A quick definition of near:

Near means close to something, not far away. It can also mean almost or closely related to something or someone, like a near miss or a near friend. In patent law, a claim is a statement that describes the unique features of an invention and defines the scope of the patent's protection. There are different types of claims, such as closed-ended claims that limit the scope to a specific list of elements, and open-ended claims that contain a nonexclusive list of elements.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Close to; not far away, almost, closely tied by blood, familiar.

Example: The neighbors' houses are near one another. (distance) He had a near miss when the car almost hit him. (degree) My brother is a near relative. (blood) She is a near friend. (familiar)

The examples illustrate how "near" can be used to describe different types of closeness, whether it's physical distance, degree, family ties, or familiarity.

Sent in my transcript at 6 am today and it’s processing. Think it will be processed before lsac closes tmrw?

I would say it is a toss up, for how much LSAC charges us for everything they are extremely efficient in processing and sending stuff out BUT with a 30% uptake in applicants and the holidays it may be significantly slower unless it is ran through and processed by a computer program. Even if it takes them longer to process it, not like there is anyone at a school to request and review it after LSAC does their thing
