A quick definition of transgression:

Transgression is an old-fashioned word that means doing something wrong. It can be a small wrong thing called a misdemeanor, like getting a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt in the car. Or it can be a big wrong thing called a felony, like stealing something very valuable. Misdemeanors are not as serious as felonies and usually result in a small punishment like paying a fine or going to jail for a short time. Felonies are very serious and can result in a long time in prison.

A more thorough explanation:

Transgression is an old-fashioned word that means the same thing as misdemeanor. A misdemeanor is a crime that is less serious than a felony. It is usually punished with a fine, penalty, forfeiture, or a short time in jail. Some examples of misdemeanors include traffic violations, disorderly conduct, and petty theft.

In some places, there are different levels of misdemeanors. A gross misdemeanor is a more serious misdemeanor, but not quite as serious as a felony. A serious misdemeanor is a type of misdemeanor that has harsher penalties than most other misdemeanors. In some cases, conduct that rises to the level of a serious misdemeanor can be charged as either a felony or a misdemeanor.

Overall, misdemeanors are less serious crimes than felonies. Felonies are crimes that are punishable by more than a year in prison. Some examples of felonies include murder, robbery, and drug trafficking.

For example, if someone gets caught shoplifting a small item from a store, they might be charged with misdemeanor theft. This means they could face a fine or a short time in jail, but not a long prison sentence. This is an example of a transgression or misdemeanor.

Anyone know how long it takes to get aid package after getting admitted to UChicago or Northwestern?
I’d ask in the t14 chat bc lol it may be a bit until you can get someone who can answer that question here

@syddak: Oof tough spot. Congrats on the As. Did either indicate either via email/mail that they would be following up with aid, and if so, did they provide a time frame? It may be acceptable to email them and indicate seat deposits are fast approaching and you are curious if you can expect further info (aid) from the school to aid u in ur decision..
