A quick definition of overseas bill of lading:

An overseas bill of lading is a document that shows that goods have been received by a carrier or shipper's agent for transportation. It is like a receipt and a contract for shipping all in one. It tells us what goods are being shipped, who is shipping them, and where they are going. It is used for shipping goods overseas by water or air. It is important because it helps keep track of goods and makes sure they get to the right place.

A more thorough explanation:

An overseas bill of lading is a document that acknowledges the receipt of goods by a carrier or shipper's agent and the contract for the transportation of those goods. It is used for overseas shipment by water or air.

For example, if a company in the United States wants to ship goods to a customer in Europe, they would use an overseas bill of lading to document the shipment and the terms of the transportation contract.

Another example would be if a company in China wants to ship goods to a customer in Australia, they would also use an overseas bill of lading to document the shipment and the terms of the transportation contract.

The examples illustrate how an overseas bill of lading is used to document the shipment of goods for international transportation and to establish the terms of the transportation contract.

as far as i know, that information is simply for data collection purposes
^

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

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

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
