preexisting condition

Read a random definition: contrary to law

A quick definition of preexisting condition:

A preexisting condition is a health problem that someone had before they got insurance. If someone has a preexisting condition, their insurance might not cover treatment for that condition. It's like if you had a broken toy before you got a warranty, the warranty might not cover fixing the broken toy.

A more thorough explanation:

A preexisting condition is a physical or mental health condition that existed before the effective date of a medical insurance policy. If symptoms of the condition were present during the period before the policy was effective, coverage for later treatment for such a condition is usually excluded. For example, if someone has a history of heart disease and then buys a health insurance policy, any future treatment related to their heart disease may not be covered. Another example is if someone has a chronic illness like diabetes before buying a health insurance policy, any treatment related to their diabetes may not be covered. These examples illustrate how a preexisting condition can affect coverage under a medical insurance policy. Insurance companies may exclude coverage for preexisting conditions to avoid paying for treatment that was already needed before the policy was in effect. A preexisting condition is an important concept in the world of medical insurance. It is important for individuals to understand whether their medical conditions are considered preexisting before purchasing a policy. This can help them make informed decisions about their coverage and avoid unexpected medical bills.

What does "Hold" mean on the result column?
21:28
@ClockworkBlue: on LSD?
yeah
babycat

A hold is not exactly a waitlist, but it means they’re waiting to give you a decision later
babycat
21:31
@llama: nice
21:32
@ClockworkBlue: what babycat said, the link reads as the school always initiates the 'hold' status, however [in my case] sometimes applicants ask to be placed on 'hold' pending a score (LSAT, final semester of UG, etc).
21:32
@babycat: just had to get that off my chest.
cornell kira is just about performing well under pressure and having substantive content in your questions
so just try to stay calm and pace your responses so you give good answers during the interview
21:44

yeah pretty much, you get some leniency too. they expect you to not be perfect under pressure
