A quick definition of quick asset:

A quick asset is something that a person or company owns that has value and can be easily turned into cash. This includes things like money in the bank, inventory, equipment, and accounts receivable. Quick assets are important because they can be used to pay bills or debts quickly if needed. Other types of assets, like property or investments, may take longer to turn into cash and are not considered quick assets.

A more thorough explanation:

A quick asset is an item that is owned and has value. It is readily convertible into cash, such as a marketable security, a note, or an account receivable. Current assets are examples of quick assets, which are expected to be converted to cash, sold, or consumed during the next twelve months. These assets are important for a business to have because they can be used to pay off debts or invest in new opportunities.

For example, a company may have accounts receivable from customers who have not yet paid for their purchases. These accounts receivable are quick assets because they can be converted into cash relatively quickly. Another example of a quick asset is inventory that a company plans to sell in the near future.

Quick assets are important for a company's liquidity, which is its ability to meet short-term obligations. If a company has a lot of quick assets, it is considered to be more liquid and less risky than a company with fewer quick assets.

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
