Term: HIT

Definition: A hit can mean different things depending on the context. It can be a physical strike, like when you hit a ball with a bat. In criminal law, it can refer to a murder committed for money or on orders from a gang leader, or an instance of taking drugs. In the world of computers and the internet, a hit can refer to a single instance of a computer's connection to a webpage, or a webpage identified by an internet search engine as containing words matching a user's query. Finally, a hit can also refer to a creative work that is popular or commercially successful.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A hit can mean different things depending on the context:

  1. A physical strike.
  2. In criminal law, a murder committed for money or on orders from a gang leader.
  3. In criminal law, an instance of the taking of a drug.
  4. In intellectual property, a single instance of a computer's connection to a webpage. Counters keep track of how many visitors a webpage attracts, and a large number of hits is a major selling point for advertising.
  5. In intellectual property, a webpage identified by an Internet search engine as containing words matching a user's query.
  6. A creative work that is a popular or a commercial success.

Examples:

  • He gave the punching bag a hard hit.
  • The hit on the rival gang member was ordered by the boss.
  • The athlete was caught using performance-enhancing drugs during a drug test hit.
  • The website received 10,000 hits in one day, which made it attractive to advertisers.
  • When I searched for "best pizza in town," the search engine gave me a list of hits that included several local pizzerias.
  • The new song by Taylor Swift is a hit, with millions of streams and downloads.

The examples illustrate the different meanings of the term "hit." The first three examples show the physical and criminal aspects of the term, while the fourth and fifth examples relate to the internet and technology. The last example shows how "hit" can refer to a successful creative work, such as a song or movie.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs

UMN under review! As predicted, decisions are gonna come out early December
Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
