protocol

Read a random definition: corrector of the staple

A quick definition of protocol:

A protocol is a set of rules that tells us how to do something. It can be rules for how computers talk to each other, rules for how to write down what happened in a meeting, or rules for how to behave in a formal situation like meeting important people.

A more thorough explanation:

A protocol is a set of rules that governs how data is treated and formatted in an electronic communications system. It can also refer to a summary document or meeting minutes that are initialed by the attendees to indicate their accuracy. Additionally, a protocol can be a set of rules that require strict adherence to proper manners and procedures, such as in diplomatic exchanges or military services.

  • The Internet Protocol (IP) is a set of rules that governs how data is transmitted over the internet.
  • After a meeting, the attendees may sign a protocol to confirm that the minutes accurately reflect what was discussed.
  • In the military, soldiers must follow a strict protocol when handling classified information.

These examples illustrate how a protocol is a set of rules that dictate how things should be done in a particular context. Whether it's transmitting data over the internet, documenting meeting minutes, or handling classified information, protocols ensure that everyone follows the same rules and procedures to maintain accuracy, security, and efficiency.

guys is there any chance for me to get into T14s? I applied to some but was convinced to apply to the rest, just feel its too late in the cycle for my stats (170 3.68)
more likely than not you make it into at least one t14
15:14
Hey long time no see hahaha, the prob with that is it has the range of up to 172, Im only 170
15:14
If u have the top range at my stats, there's only like 9 ppl who made it into T14s
yeah but it's also including people below your stats
15:15
Yeah, really my issue is deciding whether to R&R or to just take UF law
also if you reduce the top end of lsat to 170, you have a 33% chance at NYU+columbia, 67% at NU, 33 at mich, 40% berk, 40% UCLA, 100% Cornell, and 50% gulc
realistically you would make it into at least one
15:16
I'm still waiting on a bunch of T14 so hopefully those stats are a good indicator
15:16
idk wait it out - if good offer take if no good offer R&R
i dont think you need to R&R im pretty sure you make it into at least one t14
but if you apply earlier its just a lot easier
15:17
thats odd I didn't see those stats, but ok. We talked abt this awhile back and I'm working on Columbia + Berkeley rn then Cornell, probs is I'm not gonna produce good Why X's before the 25th but whatever
https://www.lsd.law/search/cV9E6 this is artificially deflated because it's only below your stats
someone got into harvard and chicago with your stats
15:19
Why is that deflating it? isnt that a better indicator instead of choosing above median LSATs? Genuinely curious just wondering
when stats are close because of the variability you want a little above your stats and a little below to get more data, adcoms arent so finnicky that 2 points on the lsat is make or break unless it puts you above median, and even then 50% are below median so it's not as big of an impact as you might think. the reason the chanceme tool goes a little above and below your stats by default is to capture a more accurate picture
ie your softs/WE/essays might make you more or less competitive than any random applicant and the best way to account for that is to take a little above and a little below
15:21
got it, I was of the mindset that medians are pretty concrete so taking a +2 LSAT score range was just giving me irrelevant data. Thank you
15:21
Def my softs/essays are the strongest part of my application so hoping they shine through
they kind of are but you see with the data here is doesnt really change your chances going from 172 to 170
yeah youll be in a good place for this cycle
15:22
yeah I guess thats true, I've also been looking at "Included" not "Only" for URM so maybe that's a diff too
15:22
Appreciate it man!
yeah included is giving you data for nURM which isnt relevant for your cycle
and ofc, good luck :)
