A quick definition of territorial property:

Term: Territorial Property

Definition: Territorial property refers to land and water that a state has control over, whether it is owned by the state or a private individual or entity. This means that the state has the power to make decisions about how the land and water are used and who can access them. For example, lakes and waters that are completely within a state's borders are usually considered the state's property. However, bays and gulfs may not always be recognized as state property.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Territorial property refers to land and water that a state has jurisdiction and control over, regardless of whether the legal title is held by the state or a private individual or entity. This includes lakes and waters that are wholly within a state, as well as the marginal sea within the three-mile limit. However, bays and gulfs may not always be recognized as state property.

Examples:

  • A lake located entirely within the borders of a state is considered territorial property of that state. For example, Lake Tahoe is located in California and Nevada, but each state has jurisdiction over the portion of the lake within its borders.
  • The marginal sea within the three-mile limit is also considered territorial property. For example, the United States has jurisdiction and control over the waters within three miles of its coastline.
  • However, bays and gulfs may not always be recognized as state property. For example, the Gulf of Mexico is not considered territorial property of any one state, but rather is shared by several states and countries.

The examples illustrate how territorial property can vary depending on the location and type of body of water. It is important for states to have jurisdiction and control over their territorial property in order to regulate activities such as fishing, boating, and resource extraction.

i don't think it has a detrimental effect on your chances of admission
13:34
but also you don't need to tell them anything so lol
Can y'all help me understand something lol. What does it mean for an app to "go complete"? Is that when the school has reviewed it and made a decision?
13:35
Na, it's when they have all the required information
Gotcha. So what would be the difference between received and completed?
Does complete entail like the app + LORs?
13:35
correct
That makes sense. Thank you!
13:36
complete basically means they've acknowledged receipt and it's ready to go under review whenever they start the deliberative process

I still haven't had Chicago or Cornell go complete, but I think that's just how they be
13:41
when did you submit
CaringEquableGuppy
13:42
How do you know when an application is complete? Is it on LSAC or the school's portal?
13:43
it'll be on the school-specific portal
Quillinit
13:44
when they opened
Quillinit
13:45
they both say something along the lines of "received and waiting to be processed"
13:48
anyone have good resources for revising a personal statement for reuse after applying with it last cycle?
13:49
Any guesses when Cornell and Penn CRS fee waivers will go out?
13:51
@Quillinit: from my recollection, chicago and cornell collapse complete/UR1 into a single step, so they may simply not be ready to begin reviewing applications
13:52
i think it's fair to assume, barring a handful of schools like UVA, most schools won't begin reviewing applications in earnest until the beginning of next month at the earliest, so it wouldn't be surprising to hear that applications are just sitting in the queue
13:54
@oakenrays: I was just gonna write a new one personally but I think you want to make it recognizably different from your previous PS
13:56
@baddestbunny: definitely agree that some revision and additional information is warranted but, my why law is the same... I guess just tell the same story in a different way
14:03
ugh fineeee I'll write a new stupid essay
14:07
yeah I told my last essay about a formative experience and am trying to update it now to be about what I’ve learned since that experience
recently wrapped up interview
i re-wrote my PS this cycle when I reapplied
fire drill at work
