A quick definition of secondary-line injury:

Secondary-line injury: When a seller gives better prices to some customers and not others, it can hurt competition among the customers. This is called a secondary-line injury and is against the law. It is different from a primary-line injury, which happens when a seller's low prices hurt their direct competitors.

A more thorough explanation:

Secondary-line injury is a term used in antitrust law to describe the act of hindering competition among a seller's customers by offering favorable prices to one customer or a select group of customers, to the detriment of others. This practice is prohibited under the price-discrimination provisions of the Robinson-Patman Act.

For example, if a company sells a product to one customer at a lower price than it offers to other customers, it may be engaging in secondary-line injury. This can harm the other customers who are forced to pay higher prices, and it can also harm competition among the seller's customers.

Another example of secondary-line injury is when a company offers exclusive deals or discounts to a select group of customers, which can give them an unfair advantage over other customers and harm competition.

These examples illustrate how secondary-line injury can harm competition and lead to unfair pricing practices. By offering favorable prices to some customers and not others, companies can create an uneven playing field and harm the overall market.

@InsipidLemon: really depends on how much they like you. Some schools will give it to you unsolicited, others you must ask.
I decided to apply to ASU because why not cause I saw they waived the application and CAS fee
It only took like 15 minutes

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

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

I'm sure you'll get a full ride to a few schools :P
11:11
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
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)
11:19
That school’s* culture
11:23
Thanks Howl you're right :D I def talked about solving problems in my PS
12:03
@HowlEngineer: what's your dream school

"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
12:14
2024 cuz that's when you would've been admitted
I agree with Howl
12:19
Gecko what's ur dream school
Hard to say. I'm pretty firmly committed to the philly area so probably temple or villanova
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
Any advice? lol
