Set

Read a random definition: confine

A quick definition of Set:

A set is when you schedule something to happen at a certain time. For example, you might set a date for a party or set a time for a meeting. In some cases, like with a bill of exchange, a set refers to multiple parts that make up one whole thing.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Set, when used as a verb, means to schedule or arrange.

For example, you can set a meeting with your boss for next week or set a reminder on your phone to call your friend on their birthday.

In the context of a bill of exchange, a set refers to a bill that is drawn in several parts. These parts, when combined, form one bill. For instance, a foreign bill of exchange may be drawn in three parts, and each part is called a set. When all three sets are presented together, they form one complete bill.

For instance, if a company in the United States wants to pay a supplier in Japan, they may use a bill of exchange. The supplier in Japan would receive the bill in three parts, and they would need to present all three sets to their bank to receive payment.

"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?

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

12:25
what’s a good scholarship for you? what would make BC or Fordham worth it?
12:25
Hmmmm let me think

fordham’s max aid they give is 45k per year
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
I would prefer BC over Fordham just because I like boston more, but I'm expecting a WL there tbh
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
12:59
@ChowieBean: right now, Michigan, but there are several that come close. How about you?
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
13:10
but I think "Last Checked" would change from "Never" to something else
13:30
@HowlEngineer: I'll get more specific once I get my LSAT score, but NYU, Berk, GTown, UCLA
13:30
Anywhere that's top for PI

What do people typically write in the 'Optional Statement' for Georgetown
15:25

15:28
So many apps want 'post-college activities' time to get a fuckin job
15:55

[] baddestbunny
16:01
They make the Yale app a lot of work to filter out the people who don’t really want it like that
16:25
@ChowieBean: i made a silly video for my optional statement :3
