gross weight

Read a random definition: beta-test agreement

A quick definition of gross weight:

Gross weight refers to the total weight of an object, including its contents and any packaging. It is the measure of how heavy something is. On the other hand, net weight is the weight of the object after deducting its container, wrapping, and any other extraneous matter. This is sometimes shortened to just "net" and is also known as "neat weight".

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Gross weight refers to the total weight of a thing, including its contents and any packaging.

Example: If you buy a bag of chips, the gross weight would include the weight of the chips and the weight of the bag they come in.

Explanation: The example illustrates that gross weight takes into account the weight of the entire package, including the contents. In this case, the gross weight of the bag of chips would be the weight of the chips plus the weight of the bag.

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?
Law-Guy
13:35
Na, it's when they have all the required information
KeenHeartbreakingRattlesnake
13:35
Gotcha. So what would be the difference between received and completed?
KeenHeartbreakingRattlesnake
13:35
Does complete entail like the app + LORs?
info-man
13:35
correct
KeenHeartbreakingRattlesnake
13:36
That makes sense. Thank you!

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
info-man

How do you know when an application is complete? Is it on LSAC or the school's portal?
info-man
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"

anyone have good resources for revising a personal statement for reuse after applying with it last cycle?

Any guesses when Cornell and Penn CRS fee waivers will go out?
info-man
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
info-man
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

@oakenrays: I was just gonna write a new one personally but I think you want to make it recognizably different from your previous PS
oakenrays
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

The reason why today’s Image-Fiction isn’t the rescue from a passive, addictive TV-psychology that it tries so hard to be is that most Image-Fiction writers render their material with the same tone of irony and self-consciousness that their ancestors, the literary insurgents of Beat and postmodernism, used so effectively to rebel against their own world and context. And the reason why this irreverent postmodern approach fails to help the new Imagists transfigure TV is simply that TV has beaten the new Imagists to the punch.
