A quick definition of fem-crit:

Term: FEM-CRIT

Definition: A fem-crit is a person who believes in the critical-legal-studies school of thought and also identifies as a feminist. They believe that the law should be analyzed critically and that gender inequality should be addressed in legal systems.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: FEM-CRIT is a term used to describe a feminist who follows the critical legal studies school of thought. Critical legal studies is a way of looking at the law that emphasizes the role of power and politics in shaping legal decisions. A fem-crit is someone who applies this perspective specifically to issues of gender and women's rights.

Example: A fem-crit might argue that the legal system is biased against women because it was created by men and reflects their values and interests. She might point to cases where women were treated unfairly by the courts or laws that discriminate against women, such as those that restrict access to abortion or contraception.

Explanation: This example illustrates how a fem-crit might use the critical legal studies approach to analyze issues related to gender and the law. By examining the power dynamics at play in the legal system, she can identify ways in which women are disadvantaged and work to change them.

Tell us what's important to you

as far as i know, that information is simply for data collection purposes
^
13:34
i don't think it has a detrimental effect on your chances of admission
13:34
but also you don't need to tell them anything so lol
Can y'all help me understand something lol. What does it mean for an app to "go complete"? Is that when the school has reviewed it and made a decision?
13:35
Na, it's when they have all the required information
Gotcha. So what would be the difference between received and completed?
Does complete entail like the app + LORs?
13:35
correct
That makes sense. Thank you!
13:36
complete basically means they've acknowledged receipt and it's ready to go under review whenever they start the deliberative process

I still haven't had Chicago or Cornell go complete, but I think that's just how they be
13:41
when did you submit

How do you know when an application is complete? Is it on LSAC or the school's portal?
13:43
it'll be on the school-specific portal

13:44
when they opened
Quillinit
13:45
they both say something along the lines of "received and waiting to be processed"
13:48
anyone have good resources for revising a personal statement for reuse after applying with it last cycle?
13:49
Any guesses when Cornell and Penn CRS fee waivers will go out?
13:51
@Quillinit: from my recollection, chicago and cornell collapse complete/UR1 into a single step, so they may simply not be ready to begin reviewing applications
13:52
i think it's fair to assume, barring a handful of schools like UVA, most schools won't begin reviewing applications in earnest until the beginning of next month at the earliest, so it wouldn't be surprising to hear that applications are just sitting in the queue
13:54
@oakenrays: I was just gonna write a new one personally but I think you want to make it recognizably different from your previous PS
13:56
@baddestbunny: definitely agree that some revision and additional information is warranted but, my why law is the same... I guess just tell the same story in a different way
14:03
ugh fineeee I'll write a new stupid essay
14:07
yeah I told my last essay about a formative experience and am trying to update it now to be about what I’ve learned since that experience
recently wrapped up interview
i re-wrote my PS this cycle when I reapplied
fire drill at work
so lit
