A quick definition of commoner:

A commoner is a regular person who is not a noble or a member of the House of Lords. They are just like everyone else and do not have any special privileges or titles.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A commoner is an ordinary citizen who is not a peer. In the past, it also referred to a member of the House of Commons, a common lawyer, or a person with a right to pasture on a lord's land. It can also refer to a person who shares a right in common.

Help us make LSD better!
Tell us what's important to you
To be totally honest, us 4/14 people are probably slated for the big R wave at the end of the month lol.
I'm very happy for everyone admitted to the U *intense sobbing*
oh yeah I meant 2/14, the first ACL

i got 5 automated rejection emails for the same job
19:22
every hour
jesus
19:23
idk what they doin over dere
me when yet another week of schools sending out mass decisions but missing me (I know I'm a late applicant let me cope)
19:24
same i am still ur at nyu
it feels like surviving an execution
19:24
do they send all the updates for them at once at the beginning of the day, or are they actually rolling out decisions
19:24
i cant tell if ppl r just tracking late or actually getting them rolling
we r all lined up, blindfolded, and then the schools shoot people around and near you, and occasionally people out of the line. and u just stand there and wait for ur bullet or ur shoulder tap
19:25
ahhh got it
I think if it's R/WL, more likely big wave hit inboxes and people trickling in to update here last.
A's can be rolling tho
19:25
ok yeah then i dont really need to be refreshing every hour
The UofU has been calling people with admits which is more time consuming than just mass sending that god forsaken email (when will it be my turn)
It’s almost May and that’s making me worried
Its over this cycle
:(

Don't loose hope frens. It aint over, till its over, brother. -Hoya Saxa
Hey if I am on a bunch of waitlists am I screwed ?
21:39
@AlejandroAI405: Not for certain. You can get off the wait list, however it can be difficult. Would you consider reapplying next year or/and retaking the LSAT? You may drastically increase your choices/outcome(s)/and possibly get a scholarship
