counter offer

Read a random definition: invadiatus

A quick definition of counter offer:

A counter offer is when someone responds to an offer made by another person during negotiations. When a counter offer is made, it automatically rejects the previous offer. This means that the person who made the first offer must either accept the terms of the counter offer or there will be no agreement. For example, if someone offers to sell their house for $150,000 and the buyer responds with a counter offer of $140,000, the original offer is no longer valid. The seller can choose to accept the new offer, make another counter offer, reject the offer, or let it expire.

A more thorough explanation:

A counter offer is a response to an initial offer made during negotiations for a final contract. It is an offer made by the other party that changes some of the terms of the original offer. When a counter offer is made, it automatically rejects the previous offer, and a new offer is created. The new offer must be accepted under the terms of the counter offer, or there is no contract.

For example, if Susan Seller offers to sell her house for $150,000 to be paid in 60 days, and Bruce Buyer responds with a counter offer of $140,000 payable in 45 days, the original offer is no longer valid. Seller can choose to accept the new offer, make another counter offer, reject the counter offer, or let it expire.

Another example could be during a job negotiation. If an employer offers a salary of $50,000 per year, and the employee counters with a request for $60,000 per year, the employer can choose to accept the new offer, make another counter offer, reject the counter offer, or let it expire.

These examples illustrate how a counter offer can change the terms of an initial offer and create a new offer that must be accepted under the terms of the counter offer.

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
