A quick definition of purport:

Term: PURPORT

Definition: Purport refers to the main idea or message that is conveyed through a formal document. It can also mean to claim or profess something, even if it is not true. For example, a document may purport to be a will, but if it is not signed or dated, it may not be a valid legal document.

A more thorough explanation:

Purport (n.) refers to the idea or meaning that is conveyed or expressed, especially by a formal document.

Purport (vb.) means to profess or claim, especially falsely. It can also mean to seem to be something.

Noun: The purport of the contract was to ensure that both parties were satisfied with the terms of the agreement.

Verb: The politician purported to be a champion of the people, but his actions showed otherwise.

Another example of the verb form could be: The email purported to be from the bank, but it was actually a phishing scam.

These examples illustrate how the term "purport" can be used to describe the intended meaning or claim of a document or statement. The noun example shows how the purport of a contract is to ensure satisfaction for both parties. The verb examples show how someone can falsely claim to be something or how a document can falsely claim to be from a reputable source.

Anyone know how long it takes to get aid package after getting admitted to UChicago or Northwestern?
I’d ask in the t14 chat bc lol it may be a bit until you can get someone who can answer that question here

@syddak: Oof tough spot. Congrats on the As. Did either indicate either via email/mail that they would be following up with aid, and if so, did they provide a time frame? It may be acceptable to email them and indicate seat deposits are fast approaching and you are curious if you can expect further info (aid) from the school to aid u in ur decision..
