leave

Read a random definition: point of fact

A quick definition of leave:

Leave can mean different things depending on how it's used. As a noun, it means going away or taking a break from work or military duties. As a verb, it can mean giving something to someone after you die, or simply going away from a place on purpose. It can also mean leaving something for someone to pick up later, like a letter or package.

A more thorough explanation:

leave, n.

  1. Departure; the act of going away. Example: "He said his goodbyes and took his leave."
  2. Extended absence for which one has authorization; especially, a voluntary vacation from military duties with the chance to visit home; furlough. Example: "He went on a three-month leave from the Army."
  3. Permission. Example: "He was allowed to enter the building by leave of court."

leave, vb.

  1. To give by will; to bequeath or devise. Example: "She left her house to her daughter."
  2. To be survived by. Example: "He left no children."
  3. To depart; voluntarily go away; quit (a place). Example: "He left the party early."
  4. To depart willfully with the intent not to return. Example: "She left her hometown and moved to the city."
  5. To deliver (a summons, money, an article, etc.) by dropping off at a certain place, especially to await the return of someone; especially, to post (a copy of a writ, etc.). Example: "He left the package at the front desk."

These examples illustrate the different meanings of the word "leave." For example, in the first noun definition, "took his leave" means that the person is departing or leaving. In the second noun definition, "three-month leave" means that the person is authorized to be absent from their military duties. In the first verb definition, "left her house to her daughter" means that the person gave their house to their daughter in their will. In the fourth verb definition, "left her hometown and moved to the city" means that the person voluntarily departed from their hometown with no intention of returning.

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
