A quick definition of voyage policy:

A voyage policy is a type of insurance policy that covers a ship or its cargo during a specific journey. It is a contract between the insurer and the insured, which details the terms of the coverage. Other types of insurance policies include accident policies, which cover bodily injuries resulting from accidents, and homeowner's policies, which cover various risks such as fire, water damage, and burglary. Insurance premiums are the payments made by the insured to the insurer for the coverage provided. Insurance rating is the process by which the insurer determines the premium for a particular risk. Insurance Services Office is a nonprofit organization that provides analytical and decision-support services to the insurance industry, including statistical data and model insurance policy forms.

@SuperficialBlueWeasel: The reality is you are likely behind a gaggle of Sept-Oct. applicants. THe schools are backed up with apps. Some are fast, others are really slow. Also some schools may have had adcoms retire/ shortage of cannonfadder app readers. Try to chill out/research the schools you have applied to so when you get an answer you can move quick and lock up a deal/

In the event you have not received an admissions decision yet, have you tried turning your computer on and off, have you tried checking your span, and have you ensured your email inbox is not full?

I was interested in applying to 'Bama law. Called them up, asked if they had any distant cousins attending their institution based on family name/ Ancestry.con DNA. They did not. I replied I was regrettably no longer interested in their institution.

I wonder if schools are punishing R&R's with no increases to GPA or LSAT.

JuicyApple

20:40

Or no new work experience.

Last cycle people who are too burnt to go get something impressive to add to their resume and application.

@JuicyApple: Oh no doubt. Wouldn't you be perturbed if you rejected someone and they came back next year with a 'hey boo, its me again' ?

fedclerkhopeful

21:02

Yeah that’s def a real fear. I think too it puts people who have high stats but are going to reapply in a weird place because you can’t even improve the most important parts of your app

11ama

21:03

I'm sure it falls in the same category as retaking the LSAT: one more thing to be held against you.

JuicyApple

21:05

Alrighty then. Sounds bad.

OlDirtyBtard

21:06

nah tbh just reapp to make them say no

advance out of spite alone

Pretty crazy sheer number of applicants, IMO. I hope people find fulfilling work, yet I fear the future will not reveal said state of affairs since movies/culture makes law seem much more bad ass than it is.

Law = paper pusher maxxing, prove me wrong;

JuicyApple

Yeah, idk. I have been here like almost over a year now and I don't understand why half the people I meet go to law school. I was shadowing classes yesterday and today and the people I talked to in those 1L classes were like totally disinterested in the subject, getting questions wrong I knew as a paralegal, and didn't have any idea what they wanted to do post grad. Blew my mind. Maybe it's cus I shadowed a lower ranking scholl yesterday and today but it's weird.

JuicyApple

21:41

Law school I fear is becoming just like another idk what I want to do post undergrad option and I need more time to find out so I am going to go to school some more which is like the opposite of what people should do.
