A quick definition of wills: signature requirement:

Wills: Signature Requirement

When someone writes a will, they need to sign it for it to be real. In some places, the signature has to be at the very end of the paper, but in other places, it can be anywhere on the paper.

A more thorough explanation:

For a will to be considered valid, it must be signed by the person making the will. The signature can appear at the end of the document or anywhere on the document, depending on the laws of the state.

Example 1: John writes his will and signs it at the bottom of the page. This meets the signature requirement in states that require the signature to appear at the end of the document.

Example 2: Sarah writes her will and signs it in the middle of the page. This meets the signature requirement in states that allow the signature to appear anywhere on the document.

These examples illustrate that the signature requirement for wills can vary depending on the state. However, regardless of where the signature appears, it is necessary for the will to be considered valid.

That also happened to me initially though. I went under review in late October. Then message disappeared in mid-November, and then reappeared last week.

From most Reddit pages, it seems that WashU does a poor job at updating their status checker and treat it more as a checklist for whether applications are complete. Some folks have gotten an email with the A, but their status checker still says under review.

For people who got their decision from Fordham, is it being sent in staggard emails or did you get a call.

I am sick of law schools sending out emails without the option to unsubscribe. It's straight up illegal and shows you the quality of education you will get there.

GW is requesting my fall transcripts (I had intended to apply during the fall semester when I requested them, but had three hurricanes-one with water rescues in my neighborhood-an emergency 2 1/2 week trip to Colorado to say goodbye to my mother-in-law, then I received my service dog, which required another eight days away from school for training), so I ended up applying this month. If I request new transcripts through LSAC, does each school I applied to receive them? I'm hoping to not have to write an addendum of why all of my narrative evaluations mention my busy schedule or that I had to miss classes and whatnot. (My school doesn't do letter grades.)

Yes, they receive them automatically from LSAC
@AnotherUsername1: Thank you! :)
