A quick definition of Warranty:

Warranty: A promise made by someone who sells something that says the thing they sold is good and will work the way it's supposed to. There are two types of warranties: ones that are written down and ones that are not. If the person who sold the thing doesn't keep their promise, they broke the warranty. Warranty and guarantee are not the same thing.

A more thorough explanation:

A warranty is a promise or guarantee made by the seller or manufacturer of a product regarding its quality, condition, or accuracy of specific facts. It is a legally binding commitment that ensures the buyer that the product will meet certain standards and expectations.

There are two types of warranties:

  • Express Warranty: This is a written or spoken promise made by the seller or manufacturer about the product. For example, a car manufacturer may offer a 3-year warranty on a new car, which means that if any defects or problems arise during that time, the manufacturer will repair or replace the car.
  • Implied Warranty: This is an unwritten promise that the product will meet certain standards of quality and performance. For example, if you buy a toaster, there is an implied warranty that it will work properly and toast bread evenly.

It is important to note that a warranty is different from a guarantee. A guarantee is a promise to refund the purchase price if the product does not meet certain standards, while a warranty is a promise to repair or replace the product.

For example, if a company offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on a product, it means that if the customer is not satisfied with the product within 30 days of purchase, they can return it for a full refund. On the other hand, if the company offers a 1-year warranty on the same product, it means that if the product breaks or malfunctions within a year of purchase, the company will repair or replace it.

These examples illustrate how a warranty works and how it differs from a guarantee. A warranty gives the buyer peace of mind that they are protected if the product does not meet their expectations, while a guarantee offers a refund if the product does not meet certain standards.

I wrote mine about how all activists should be consolidated into a large smelting pot and refined down to a viscous goo

Expecting a lot of rejections though

I'm sure you'll get a full ride to a few schools :P
11:11
The impression I get is most schools try not to judge based on the political implications of what you write about. They probably care more that you saw a problem and tried to fix it. That seems like a great thing to write a PS about @chowie
11:18
Besides, if a school didn’t let you in for trying to fix a problem you saw in your community, that doesn’t say great things about your school’s culture (assuming the thing you did showed good common sense judgment ofc)
11:19
That school’s* culture
11:23
Thanks Howl you're right :D I def talked about solving problems in my PS
12:03
@HowlEngineer: what's your dream school

"Have you applied for admission to [school] in a prior year" I applied in Oct. of the 23-24 cycle, should I put 23 or 24 as the year I applied?
MildChiller
12:09
Bcuz 2023 is when I technically applied but I applied for admissions in 2024
12:14
2024 cuz that's when you would've been admitted
I agree with Howl
12:19
Gecko what's ur dream school
Hard to say. I'm pretty firmly committed to the philly area so probably temple or villanova
Also relatively debt averse so I'd have to get a good scholarship from BC or Fordham to want to go but that's not very likely for me
Any advice? lol
[] baddestbunny
12:25
what’s a good scholarship for you? what would make BC or Fordham worth it?
12:25
Hmmmm let me think
[] baddestbunny

fordham’s max aid they give is 45k per year
Bunny I can possibly get a 75%+ scholarship from villanova or temple, and I'd be moving back in with my parents if I went there so I'd have near-zero COL. It'd be really hard to beat that
I would prefer BC over Fordham just because I like boston more, but I'm expecting a WL there tbh
I would maybe consider BC with $ but I don't know how to decide if a better biglaw chance is worth the COL + higher tuition

How do I know if my status checkers are properly linked
12:59
@ChowieBean: right now, Michigan, but there are several that come close. How about you?
13:05
@Law01: I haven't gotten the status checkers to work at all. When I sent an email to the LSData folks the other week, they said they were working on fixing them
13:10
but I think "Last Checked" would change from "Never" to something else
13:30
@HowlEngineer: I'll get more specific once I get my LSAT score, but NYU, Berk, GTown, UCLA
13:30
Anywhere that's top for PI
