A quick definition of life policy:

A life policy is a type of insurance that pays out money when someone dies. It's like a contract between the person who buys the policy and the insurance company. There are many different types of policies, like ones that cover accidents or ones that cover property damage. Some policies require regular payments, while others only pay out if something specific happens. Insurance companies use a process called rating to decide how much someone should pay for their policy.

A more thorough explanation:

A life policy is a type of insurance policy that provides coverage for the policyholder's life. It requires lifetime annual fixed premiums and becomes payable only upon the death of the insured. This policy is also known as a regular life policy.

  • Term Policy: A life-insurance policy that gives protection for a specified period, but that does not have a cash value or reserve value.
  • Endowment Policy: A life-insurance policy payable at the end of a specified period, if the insured survives that period, or upon the insured's death if death occurs before the end of the period.
  • Joint Life Policy: A life-insurance policy that matures and becomes due upon the death of any of those jointly insured.

These examples illustrate different types of life policies that provide coverage for different periods and under different circumstances. They all require the policyholder to pay premiums regularly to keep the policy in force. The policy pays out a benefit upon the occurrence of a specific event, such as the death of the insured or the end of a specified period.

The impression I get is most schools try not to judge based on the political implications of what you write about. They probably care more that you saw a problem and tried to fix it. That seems like a great thing to write a PS about @chowie
11:18
Besides, if a school didn’t let you in for trying to fix a problem you saw in your community, that doesn’t say great things about your school’s culture (assuming the thing you did showed good common sense judgment ofc)
11:19
That school’s* culture
11:23
Thanks Howl you're right :D I def talked about solving problems in my PS
12:03
@HowlEngineer: what's your dream school

"Have you applied for admission to [school] in a prior year" I applied in Oct. of the 23-24 cycle, should I put 23 or 24 as the year I applied?
MildChiller
12:09
Bcuz 2023 is when I technically applied but I applied for admissions in 2024
12:14
2024 cuz that's when you would've been admitted
I agree with Howl
12:19
Gecko what's ur dream school
Hard to say. I'm pretty firmly committed to the philly area so probably temple or villanova
Also relatively debt averse so I'd have to get a good scholarship from BC or Fordham to want to go but that's not very likely for me
Any advice? lol

12:25
what’s a good scholarship for you? what would make BC or Fordham worth it?
12:25
Hmmmm let me think

fordham’s max aid they give is 45k per year
Bunny I can possibly get a 75%+ scholarship from villanova or temple, and I'd be moving back in with my parents if I went there so I'd have near-zero COL. It'd be really hard to beat that
I would prefer BC over Fordham just because I like boston more, but I'm expecting a WL there tbh
I would maybe consider BC with $ but I don't know how to decide if a better biglaw chance is worth the COL + higher tuition

How do I know if my status checkers are properly linked
12:59
@ChowieBean: right now, Michigan, but there are several that come close. How about you?
13:05
@Law01: I haven't gotten the status checkers to work at all. When I sent an email to the LSData folks the other week, they said they were working on fixing them
13:10
but I think "Last Checked" would change from "Never" to something else
13:30
@HowlEngineer: I'll get more specific once I get my LSAT score, but NYU, Berk, GTown, UCLA
13:30
Anywhere that's top for PI
