quorum call

Read a random definition: continuity-of-life doctrine

A quick definition of quorum call:

A quorum call is a process used in meetings or assemblies to determine if there are enough members present to conduct official business. If a quorum is not present, the meeting cannot proceed. Quorumless means that there are not enough members present to conduct official business. The phrase "quorum usus consistit in abusu" is a legal term that means the use of something is only valuable if it is used up or consumed.

A more thorough explanation:

A quorum call is a procedure used in parliamentary settings to determine if there are enough members present to conduct official business. It involves calling the roll of members and recording their presence or absence.

For example, in the United States Senate, a quorum call is often used to delay or prevent a vote on a particular issue. If a quorum is not present, the Senate cannot conduct official business and the vote must be postponed.

Another example is in a corporate board meeting, where a quorum call is used to ensure that enough members are present to make decisions and take action on behalf of the company.

Overall, a quorum call is an important tool for ensuring that decisions are made by a sufficient number of people and that the outcome is legitimate.

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

CaringEquableGuppy
13:42
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
