receiving state

Read a random definition: judicial dictum

A quick definition of receiving state:

A receiving state is a country where a diplomat or consul is sent by their own country to work. It's like sending someone to another place to represent you. A state is a group of people who live in a certain area and have their own government. Some states are part of a bigger country, and some are their own country. A state can also be a part of a nation that has a federal government. The people of a state can also be called "the State" when they are the ones who were harmed by a crime and are seeking justice.

A more thorough explanation:

A receiving state is a country to which a diplomatic agent or consul is sent by the country represented by that agent. It is the country that receives the representative of another country.

For example, if the United States sends an ambassador to France, France is the receiving state. The ambassador represents the United States in France and is subject to the laws and regulations of France while carrying out their duties.

Another example is when a foreign student comes to study in the United States. The United States is the receiving state, and the student is subject to the laws and regulations of the United States while they are studying here.

Overall, a receiving state is a country that receives a representative of another country and is responsible for ensuring their safety and security while they carry out their duties.

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
