A quick definition of violent death:

Violent death is when someone dies as a result of something bad happening to them, like getting hurt really badly or being in an accident. It's different from natural death, which is when someone dies from old age or sickness. Sometimes, when someone dies violently, it can be hard to figure out what happened or who is responsible for their death.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A death that is accelerated by human intervention and results from a sharp blow, explosion, gunfire, or similar causes. It is the opposite of natural death.

Examples: Homicide, suicide, accidental death due to violence, death in a war or terrorist attack, etc.

Explanation: Violent death occurs when a person's life is ended by external factors that cause physical harm to the body. These factors can be intentional or unintentional, but they all involve some form of violence. For example, homicide is a violent death that occurs when one person intentionally kills another. Suicide is also a violent death, but it is self-inflicted. Accidental death due to violence can happen when someone is in the wrong place at the wrong time, such as being hit by a stray bullet during a shooting. Death in a war or terrorist attack is also a violent death, as it is caused by intentional violence against a group of people.

Help us make LSD better!
Tell us what's important to you

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
