A quick definition of meliorations:

Term: Meliorations

Definition: Meliorations refer to lasting improvements made to an estate by a tenant or liferenter, which are different from repairs. These improvements cannot be charged to the landlord or fiar. In simpler terms, meliorations are changes made to a property that make it better and more valuable, but the landlord or owner is not responsible for paying for them.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Meliorations are lasting improvements made to an estate by a tenant or liferenter, according to Scots law. These improvements go beyond simple repairs and can include things like renovations, landscaping, or the addition of new structures. The cost of meliorations cannot be recovered from the landlord or fiar.

  • A tenant builds a new shed on the property to store tools and equipment. This is considered a melioration because it is a lasting improvement to the estate.
  • Another tenant installs a new irrigation system to improve the quality of the land for farming. This is also a melioration because it is a lasting improvement that goes beyond simple repairs.

These examples illustrate how meliorations are different from repairs. Repairs are necessary to maintain the property and keep it in good condition, but meliorations are optional improvements that enhance the value of the estate. They are made by the tenant or liferenter, not the landlord or fiar, and cannot be recovered in cost.

So what exactly does the index number mean

if i was Tex I wouldn’t worry about index numbers. they’re just LSAT and GPA reformulated into an index. you’re above them. end of story

12:17
Yeah, that’s fair. And clearly being above them is meaningless

the index seems applicable for splitters or low score ppl.
12:20
to assess their value to each school
12:20
Index numbers seem useful mostly to help you see how soon your app might be reviewed after submitting, since admissions officers are incentivized to make decisions on high performers early. But I’m not actually sure how useful that is in reality lol. It could also give some hints on how much a school weighs gpa vs lsat
12:20
yeah tldr mathy astrology for admissions lmfao
12:21
but but but correlation within the data set always is causation. -155 scorer be like
12:22
