A quick definition of determinate hospitalization:

Term: DETERMINATE HOSPITALIZATION

Definition: Determinate hospitalization means staying in the hospital for a specific amount of time, usually because a person has been ordered to stay there by a court or other legal authority.

It's like when you have to go to school for a certain number of days or weeks, but instead of school, it's a hospital and you have to stay there until the time is up. This is usually done when someone needs help with their mental health and safety, and the court or legal authority thinks it's necessary for them to stay in the hospital for a certain amount of time.

A more thorough explanation:

Determinate hospitalization refers to a specific period of time that a person is required to stay in a hospital, usually due to a legal order or civil commitment. This means that the length of the hospitalization is predetermined and cannot be changed without legal authorization.

For example, if a person is deemed a danger to themselves or others due to a mental illness, they may be placed under determinate hospitalization for a certain number of days or weeks. During this time, they will receive treatment and care in a hospital setting until they are deemed safe to leave.

Another example is if a person is convicted of a crime and sentenced to determinate hospitalization as part of their punishment. In this case, the length of their hospitalization is determined by the court and cannot be altered without legal approval.

Overall, determinate hospitalization is a legal concept that ensures individuals receive necessary treatment and care for a specific period of time, as determined by a court or other legal authority.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs

UMN under review! As predicted, decisions are gonna come out early December
Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
