy with CLS though. Was a little nervous about their fed clerkship #s, but I recently learned they place 41 fed circuit clerks a year, which is only 4 less than UVA despite their conservative presence.

suddy

9:20

That isn't bad at all

lawdeedahh

9:21

sorry just saw but thank you @ImpartialLion!

You know, I thought about it. I think I may be heading for the HLS WL (could be wrong). I heard you put down the deposit at HLS before seeing your scholarship if you get off the WL and I don’t know if I’ll do it. I have a long term gf (6 years) and we’ve always planned on moving to nyc to start our careers. I’m originally from there so it would be cool to show her where I grew up as a kid. I don’t think i can give up that ease + possibly go 300k+ in debt

ImpartialLion

9:21

Sorry for the long message😂

suddy

9:22

No, that makes sense. I know Harvard is wholly based on "demonstrated financial need," so it could very much be up to chance

ImpartialLion

9:23

Yeah and I have a complicated financial situation. Independent college student w/ no parental support or contact. Dont know if they’d honor my independence like my current school does

suddy

9:24

They don't. I tried to get a fee waiver from Harvard and was denied on the basis of my parent's finances, despite being financially on my own for law school.

ImpartialLion

9:24

Would basically entail HLS giving me a full ride if they did given my finances. Might be what’s holding my app back at the need-based schools since it was the topic of my PS

how do you negotiate a scholarship?? like have a meeting with the financial aid department or what

lilypadfrog

You can just email them and tell them you’re asking for a reconsideration given other offers, need, etc.
