A quick definition of nomography:

Term: NOMOGRAPHY

Definition: Nomography is the art of making special charts that help people solve problems. These charts are called nomograms. They use lines and curves to show how different things are related to each other. Nomograms can be used to solve math problems, figure out how much medicine to give someone, or even help design a building. A treatise on the drafting of laws can also be called nomography.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Nomography is the art of creating graphical representations of mathematical relationships. It involves using a chart or graph to solve complex equations or calculations.

For example, a nomogram can be used to determine the correct dosage of medication based on a patient's weight and age. The nomogram would have lines representing different weights and ages, and where those lines intersect would indicate the appropriate dosage.

Another example of nomography is a slide rule, which was commonly used before the advent of electronic calculators. A slide rule is a type of nomogram that uses sliding scales to perform mathematical calculations.

Nomography is a useful tool for engineers, scientists, and mathematicians who need to perform complex calculations quickly and accurately. It allows them to visualize mathematical relationships and solve problems without having to rely on tedious calculations or computer programs.

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

so lit
