A quick definition of finem facere:

Term: finem facere

Definition: Finem facere is a Latin term that means to make a compromise or settlement by paying a sum of money or finding security for a certain amount. In the past, judges had the power to order an offender to be kept in custody or imprisoned, but they could also allow the offender to make a fine to end the matter. The fine was not imposed but rather made as a bilateral transaction or bargain. Magna Carta limited fines that were made unjustly and contrary to the law of the land.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Finem facere is a Latin term that means to make a compromise or settlement by paying a sum of money. In the past, judges had the power to order someone to be kept in custody, but they could also allow the offender to make a fine with the king to end the matter. This fine was not imposed but rather made through a bilateral transaction or bargain. For example, if someone committed a crime, they could pay a fine to the king instead of going to jail. Magna Carta limited fines that were made unjustly and against the law of the land.

22:55

22:55
AH ok sooo i had the same fear when i was tryna decide. lsac website sucks but no you can delete an app you "started" (like clicked into ED) and then do RD. at least i did. maybe confirm on reddit or something but yeah

gtown: An optional response is another way for the Admissions Committee to get to know you. If you wish, we encourage you to submit a 250-word statement or one minute video, as applicable, for any of the following: 1. What’s the best (or worst) piece of advice you ever received? 2. If you could “uninvent” one thing, what would it be? 3. Tell us about a moment in your life that you regret. 4. Describe your perfect day. 5. Share a top ten list with us.
4.0 / 178 but KJD, what’re the chances I’ll get into Duke or Harvard or Yale?
KeenHeartbreakingRattlesnake

as a 4.0 /175 KJD myself, hopefully high!
KeenHeartbreakingRattlesnake

im this close to not applying to Harvard for the sheer fact that I don't want to fix my essays to fit their prompt
lol I get that urge. I ended up just splitting my personal statement and filling it out a bit
23:42
hi guys, if I am applying now and just got a full time job, does that count as 1 yr WE?
Yes
23:57
thanks!
Np!
actually can I ask u another question? How do you get CAS fees waived by schools? Is that unsolicited or is it normally solicited?

@InsipidLemon: really depends on how much they like you. Some schools will give it to you unsolicited, others you must ask.
