earnest money

Read a random definition: return date

A quick definition of earnest money:

Earnest money is a deposit that a person pays when they want to buy something, usually real estate. It shows that they are serious about buying it and will complete the transaction. If the person doesn't follow through with the purchase, they may lose the earnest money. The amount of earnest money can be a lot of money, but it is important to show that the buyer is committed to the purchase.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Earnest money is a deposit made by a potential buyer, usually in real estate, to show that they are serious about buying the property. The deposit is often held in escrow and can be forfeited if the buyer fails to complete the transaction.

For example, if someone wants to buy a house, they may put down a deposit of $10,000 as earnest money. This shows the seller that they are serious about buying the house and are willing to put down a significant amount of money to secure the deal. If the buyer fails to complete the transaction, the seller may keep the earnest money as compensation for the time and effort they put into the sale.

Earnest money is not always required to make a purchase agreement binding, but it can be an important part of the process, especially in competitive real estate markets where multiple buyers may be interested in the same property.

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

I mean if Fordham doesn't release today I will purposefully get on a train, go to new york, and then take the stinkiest shit inside the admission office's toilet (potentially clogging it and forcing them to get a plumber)
