A quick definition of filiusfamilias:

A filiusfamilias is a term used in Roman law to describe a son or daughter, grandson or granddaughter who is not yet considered an adult and is still under the authority of their father or grandfather. They are also known as homo alieni juris. Every Roman citizen is either a paterfamilias (an adult who is free from paternal power) or a filiusfamilias (a child who is still under the authority of their father or grandfather).

A more thorough explanation:

A filiusfamilias is an unemancipated son or daughter, grandson or granddaughter in Roman law.

Lucius is a filiusfamilias because he is still under the power of his father.
Julia is a filiusfamilias because she is not yet married and is still under the power of her father.

These examples illustrate that a filiusfamilias is a child or grandchild who is not yet independent and is still under the power of their father or grandfather. They have limited legal rights and cannot make decisions on their own.

yeah im not sure what their thinking is, perhaps they might fill their class manually since they have so many applicants, but the longer you wait the more you are just getting the rest of the t20s scraps (which may be their strategy)

with vandy, in 2020-2021 which is likely the most similar cycle to this one, Vandy gave out 350 As total. Right now we are at 299. So I think there will still be some movement, and quite a few off waitlist

@starfishies: I think it depends on stats, if ur within target of stats its probably an actual WL, they do take a couple people off their every year

Mostlylegal

13:36

its also holy week this week so we might not get any movement from them either since friday and thursday are probably days off
