A more thorough explanation:

DECREMENTUM MARIS

Decrementum maris is a Latin term that means the decrease of the sea from the land.

During low tide, the water level decreases and the shoreline expands, which is an example of decrementum maris.

Another example of decrementum maris is when a beach that was once covered by water during high tide becomes visible as the water recedes.

These examples illustrate how decrementum maris refers to the receding of the sea from the land, resulting in a decrease in the water level and an expansion of the shoreline.

most of the stuff a tutor will teach you is stuff you can figure out yourself if you’re sufficiently motivated. if you would benefit from some support and structure tutoring can be helpful

GodsPlanUltimately

22:45

I'm assuming then for status checking eventually that the school emails you that information once LSAC finishes processing?

babycat

22:50

Yep

I'm in a dual degree program that my undergraduate has where if you meet a gpa and percentile you can have your senior year be your L1 ! Cuts off a year of time and money and the partner was my top pick for law anyways. It all just worked out and since it's ED can't really apply anywhere else because the L1 transfers back to complete my degree. :)

oh that’s nice! I guess you have a high degree of certainty about the process then

@babycat: A few things. I mean, for one, this is my fifth year of undergrad (graduating with a dual BA/MA), so I don't think academically I'm incredibly behind or anything. Beyond, that I've explored other fields, and for the very niche area of public interest work I am interested in, law is the only way I can make a substantiative difference so why not start now.

And also my other options just are not great. I could take a shit paying job at a think tank, I was offered a job at, but I don’t find the work interesting. Or I could continue in academia, getting a phd, but again just not especially interested in academic philosophy.

I would say more, but I am very close to doxxing myself if I haven’t already.
