A quick definition of Cui bono:

Term: CUI BONO?

Definition: Cui bono means "who benefits?" in Latin. It is often used to ask who gained an advantage from a crime or situation. This can help to identify suspects or motives. However, the term can also be used to ask what good or benefits come from something.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Cui bono? is a Latin phrase that means "For whose advantage?" or "Who benefits?". It is often used to ask who benefited from the results of a crime, without offering evidence of guilt. However, it can also be used to ask what benefits there are in a situation.

  • After the CEO resigned, some people asked, "Cui bono?" to find out who would benefit from his departure.
  • When a new policy is introduced, someone might ask, "Cui bono?" to understand who will benefit from the change.

These examples illustrate how the phrase can be used to question who stands to gain from a situation. It can be used in a criminal investigation to cast suspicion on someone without offering evidence of guilt. It can also be used in a broader sense to understand the motivations behind a decision or action.

I'd normally save the LOCI for after a real decision, but NYU doesn't play by the book, so I dunno.

Bro didnt realize that Application review is on a rolling basis. Decisions are made on individual applications as quickly as possible; however, the time required to a make a decision will vary among applications. A rolling admission process allows for extending the review process as appropriate ensuring that each application receives full and individualized attention in the context of careful comparison to other complete applications.

Raw eggs roll down my throat. I actually like eating raw eggs, however, the feeling of a glob of yolk/albumen gives me the feeling of chocking. Idk I personally think pushing yourself in all regards is a net positive, so I dig it. How many raw eggs have you ever eaten/drank at once? My record is 10
I sent an email to NYU with an updated resume, every other school I sent it to responded within a day and NYU still hasn't
I got a big internship so I wanted to let all schools know
And NYU and Stanford just no response
