A quick definition of person-endangering state of mind:

Person-Endangering State of Mind: This means that someone wants to hurt or kill another person, or they don't care if their actions could hurt or kill someone. It can also refer to someone who is committing a very dangerous crime.

A more thorough explanation:

Person-endangering state of mind refers to an intention to cause harm to another person. This can include:

Intent to kill
Intent to inflict great bodily injury
Acting in wanton disregard of an unreasonable risk
Perpetrating a dangerous felony

For example, if someone plans to shoot another person, they have a person-endangering state of mind. Similarly, if someone drives recklessly and puts others in danger, they are acting with a person-endangering state of mind.

It's important to note that this state of mind doesn't necessarily mean that the person actually caused harm to another person. It simply means that they had the intention to do so.

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?

Law-Guy

13:35

Na, it's when they have all the required information

KeenHeartbreakingRattlesnake

13:35

Gotcha. So what would be the difference between received and completed?

KeenHeartbreakingRattlesnake

13:35

Does complete entail like the app + LORs?

info-man

13:35

correct

KeenHeartbreakingRattlesnake

13:36

That makes sense. Thank you!

info-man

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

info-man

13:41

when did you submit

CaringEquableGuppy

13:42

How do you know when an application is complete? Is it on LSAC or the school's portal?

info-man

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"

anyone have good resources for revising a personal statement for reuse after applying with it last cycle?

Law-Guy

13:49

Any guesses when Cornell and Penn CRS fee waivers will go out?

info-man

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

info-man

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

@oakenrays: I was just gonna write a new one personally but I think you want to make it recognizably different from your previous PS

oakenrays

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

oakenrays

14:03
