A quick definition of danger:

Danger means something that can cause harm, loss, pain, or other negative results. It can be a real threat or something that seems like a threat. For example, a fire is a real danger, while a toy that looks like it could be dangerous is a seeming danger. Sometimes, danger can be created on purpose to keep people away, like a fence with spikes on top. Other times, danger is unavoidable, like when there is a storm or a wild animal nearby. It is important to be aware of danger and take steps to stay safe.

A more thorough explanation:

Danger refers to a situation where there is a risk of harm, loss, pain, or other negative consequences. It can also refer to something that poses a threat or a menace to someone or something.

  • Apparent danger: A person standing on the edge of a cliff is in apparent danger of falling and getting hurt.
  • Imminent danger: A person being attacked by someone with a weapon is in imminent danger and can use force to defend themselves.
  • Deterrent danger: A barbed-wire fence or spikes on the top of a wall are examples of deterrent danger that an occupier of land creates to discourage trespassers.

These examples illustrate how danger can be perceived or real, and how it can be created intentionally or unintentionally. Danger can also be a subjective experience, where what one person perceives as dangerous may not be the same for another person.

to assess their value to each school

Index numbers seem useful mostly to help you see how soon your app might be reviewed after submitting, since admissions officers are incentivized to make decisions on high performers early. But I’m not actually sure how useful that is in reality lol. It could also give some hints on how much a school weighs gpa vs lsat
12:20
yeah tldr mathy astrology for admissions lmfao
