A quick definition of ceremonial marriage:

Ceremonial marriage is when two people legally agree to be husband and wife. They must be legally able to get married, agree to get married, and follow the rules for getting married. This type of marriage has important legal consequences, like how they share their property and money. It is different from other types of marriages, like common-law marriage, where they don't have a ceremony but still act like they are married.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A legal union between two individuals as husband and wife that follows all the statutory requirements and is solemnized before a religious or civil official. The essentials of a valid marriage are parties legally capable of contracting to marry, mutual consent or agreement, and an actual contracting in the form prescribed by law. Marriage has important consequences in many areas of the law, such as torts, criminal law, evidence, debtor–creditor relations, property, and contracts.

Example: John and Jane had a ceremonial marriage in a church with a priest officiating. They both met the legal requirements for marriage and gave their mutual consent to be married. Their marriage is legally recognized and has important consequences in various areas of the law.

Explanation: The example illustrates a ceremonial marriage that follows all the legal requirements and is solemnized before a religious official. The couple gave their mutual consent to be married, and their marriage is legally recognized. The example also mentions the important consequences of marriage in various areas of the law.

@InsipidLemon: really depends on how much they like you. Some schools will give it to you unsolicited, others you must ask.
I decided to apply to ASU because why not cause I saw they waived the application and CAS fee

i have a question about my personal statement. in my activism for the hospitality workers' union, i organized and spoke up in favor of stronger regulations on airbnb because the unregulated spread of airbnb throughout LA was inflating housing costs for workers and threatening their job security. do you think it's too divisive to mention regulating airbnb? idk

I'm sure you'll get a full ride to a few schools :P

The impression I get is most schools try not to judge based on the political implications of what you write about. They probably care more that you saw a problem and tried to fix it. That seems like a great thing to write a PS about @chowie
11:18
Besides, if a school didn’t let you in for trying to fix a problem you saw in your community, that doesn’t say great things about your school’s culture (assuming the thing you did showed good common sense judgment ofc)
11:19
That school’s* culture
11:23

"Have you applied for admission to [school] in a prior year" I applied in Oct. of the 23-24 cycle, should I put 23 or 24 as the year I applied?
MildChiller
12:09
Bcuz 2023 is when I technically applied but I applied for admissions in 2024
12:14
2024 cuz that's when you would've been admitted
I agree with Howl
