A quick definition of investigate:

Term: INVESTIGATE

Definition: Investigate means to look into something carefully and systematically. It can also mean to officially ask questions and gather information about a possible crime or wrongdoing. For example, the police might investigate a suspect to find out if they were involved in a crime.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: To systematically inquire into a matter or make a suspect the subject of a criminal inquiry. It can also mean to make an official inquiry.

1. The police investigated the suspect's involvement in the robbery.

2. The company hired a private investigator to investigate the employee's misconduct.

Most VA workers have no idea what they are doing which is why I suggested the Gold Star family member organization. They can be your advocate or guide at least to figure it out. Just have her use/set up a login.gov and that'll work across all VA website/apps. If you are a beneficiary you can set one up yourself as well.

me too at 9:51?
Will probably call the education hotline after Thanksgiving. The login.gov stuff is what she needs to get sorted out, mine still needs to verify my ID. I'll talk to the Gold Star org and see if they can help

@HopefullyInLawSchool: yep exact same time
Will it look bad if you only did 1 out of the two optional essays?

Definitely should, getting your certificate of eligibility is the easiest part. Shit gets worse once you actually try to use it so you would need to plan a good cushion of time.

@GodsPlanUltimately: I did 1 optional for each school I wasn't in love with and did all optional essays on the ones I loved. I would say the more you like the school the more you should engage with them and put into the application.

@HopefullyInLawSchool: I hope it's an all green wave

I think the UC Davis portal time/date changes if they make any decision or the regular 6:00 change
@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: I agree with you it's just that the other optional essay has to deal with diversity and the professionalism oath one takes going into law school. I just don't think I can answer their question based upon my life. Your answer is accurate though so I will think about it.

@WorthlessAttractiveZombie: well it means we aint gettin a decision

@GodsPlanUltimately: If you can't add value to your application with the essay then don't do it. No need to make the adcom read to just read
@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: Very true! Thank you.

@ThoughtlessTacitBadger: after they go through the YM applications
i only did optional essays if i thought they would add something to my app i wouldn't have otherwise
so eg i didn't do a separate DS for most schools because i talk about my identity and life experiences and shit in my personal statement so it would've been redundant
for schools that have specific prompts like duke i did them
Yeah because I mean I could talk about my religious background but I feel like it may just fall flat since I've done two options on personal experience and I dont' have any other work experience that relates to it. I just don't want it to harm me that I didn't tell them as much about my self as I could with all the statements but I'm just not sure it'll sound authentic -- even if I am passionate about my faith. So I'm heavily leaning to skip it.
i think if you only briefly mention it in your personal statement and you really talk about things like how it influences your woldview for example or how it shapes your future plans and why you want to go into law (if that's not something you talk about in your PS) that's a very solid DS
That's true. I think I should a least write a draft then to see how I feel about it. :3
if it adds to who you are as a person and why you're motivated to purse things then it's something that is valuable for adcomms to know and it comes off as genuine because it is
Honestly I wouldn't stress too hard about essays. Most essays exist purely to determine whether or not you can write, so unless you're the 1% who writes the greatest essay they've ever seen, or the 1% who writes the worst essay they've ever seen, it is not going to be the deciding factor except in the most niche of tiebreaker scenarios.
