A quick definition of due diligence:

Term: Due diligence

Definition: Due diligence means being careful and paying attention to something so that you don't get in trouble later. For example, if you want to buy a company, you need to do due diligence to make sure everything is okay with the company. This means checking all the important information and making sure it's true. It's like doing your homework before you buy something or make an important decision.

A more thorough explanation:

Due diligence is the care and attention given to a matter to avoid legal liability. It is not an exhaustive investigation, but rather a reasonable effort to verify information and facts. For example, in a securities offering, parties can avoid fraud liability if they conduct due diligence on the issuer.

When conducting due diligence, audited financial statements are reviewed, and other reasonable investigations are conducted. Due diligence can also refer to investigating a company before a merger or acquisition.

For instance, if a company is considering buying another company, they will conduct due diligence to verify the financial information provided by the seller. This process helps the buyer avoid any potential legal or financial issues that may arise after the acquisition.

In summary, due diligence is a necessary process to ensure that all relevant facts and financial information are verified before making any investment or business decisions.

What does "Hold" mean on the result column?
21:28
@ClockworkBlue: on LSD?

babycat

A hold is not exactly a waitlist, but it means they’re waiting to give you a decision later

@llama: nice
21:32
@ClockworkBlue: what babycat said, the link reads as the school always initiates the 'hold' status, however [in my case] sometimes applicants ask to be placed on 'hold' pending a score (LSAT, final semester of UG, etc).
21:32
@babycat: just had to get that off my chest.
cornell kira is just about performing well under pressure and having substantive content in your questions
so just try to stay calm and pace your responses so you give good answers during the interview
21:44
so just don't sperg out on camera and ur good?
yeah pretty much, you get some leniency too. they expect you to not be perfect under pressure
