A quick definition of intermediary:

An intermediary is someone who helps two other people or groups communicate and work together. They are like a middleman or a go-between. For example, if two friends are having an argument and they can't talk to each other, an intermediary might help them talk and find a solution. In business, an intermediary might help a company find a supplier or a customer. In products liability, an intermediary is someone who is in the middle of the chain of distribution from the manufacturer to the consumer and knows about the risks of the product.

A more thorough explanation:

An intermediary is a person or organization that acts as a mediator or go-between for two or more parties. They help to facilitate communication and negotiations between these parties.

  • A real estate agent who helps a buyer and seller come to an agreement on a property sale is an intermediary.
  • A travel agent who helps a customer book a vacation package is an intermediary between the customer and the travel company.
  • In products liability, a learned intermediary is a person who is in the chain of distribution from the manufacturer to the consumer and who knows the risks of the product.

These examples illustrate how intermediaries can help to bridge the gap between two parties who may have different needs or goals. They can provide valuable expertise and guidance to help both parties reach a mutually beneficial agreement.

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

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
