A quick definition of port:

Port: A place where ships go to load and unload things like cargo and people. It can also be a place where things and people enter a country and where customs officials work. There are different types of ports, like a home port (where a ship is registered or where its owner lives), a port of call (where a ship stops during a trip), and a port of delivery (where a ship unloads its cargo at the end of a trip).

A more thorough explanation:

A port is a place where ships can load and unload cargo. It can also refer to a place where people and goods are allowed to enter a country and where customs officials are stationed. Some examples of different types of ports include:

  • Port of entry: A place where people and goods can enter a country. Customs officials are stationed here to check for any illegal items or substances.
  • Foreign port: A port that is exclusively within the jurisdiction of another country or state.
  • Free port: A port located outside a country's customs frontier, where goods can be delivered without being subjected to customs-control procedures or import duties.
  • Home port: The port where a vessel is registered or where its owner resides.
  • Port of call: A port where a ship stops during a voyage.
  • Port of delivery: The port where a ship unloads its cargo at the end of a particular voyage.
  • Port of departure: The port from which a vessel departs at the start of a voyage.
  • Port of destination: The port where a voyage is intended to end, including any stopping places where cargo is loaded or unloaded.
  • Port of discharge: The place where a substantial part of the cargo is unloaded.

For example, a cargo ship may stop at a port of call to unload some of its cargo before continuing on to its port of delivery. A traveler entering a country may go through customs at a port of entry before being allowed to enter the country. A company may choose to store goods in a free port to avoid paying import duties or taxes.

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
Do we know if any of the t14 open at all this week
just called Fordham. they said there will be decisions going out today
