A quick definition of flag:

Flag: A piece of cloth or material with a special design that represents something, like a country or a ship. Sometimes, people use a flag from a different country to avoid following rules or paying taxes. A white flag can also be used to show that someone wants to talk during a war, and they should not be hurt or captured if they are carrying it.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A flag is a piece of cloth or other material that is usually rectangular in shape and decorated with a unique design. It is used as a symbol or signal to represent something, such as a ship or a country.

For example, the American flag is a symbol of the United States of America. It has 50 stars to represent the 50 states and 13 stripes to represent the original 13 colonies. When the American flag is flown, it represents the country and its values.

Another example is the flag of convenience, which is a national flag flown by a ship that is not affiliated with that nation. This is done to avoid expensive and restrictive regulations. For instance, a shipowner may register their ship in a country like Panama or Liberia to avoid strict labor and safety regulations in their home country.

A flag of truce is a white flag used as a signal when one side in a conflict wishes to communicate with the other side. The bearers of the flag are not to be fired upon, injured, or taken prisoner as long as they carry out their mission in good faith.

These examples illustrate how flags can be used to represent something and communicate a message. They can be used to show pride in one's country or to avoid regulations in the case of a flag of convenience.

Sent in my transcript at 6 am today and it’s processing. Think it will be processed before lsac closes tmrw?

I would say it is a toss up, for how much LSAC charges us for everything they are extremely efficient in processing and sending stuff out BUT with a 30% uptake in applicants and the holidays it may be significantly slower unless it is ran through and processed by a computer program. Even if it takes them longer to process it, not like there is anyone at a school to request and review it after LSAC does their thing
Do we know if any of the t14 open at all this week
just called Fordham. they said there will be decisions going out today
