A quick definition of probation-violation warrant:

A probation-violation warrant is a legal document that allows law enforcement to arrest someone who has violated the terms of their probation. It is like a permission slip for the police to take someone into custody. Warrants can also be used for other things, like searching for evidence or arresting someone for a crime. It is important for warrants to be issued only when there is good reason to believe that someone has done something wrong, and for the warrant to be specific about what the police are allowed to do.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A warrant issued for the arrest of a convict who has violated the terms of probation, parole, or supervised release.

Example: John was released on probation after serving time for theft. One of the conditions of his probation was that he could not leave the state without permission. However, he left the state without permission, violating the terms of his probation. A probation-violation warrant was issued for his arrest.

Explanation: The example illustrates how a probation-violation warrant is issued when a convict violates the terms of their probation, parole, or supervised release. In this case, John violated the condition of his probation by leaving the state without permission, which led to the issuance of a probation-violation warrant for his arrest.

Help us make LSD better!
Tell us what's important to you

as far as i know, that information is simply for data collection purposes
^
13:34
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

I still haven't had Chicago or Cornell go complete, but I think that's just how they be

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
Quillinit
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
fire drill at work
so lit
