A quick definition of de bonis testatoris ac si:

De bonis testatoris ac si: This is a legal term that means if someone dies and leaves behind property or money, the person they chose to take care of their things (called the executor) is responsible for making sure everything is taken care of properly. If the person who died didn't have any property or money, then the executor is responsible for paying any debts or expenses from their own money. If the executor doesn't do their job correctly, they can be held responsible for any problems that come up.

A more thorough explanation:

de bonis testatoris ac si

De bonis testatoris ac si is a legal term that means an executor is responsible for the debts of the deceased person if there is not enough money in the estate to pay them. If the executor lies about releasing the debts, they can be held accountable.

  • If a person dies and owes money to creditors, the executor of their estate must use the assets of the estate to pay off those debts. If there is not enough money in the estate, the executor may be held responsible for paying the remaining debts.
  • If the executor lies about releasing the debts, they can be held accountable. For example, if the executor tells a creditor that the debt has been paid when it has not, they can be sued for fraud.

These examples illustrate how de bonis testatoris ac si is used in legal situations to ensure that the debts of a deceased person are paid and that the executor is held accountable for their actions.

as far as i know, that information is simply for data collection purposes
^
13:34
i don't think it has a detrimental effect on your chances of admission
13:34
but also you don't need to tell them anything so lol
Can y'all help me understand something lol. What does it mean for an app to "go complete"? Is that when the school has reviewed it and made a decision?
13:35
Na, it's when they have all the required information
Gotcha. So what would be the difference between received and completed?
Does complete entail like the app + LORs?
13:35
correct
That makes sense. Thank you!
13:36
complete basically means they've acknowledged receipt and it's ready to go under review whenever they start the deliberative process

I still haven't had Chicago or Cornell go complete, but I think that's just how they be
13:41
when did you submit

How do you know when an application is complete? Is it on LSAC or the school's portal?
13:43
it'll be on the school-specific portal
Quillinit
13:44
when they opened
Quillinit
13:45
they both say something along the lines of "received and waiting to be processed"
13:48
anyone have good resources for revising a personal statement for reuse after applying with it last cycle?
13:49
Any guesses when Cornell and Penn CRS fee waivers will go out?
13:51
@Quillinit: from my recollection, chicago and cornell collapse complete/UR1 into a single step, so they may simply not be ready to begin reviewing applications
13:52
i think it's fair to assume, barring a handful of schools like UVA, most schools won't begin reviewing applications in earnest until the beginning of next month at the earliest, so it wouldn't be surprising to hear that applications are just sitting in the queue
13:54
@oakenrays: I was just gonna write a new one personally but I think you want to make it recognizably different from your previous PS
13:56
@baddestbunny: definitely agree that some revision and additional information is warranted but, my why law is the same... I guess just tell the same story in a different way
14:03
ugh fineeee I'll write a new stupid essay
14:07
yeah I told my last essay about a formative experience and am trying to update it now to be about what I’ve learned since that experience
recently wrapped up interview
i re-wrote my PS this cycle when I reapplied
fire drill at work
so lit
