conditions of carriage

Read a random definition: malice prepense

A quick definition of conditions of carriage:

Conditions of carriage are rules that transportation companies make for people who use their services. These rules are like a contract that you agree to when you buy a ticket or use their service. For example, airlines have conditions of carriage that say you have to behave well on the plane, follow the rules for your luggage, and understand that flights might be cancelled. Shipping companies might have rules that say they are not responsible for certain problems with your package.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Conditions of carriage (also known as contract of carriage) refer to the terms and conditions set by transportation companies that must be followed by passengers who use their services. These conditions are usually presented as adhesion contracts, which means that passengers must accept them by purchasing or checking a box when buying the service.

For example, airlines have conditions of carriage that require passengers to behave properly on planes, follow baggage rules, acknowledge that flights may be cancelled, and agree to arbitration clauses. Shipping companies may include clauses in their conditions of carriage that state that the company is not financially responsible for certain delays, conditions, or damages to packages.

These examples illustrate how conditions of carriage are used to protect transportation companies from liability and ensure that passengers follow certain rules and regulations while using their services.

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

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
