A more thorough explanation:

IO

IO stands for Bureau of International Organization Affairs.

The Bureau of International Organization Affairs (IO) is a part of the United States Department of State. It is responsible for managing the United States' relationships with international organizations such as the United Nations, NATO, and the World Health Organization.

IO works to promote U.S. interests in international organizations by advocating for policies that align with U.S. priorities. For example, IO may work to ensure that the United Nations adopts resolutions that support U.S. foreign policy goals.

IO also provides support to U.S. ambassadors and diplomats who work with international organizations. For example, IO may provide guidance on how to navigate the complex procedures of the United Nations or how to build relationships with other member states.

Imagine that the United States wants to promote democracy and human rights around the world. IO would work to ensure that the United Nations adopts resolutions that support these goals. IO would also provide guidance to U.S. diplomats on how to build relationships with other member states to advance these priorities.

Help us make LSD better!
Tell us what's important to you
just tell them you're applying to monsters university
13:34
as far as i know, that information is simply for data collection purposes
^
13:34
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
CaringEquableGuppy
13:42
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
so lit
