Term: dos

Definition: Dos is a word from Roman law that means a gift given by a wife or someone else on her behalf to her husband before or after marriage. It was meant to help with the expenses of the couple's joint establishment. There are three types of dos: dos adventitia, which is a dowry given by someone other than the bride or her father; dos profectitia, which is a dowry given by the bride's father or the bride herself; and dos receptitia, which is a dowry that is returnable to the giver when the marriage ends. In history, dos was also known as dower.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Dos is a term from Roman law that refers to a dowry, which is a gift given by the wife or someone else on her behalf to the husband to help with the expenses of their joint household. The dowry could be given before or after marriage and could be returnable to the giver if the marriage ended.

Example: In ancient Rome, it was common for a bride to bring a dos to her husband when they got married. This dos could be given by the bride herself or by someone else on her behalf, like her father. The dos was meant to help the couple with their expenses and was an important part of the marriage contract.

Which school will you attend, Lion? Columbia seems to be a good option with the scholarship.

She told me my payment is increasing lol
Yeah, i heard they dont really negotiate Butlers but I’m hoping to squeeze a few bucks out of them with what I get from UVA and NYU. CLS seems to be where im heading though for sure

If you got HYS, would you take that?
Super happy with CLS though. Was a little nervous about their fed clerkship #s, but I recently learned they place 41 fed circuit clerks a year, which is only 4 less than UVA despite their conservative presence.

That isn't bad at all

sorry just saw but thank you @ImpartialLion!
You know, I thought about it. I think I may be heading for the HLS WL (could be wrong). I heard you put down the deposit at HLS before seeing your scholarship if you get off the WL and I don’t know if I’ll do it. I have a long term gf (6 years) and we’ve always planned on moving to nyc to start our careers. I’m originally from there so it would be cool to show her where I grew up as a kid. I don’t think i can give up that ease + possibly go 300k+ in debt
Sorry for the long message😂

No, that makes sense. I know Harvard is wholly based on "demonstrated financial need," so it could very much be up to chance
Yeah and I have a complicated financial situation. Independent college student w/ no parental support or contact. Dont know if they’d honor my independence like my current school does

They don't. I tried to get a fee waiver from Harvard and was denied on the basis of my parent's finances, despite being financially on my own for law school.
Would basically entail HLS giving me a full ride if they did given my finances. Might be what’s holding my app back at the need-based schools since it was the topic of my PS

You can just email them and tell them you’re asking for a reconsideration given other offers, need, etc.
Emails right? Do you send the other offer letters or just write the offers out?

9:35
This has some good info
lilypadfrog
9:37
You’re going to want a research a school’s reconsideration policies before you reach out because for some they will only reconsider one time or review one competitive offer
9:37
others won't reconsider at all
lilypadfrog
9:38
exactly and this website also talks about that possibility
