A quick definition of mortgage company:

A mortgage company is a business that gives people money to buy a house. They then sell or give that loan to someone else who will make money from it.

A more thorough explanation:

MORTGAGE COMPANY

A mortgage company is a business that provides loans to people who want to buy a home. The company then sells or transfers these loans to investors who make money from the interest paid by the borrower.

For example, if you want to buy a house but don't have enough money to pay for it all at once, you can go to a mortgage company to get a loan. The mortgage company will give you the money you need to buy the house, and you will pay it back over time with interest. The mortgage company may then sell your loan to an investor who will make money from the interest you pay.

Another example is if you already have a mortgage but want to refinance it to get a lower interest rate. You can go to a mortgage company to see if they can offer you a better deal. If they can, they will give you a new loan to pay off your old one, and then sell or transfer the new loan to investors.

A mortgage company is a type of financial institution that specializes in providing loans for people who want to buy a home. They make money by charging interest on these loans, and then selling or transferring the loans to investors who make money from the interest paid by the borrower. The examples illustrate how a mortgage company works by showing how they provide loans to people who want to buy a home or refinance their existing mortgage, and then sell or transfer these loans to investors.

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

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
