A quick definition of confidentiality agreement:

A confidentiality agreement, also known as a nondisclosure agreement, is a promise made by someone not to share any information they learn from a company or individual. This includes trade secrets, procedures, or other internal matters. Employees, beta-testers, and contractors often have to sign these agreements. It's like a secret promise to keep information safe.

A more thorough explanation:

A confidentiality agreement, also known as a nondisclosure agreement, is a legal contract that requires a person to keep certain information private and not share it with others. This agreement is often used to protect trade secrets, which are valuable pieces of information that give a company a competitive advantage.

For example, if a company has developed a new product or process that they believe will be successful, they may require employees or contractors to sign a confidentiality agreement to prevent them from sharing this information with competitors. This can help the company maintain its competitive edge and protect its intellectual property.

Another example of a confidentiality agreement is when a company hires a beta-tester to try out a new software program before it is released to the public. The beta-tester may be required to sign a confidentiality agreement to prevent them from sharing any information about the program with others.

In summary, a confidentiality agreement is a legal contract that requires a person to keep certain information private and not share it with others. This is often used to protect trade secrets and intellectual property.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs

UMN under review! As predicted, decisions are gonna come out early December
Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
