parvis

Read a random definition: Office of National Drug Control Policy

A quick definition of parvis:

Parvis: A fancy word for a type of school exercise called a moot court. It's like pretending to be a lawyer and arguing a case in front of a judge.

Pass: There are a few different meanings for this word. It can mean to give an opinion or decision, like a judge does in court. It can also mean to transfer something, like when someone gives you a house or a car. Sometimes it means to approve or certify something, like when a mechanic says a car is okay to drive. And sometimes it means to go beyond something, like when a court decides not to hear a case because they're too busy with other trials.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Parvis (pahr-vis) refers to an academic exercise, such as a moot court. It comes from the Old French word "pareis" meaning "paradise," which comes from the Late Latin word "paradsus" meaning "garden," which comes from the Greek word "paradeises."

Example: In law school, students often participate in parvis exercises, where they argue a hypothetical case in front of a mock court.

Explanation: The example illustrates how parvis is used in an academic setting, specifically in law school. Students participate in a parvis exercise to practice their argumentation skills and gain experience in a courtroom-like setting.

Definition: Pass has several meanings:

  1. To pronounce or render an opinion, ruling, sentence, or judgment. For example, "The judge passed a sentence of 10 years in prison."
  2. To transfer or be transferred. For example, "The ownership of the house passed to the nephew after the woman's death."
  3. To enact a legislative bill or resolution. For example, "Congress passed a law to increase funding for education."
  4. To approve or certify something as meeting specified requirements. For example, "The inspector passed the car after it passed inspection."
  5. To publish, transfer, or circulate something, often a forgery. For example, "The man was arrested for passing counterfeit bills."
  6. To forgo or proceed beyond. For example, "The judge passed on the case because of a conflict of interest."
  7. To abstain from doing something. For example, "I will pass on dessert."

Example: The teacher passed out the homework assignment to the students.

Explanation: The example illustrates how pass can mean to transfer or distribute something. In this case, the teacher passed out the homework assignment to the students.

How long can I delay sending my fall grades if they hurt my GPA? I’m still waiting on decisions and ideally I’m hoping they decide BEFORE seeing my new grades
TGM

dropped my GPA below median for a couple of schools I’m applying to, when I was above median before
Dkk
18:32
@TGM: Not long enough to get another transcript to recover.
Dkk
18:33
Honestly you could just wait until someone actually asks for your fall grades. Who knows.
Dkk
18:34
@wigwav: It looks like if below medians it will not help but If applying in November it seems you are still middle of the cycle.

@wigwav: nah
