A quick definition of retail installment sale:

A retail installment sale is when someone buys something and pays for it in installments, meaning they make payments over time instead of paying for it all at once. Retail sales tax is a tax that is added to the price of things people buy in stores. Retainage is when a landowner holds back some of the money they owe a contractor until the construction work is finished and everything is done correctly.

A more thorough explanation:

A retail installment sale is a type of installment sale where a consumer purchases a product or service and agrees to pay for it in installments over time. This is commonly used for big-ticket items like cars, furniture, and appliances.

John wants to buy a new couch for his living room but doesn't have the money to pay for it all at once. He goes to a furniture store and agrees to a retail installment sale, where he will make monthly payments over the next two years until the couch is paid off.

Retainage is a percentage of the payment a landowner makes to a contractor that is withheld until the construction project is completed to satisfaction and all mechanic's liens are released or have expired.

Sarah hires a contractor to build a new addition onto her house. As part of the contract, she agrees to withhold 10% of the payment until the project is completed and all liens are released. This ensures that the contractor completes the project to her satisfaction and pays all subcontractors and suppliers before receiving the full payment.

My berkeley paragraph finally disappeared. I definitely think it is just an indicator that they are actively reviewing files, and does not mean anything about A, WL, or Rs

UMN under review! As predicted, decisions are gonna come out early December
Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
