A more thorough explanation:

CURIA PALATII

Curia palatii is a Latin term that means "court of the palace". It refers to a legal court that was held in the palace of a monarch or other high-ranking official.

During the Middle Ages, the curia palatii was the highest court in the Holy Roman Empire. It was presided over by the emperor or his representative, and it heard cases involving matters such as treason, heresy, and disputes between nobles.

Another example of a curia palatii is the Papal Curia, which is the administrative body of the Catholic Church. The Papal Curia includes several courts, including the Apostolic Penitentiary, which hears cases involving the forgiveness of sins.

The examples illustrate how the term "curia palatii" was used in different historical contexts. In both cases, it refers to a court that was located in a palace or other seat of power. The curia palatii was often the highest court in the land, and it had the authority to hear cases that other courts could not.

Gecko, I feel pretty good. Two of the RC passages had really tough inference questions -- hoping I narrowed down my answer choices correctly

ChowieBean

10:38

Very happy with LR other than having to guess on a couple questions cuz of time

i have a question about my personal statement. in my activism for the hospitality workers' union, i organized and spoke up in favor of stronger regulations on airbnb because the unregulated spread of airbnb throughout LA was inflating housing costs for workers and threatening their job security. do you think it's too divisive to mention regulating airbnb? idk

I wrote mine about how all activists should be consolidated into a large smelting pot and refined down to a viscous goo

Expecting a lot of rejections though

I'm sure you'll get a full ride to a few schools :P

The impression I get is most schools try not to judge based on the political implications of what you write about. They probably care more that you saw a problem and tried to fix it. That seems like a great thing to write a PS about @chowie

HowlEngineer

11:18

Besides, if a school didn’t let you in for trying to fix a problem you saw in your community, that doesn’t say great things about your school’s culture (assuming the thing you did showed good common sense judgment ofc)

HowlEngineer

11:19

That school’s* culture

ChowieBean

11:23

Thanks Howl you're right :D I def talked about solving problems in my PS

ChowieBean

12:03

@HowlEngineer: what's your dream school

"Have you applied for admission to [school] in a prior year" I applied in Oct. of the 23-24 cycle, should I put 23 or 24 as the year I applied?

MildChiller

12:09

Bcuz 2023 is when I technically applied but I applied for admissions in 2024

ChowieBean

12:14

2024 cuz that's when you would've been admitted

ErraticFearlessGecko

12:17

I agree with Howl

ChowieBean

12:19

Gecko what's ur dream school

ErraticFearlessGecko

12:20

Hard to say. I'm pretty firmly committed to the philly area so probably temple or villanova

ErraticFearlessGecko

12:20

Also relatively debt averse so I'd have to get a good scholarship from BC or Fordham to want to go but that's not very likely for me

ErraticFearlessGecko

12:21

Any advice? lol

[] baddestbunny

12:25

what’s a good scholarship for you? what would make BC or Fordham worth it?

ChowieBean

12:25

Hmmmm let me think

[] baddestbunny

12:25

fordham’s max aid they give is 45k per year

ErraticFearlessGecko

12:29

Bunny I can possibly get a 75%+ scholarship from villanova or temple, and I'd be moving back in with my parents if I went there so I'd have near-zero COL. It'd be really hard to beat that

ErraticFearlessGecko

12:29

I would prefer BC over Fordham just because I like boston more, but I'm expecting a WL there tbh

ErraticFearlessGecko

12:31

I would maybe consider BC with $ but I don't know how to decide if a better biglaw chance is worth the COL + higher tuition

How do I know if my status checkers are properly linked

@ChowieBean: right now, Michigan, but there are several that come close. How about you?
