A quick definition of duumviri:

A duumviri is a term used in ancient Rome to refer to two men who were elected or appointed to hold an office or perform a function together. There were different types of duumviri, such as the duumviri municipales who were judicial magistrates elected annually in towns and colonies, and the duumviri navales who were officers appointed to man, equip, and refit the navy. The term can also refer to two peers in authority. Similarly, a dux was an army commander or military governor of a province in ancient Rome, and eventually became a title of nobility.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Duumviri were magistrates in ancient Rome who were elected or appointed in pairs to hold an office or perform a function. There were two types of duumviri: municipales and navales. The municipales were two judicial magistrates who were annually elected in towns and colonies. The navales were two officers who were appointed to man, equip, and refit the navy. The term duumviri can also refer to two peers in authority.

Example: In ancient Rome, the duumviri municipales were responsible for maintaining law and order in their towns and colonies. They would hear cases and make judgments on legal matters. The duumviri navales, on the other hand, were responsible for overseeing the navy and ensuring that it was properly equipped and maintained. These examples illustrate how duumviri were appointed to perform specific functions and carry out important duties in ancient Rome.

@JazzyGazelle: also why tf did they keep telling you it would come out sooner

Yes supposedly by next tuesday IF they're actually being accurate this time. During the call yesterday afternoon they said they can't PROMISE my decision will be out, but that they will basically have a wave before next wed (since thanksgiving break happens). Dean was the one who kept changing the dates on me, I think they just had a HUGE number of applications that they didn't really expect.

@ImpartialLion: I missed the NYU wave though and no YLS invite
I am sure we will all get into great places
I feel like NYU will come with time and it's a mess due to app increases. YLS is such a weird invite tho. 30% conversion rate
