A quick definition of savings bank:

A savings bank is a type of bank where people can deposit their money and earn interest on it. It is a safe place to keep your money and can help you save for the future. Sometimes, people can also borrow money from a savings bank to buy a house or a car. In maritime law, there is a special clause called the saving-to-suitors clause that allows people to file a lawsuit in a nonadmiralty court if they want to.

A more thorough explanation:

A savings bank is a type of bank that primarily accepts deposits from customers and pays interest on those deposits. It differs from a commercial bank in that it does not offer a wide range of financial services such as loans and credit cards.

Savings-bank trust: A type of trust account held by a savings bank on behalf of a customer.
Savings bond: A type of government bond that pays interest and is sold to individual investors.
Savings clause: A clause in a legal document that preserves certain rights or options.
Savings note: A type of promissory note issued by a savings bank.
Saving-to-suitors clause: A clause in maritime law that allows a plaintiff to file a lawsuit in a non-admiralty court.

These examples illustrate the different ways in which the term "savings bank" is used in various contexts. They show that savings banks offer different types of financial products and services, and that the term can also be used in legal contexts such as trusts and maritime law.

Gecko, I feel pretty good. Two of the RC passages had really tough inference questions -- hoping I narrowed down my answer choices correctly

ChowieBean

10:38

Very happy with LR other than having to guess on a couple questions cuz of time

i have a question about my personal statement. in my activism for the hospitality workers' union, i organized and spoke up in favor of stronger regulations on airbnb because the unregulated spread of airbnb throughout LA was inflating housing costs for workers and threatening their job security. do you think it's too divisive to mention regulating airbnb? idk

I wrote mine about how all activists should be consolidated into a large smelting pot and refined down to a viscous goo

Nostradumbass

10:45

Expecting a lot of rejections though

I'm sure you'll get a full ride to a few schools :P

HowlEngineer

The impression I get is most schools try not to judge based on the political implications of what you write about. They probably care more that you saw a problem and tried to fix it. That seems like a great thing to write a PS about @chowie

HowlEngineer

11:18

Besides, if a school didn’t let you in for trying to fix a problem you saw in your community, that doesn’t say great things about your school’s culture (assuming the thing you did showed good common sense judgment ofc)

HowlEngineer

11:19

That school’s* culture

ChowieBean

11:23

Thanks Howl you're right :D I def talked about solving problems in my PS

ChowieBean

12:03

@HowlEngineer: what's your dream school

MildChiller

12:08

"Have you applied for admission to [school] in a prior year" I applied in Oct. of the 23-24 cycle, should I put 23 or 24 as the year I applied?

MildChiller

12:09

Bcuz 2023 is when I technically applied but I applied for admissions in 2024

ChowieBean

12:14

2024 cuz that's when you would've been admitted

ErraticFearlessGecko

12:17

I agree with Howl

ChowieBean

12:19

Gecko what's ur dream school

ErraticFearlessGecko

12:20

Hard to say. I'm pretty firmly committed to the philly area so probably temple or villanova

ErraticFearlessGecko

12:20

Also relatively debt averse so I'd have to get a good scholarship from BC or Fordham to want to go but that's not very likely for me

ErraticFearlessGecko

12:21

Any advice? lol

[] baddestbunny

12:25

what’s a good scholarship for you? what would make BC or Fordham worth it?

ChowieBean

12:25

Hmmmm let me think

[] baddestbunny

12:25

fordham’s max aid they give is 45k per year

ErraticFearlessGecko

12:29

Bunny I can possibly get a 75%+ scholarship from villanova or temple, and I'd be moving back in with my parents if I went there so I'd have near-zero COL. It'd be really hard to beat that

ErraticFearlessGecko

12:29

I would prefer BC over Fordham just because I like boston more, but I'm expecting a WL there tbh

ErraticFearlessGecko

12:31

I would maybe consider BC with $ but I don't know how to decide if a better biglaw chance is worth the COL + higher tuition

How do I know if my status checkers are properly linked

HowlEngineer

12:59

@ChowieBean: right now, Michigan, but there are several that come close. How about you?

HowlEngineer

13:05

@Law01: I haven't gotten the status checkers to work at all. When I sent an email to the LSData folks the other week, they said they were working on fixing them

HowlEngineer

13:10

but I think "Last Checked" would change from "Never" to something else
