A quick definition of going concern:

Going concern is a fancy accounting term that means a business is doing well and can keep going for a long time. If a company is not a going concern anymore, it has to tell everyone on its financial statements. This is different from businesses that are being sold or broken up.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Going concern is a term used in accounting to describe a business that is financially stable and can operate with the expectation of indefinite existence. If a company is no longer considered a going concern, it must disclose specific information on its financial statements. In bankruptcy law, going concerns are distinguished from businesses that are being liquidated or broken into smaller entities.

Example 1: ABC Company has been in business for 20 years and has consistently made a profit. It has a strong customer base and a good reputation in the industry. Based on these factors, ABC Company is considered a going concern.

Example 2: XYZ Company has been struggling financially for the past year. It has been losing money and has had to lay off employees. If XYZ Company cannot turn its financial situation around, it may no longer be considered a going concern.

These examples illustrate the concept of going concern by showing how a company's financial stability and ability to continue operating indefinitely are important factors in determining whether it is a going concern or not. In Example 1, ABC Company's long history of profitability and strong reputation indicate that it is likely to continue operating successfully in the future. In Example 2, XYZ Company's recent financial struggles suggest that it may not be able to continue operating indefinitely if it cannot improve its financial situation.

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
CaringEquableGuppy
13:42
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
Quillinit
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
