A quick definition of solidary obligation:

Solidary obligation is a legal term that means when two or more people owe a debt or have a duty to do something, they are all responsible for the entire debt or duty. This means that if one person cannot pay or fulfill their obligation, the others must do it for them. It is like when a group of friends borrow money together and all agree to pay it back, even if one person cannot. Solidary obligation is similar to joint and several obligation in common law.

A more thorough explanation:

A solidary obligation is a legal term that refers to an obligation that binds each of two or more debtors for the entire performance at the option of the creditor. This means that if there are multiple debtors, the creditor can choose to demand payment from any one of them for the full amount owed.

For example, if three people take out a loan together and sign a solidary obligation, the lender can demand payment from any one of them for the full amount owed. It is up to the debtors to sort out how they will split the payment among themselves.

Solidary obligations are similar to joint and several obligations in common law jurisdictions.

@llama: There was one guy who did it successfully last year, I'll see if I can find the post for you. Absolutely not a normal practice though -- nor should it be!

20:52
Imagine if you were trying to apply to law school and half the seats were already taken by schmucks from last year's waitlist
20:52
@crabapple: I would LOL. Real shyster move tho, you rite.
20:53
@Arianq4: 1. Move. 2. Pursue other, non legal work, then take a year after UG to work if u wish
20:54
A shyster: is a person who is dishonest or unethical, especially in the practice of law. The term is often used as a derogatory term for lawyers. pinnacle word choice imo.
@crabapple: mich puts it out as an option and said in a waitlist session this year that they want to take more people than normal this way due to app volume
it makes sense for me because I got a new opportunity for a year and figured it wouldn't hurt to ask
was there a vandy wave today? seems like a small one

@ReadyThinWerewolf: Yeah, I mean you got like Berk this year that hasn't dipped under 3.6. Some are like that.
0:46
nm they dipped under for like idk 10 fucking people.
0:46
Yeah, if you dont have at least a 3.7 it means you fucked around and didn't try hard in undergrad.
0:48
Here we will do Yale. 3 people got in lower than a 3.75. So yeah, some schools are practically unreachable without some insane soft if you don't have a good gpa.
