several tenancy

Read a random definition: money service business

A quick definition of several tenancy:

Several tenancy refers to the possession or occupancy of land or property by one person, without any joint ownership with another person. It can be held under a lease or by right of ownership through a deed or will. This type of tenancy is separate and distinct from any other ownership interests in the property.

A more thorough explanation:

Several tenancy refers to a type of tenancy where a person holds possession of a property separately and not jointly with another person. It is a form of possession or occupancy of land under a lease or a conveying instrument such as a deed or will.

John and Mary own a property as tenants in common. John sells his share to Peter, who now owns the property with Mary as several tenants.
Tom leases a commercial space from a landlord for a fixed term of five years. He has several tenancy rights to the property during the lease period.

These examples illustrate that in several tenancy, each person has a separate and distinct right to possess the property, and their interests are not tied to each other.

CLS is my dream school and the only reason I am considering reapplying is to probably score higher and have better chances there, so fingers crossed they're chill about it

with that targeted goal/ willingness to take a year to improve score, and from what you have said, it seems like a great option to reapply early next cycle w/ a higher score. best of luck!

guys is there any chance for me to get into T14s? I applied to some but was convinced to apply to the rest, just feel its too late in the cycle for my stats (170 3.68)

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

15:13

more likely than not you make it into at least one t14

InsipidLemon

15:14

Hey long time no see hahaha, the prob with that is it has the range of up to 172, Im only 170

InsipidLemon

15:14

If u have the top range at my stats, there's only like 9 ppl who made it into T14s

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

15:15

yeah but it's also including people below your stats

InsipidLemon

15:15

Yeah, really my issue is deciding whether to R&R or to just take UF law

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

15:16

also if you reduce the top end of lsat to 170, you have a 33% chance at NYU+columbia, 67% at NU, 33 at mich, 40% berk, 40% UCLA, 100% Cornell, and 50% gulc

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

15:16

realistically you would make it into at least one

InsipidLemon

15:16

I'm still waiting on a bunch of T14 so hopefully those stats are a good indicator

llama

15:16

idk wait it out - if good offer take if no good offer R&R

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

15:16

i dont think you need to R&R im pretty sure you make it into at least one t14

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

15:16

but if you apply earlier its just a lot easier

InsipidLemon

15:17

thats odd I didn't see those stats, but ok. We talked abt this awhile back and I'm working on Columbia + Berkeley rn then Cornell, probs is I'm not gonna produce good Why X's before the 25th but whatever

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

15:18

https://www.lsd.law/search/cV9E6 this is artificially deflated because it's only below your stats

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

15:19

someone got into harvard and chicago with your stats

InsipidLemon

15:19

Why is that deflating it? isnt that a better indicator instead of choosing above median LSATs? Genuinely curious just wondering

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

15:20

when stats are close because of the variability you want a little above your stats and a little below to get more data, adcoms arent so finnicky that 2 points on the lsat is make or break unless it puts you above median, and even then 50% are below median so it's not as big of an impact as you might think. the reason the chanceme tool goes a little above and below your stats by default is to capture a more accurate picture

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

15:21

ie your softs/WE/essays might make you more or less competitive than any random applicant and the best way to account for that is to take a little above and a little below

InsipidLemon

15:21

got it, I was of the mindset that medians are pretty concrete so taking a +2 LSAT score range was just giving me irrelevant data. Thank you

InsipidLemon

15:21

Def my softs/essays are the strongest part of my application so hoping they shine through

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

15:21

they kind of are but you see with the data here is doesnt really change your chances going from 172 to 170

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

15:22

yeah youll be in a good place for this cycle

InsipidLemon

15:22

yeah I guess thats true, I've also been looking at "Included" not "Only" for URM so maybe that's a diff too

InsipidLemon

15:22

Appreciate it man!

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

15:23

yeah included is giving you data for nURM which isnt relevant for your cycle

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

15:23

and ofc, good luck :)
