A quick definition of stet:

STET: A word that means "let it stand." It can be used in two different ways. In Maryland, it is used to stop legal proceedings when a prosecutor decides not to continue with a case. In editing, it is an instruction to leave a text as it is without making any changes.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Stet (stet), n. is a Latin term that means "let it stand." It has two meanings:

  1. An order that stops legal proceedings, usually when a prosecutor decides not to proceed with a case and puts it on a stet docket. This term is commonly used in Maryland.
  2. An editor's instruction to leave a text as it is.

Example 1: The prosecutor decided not to pursue the case, so the judge issued a stet order, and the case was put on hold.

Example 2: The editor reviewed the manuscript and decided to leave the text as it was, so he wrote "stet" in the margin.

Both examples illustrate the use of the term "stet" in different contexts. In the first example, the term is used in a legal context, where a prosecutor decides not to proceed with a case, and the judge issues a stet order to put the case on hold. In the second example, the term is used in an editorial context, where an editor decides to leave the text as it is and writes "stet" in the margin to indicate that no changes should be made.

How long can I delay sending my fall grades if they hurt my GPA? I’m still waiting on decisions and ideally I’m hoping they decide BEFORE seeing my new grades
TGM
18:27
dropped my GPA below median for a couple of schools I’m applying to, when I was above median before

18:32
@TGM: Not long enough to get another transcript to recover.
Dkk
18:33
Honestly you could just wait until someone actually asks for your fall grades. Who knows.
Dkk
18:34
@wigwav: It looks like if below medians it will not help but If applying in November it seems you are still middle of the cycle.
18:34
@wigwav: nah
TGM
18:34

Dkk
18:35
@TGM: Expected to send it unprompted but you can wait and see.
18:36
Is your LSAT also below median?
TGM
18:37
It’s above median, but I’m applying T6 with unimpressive softs, so even with a good LSAT it’s tough
texaslawhopefully
18:38

texaslawhopefully
18:38

TGM
18:39
@texaslawhopefully: alas, haven’t even gotten an interview (applied around thanksgiving)

TGM
18:40
I actually do have a transcript issue that registrar needs to resolve, should I say that
TGM
18:41
(Course marked as Incomplete that’s supposed to be removed)
TGM
18:41
not sure if I should email them to say that, or just hold off on sending it and not give an excuse
18:41
