A more thorough explanation:

Term: In delicto
Definition: In delicto means "in fault" in Latin. It refers to a situation where both parties involved in a wrongdoing are equally responsible. For example, if two people agree to commit a crime together, they are both in delicto. This term is often used in legal cases to describe a situation where both parties are at fault and cannot sue each other for damages.
Example: Two friends decide to rob a store together. During the robbery, one of them gets injured. Both friends are in delicto because they both agreed to commit the crime and are equally responsible for the injury. Therefore, neither of them can sue the other for damages.

the only thing stopping me from double deposit is that it was strongly frowned upon or could have adverse consequences if the schools found out

[] c0bra1

16:27

starfishies

16:27

this cycle is crazy i feel like double deposit is warranted in a lot of cases

[] c0bra1

16:28

id be down to double to get more time to choose but i think for the factors that i listed it would be unlikely for those to change in a significant way

from what ive understood villanova's 3rd market is nyc but the philly ip market is a little small, most of the ppl i talked to had WE in tech first and thats how they got related roles in 1L/2L

[] c0bra1

16:29

they're just so similar on the balancing scale that im second guessing in case im overtly wrong on one of them...but then again all my friends say to quit whining and pick cardozo lol

starfishies

16:30

starfishies

16:31

To me it seems that if you don't have all your responses yet (which all schools know it has been a crazy cycle), then you shouldn't be penalized if you put down a deposit, get a response from another school, and choose to go that direction. If the school is stinky about it, it seems you would have some recourse through LSAC

swag yeah thats cool i think ill most likely just deposit at dozo to save myself the constant back-and-forth on the decision -- i dont think ive had a conversation yet where i end up choosing nova despite my best to advocate for it lol

[] c0bra1

17:55

like i said earlier i think if the col was an issue for me id probably pick nova but my heart has always been set on ny and i think id be fine over there
