accumulation

Read a random definition: Secretary of Veterans Affairs

A quick definition of accumulation:

Accumulation: Accumulation refers to the process of adding more and more of something over time. This can refer to adding money to a savings account or investment fund, or adding evidence to support a claim. It can also refer to keeping dividends or profits for future use. In insurance, accumulation can mean an increase in the amount of coverage without an increase in premiums.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Accumulation refers to the process of increasing something by repeatedly adding to it. This can include the increase of a fund by adding the income it generates, or the retention of dividends for future distribution. It can also refer to the concurrence of several titles or circumstances to the same proof.

Examples:

  • A person may accumulate wealth by saving a portion of their income each month.
  • A company may accumulate profits by reinvesting a portion of their earnings back into the business.
  • In legal terms, accumulation can refer to the concurrence of several titles to the same property, such as when multiple people have ownership rights to a piece of land.
  • In insurance, accumulation can refer to an increase in the principal sum insured for, effective upon renewal of a policy, without a change of premiums.

The examples illustrate how accumulation involves the process of adding to something over time, resulting in an increase in value or quantity. Whether it's accumulating wealth, profits, or ownership rights, the concept of accumulation involves building upon what already exists to create something greater.

4pm no decisions

@CheeseIsMyLoveLanguage: so when I get decisions EST?

@MrThickRopes: I saw a YLS reject wave at 4:45 a couple of weeks ago, so I'd say 5:00 is a safe cutoff guess for schools in EST, given that's when admin offices typically close for the day

Have you looked at the admit graphs for the schools you've applied at? It can be helpful. For example, I sort the results based on complete or under review date and see if people who went complete or under review after me have received answers. If they haven't, scrolling down to see when people who have received answers, and when they went complete or under review, gives me an idea of how far out I might be for getting a response

@MrThickRopes: If I see people that went complete or under review after I did, and they are getting interview invites, then I lower my expectations for a positive result at that school.
16:12
Thx

@MrThickRopes: If someone who went complete or under review two weeks after me is getting accepted or interview invites, then it seems likely that I'm not a hot candidate for that school. Conversely, if there have been rejections of applicants who went complete or under review after me, that I feel somewhat confident that I am still in consideration

@MrThickRopes: you can also sort by decision date and look at the graph at the top left to get a good idea of when schools have waves (every week, every other week, Thursdays, rainbow or solid, etc.). While you still won't have control, it gives you a better idea of what you can expect and when
16:20
Cool I’ll do that
BC is every two weeks so there is a very good chance their wave will be on thursday
How does the live updates page work? I notice that I'll often see the same person receive 4-5 or even more decisions within a minute or two. Do schools provide decisions for specific LSAC account #s and then LSAC releases them in batches or something along those lines?

@SplittingNotQuitting: If you click on the name, you'll likely notice that they are updating their profile with decisions received on multiple different days.

@SplittingNotQuitting: Everything on here is self-reported, so we have to count on each other to be accurate and update for us to use the data points effectively
Ah, I understand. I was under the impression it was interfaced with the automatic status updater. Thanks.
CheeseIsMyLoveLanguage
17:47
@SplittingNotQuitting: I actually haven't seen anyone on here say that the automatic status updater works. Just lots of questions from individual users as to why they can't get their updater do work 🙃

**to work
Haha. I was wondering how legit it was. I'll just continue to watch my LSAC status tracker and email like a hawk.

I am half expecting a restraining order from my status tracker. I feel dangerously close to reaching stalker status 😳
W&M sent an apology letter for not having my decision on time. I appreciate the thought but I also was preparing myself for the worst

@UnderRepresentedTryhard: Did they send you an answer with their apology?!?
20:48
should i withdraw my applications when i decide where im going is that a part of the process or is it not needed
eggan
20:51
it would b considerate to the schools and to the people still waiting for decisions yes
eggan
20:52
anyone on hold, their fate depends on how many people withdraw before the deposit deadline
20:52
interesting ok i’ll do that thank u eggan

Anybody know the best place to find admitted students group chats?
GWU status checker says decision made but no email bruh
@CheeseIsMyLoveLanguage: No. If you mean “answer” as in being accepted/denied, no

Is a $30k total difference in COA between two similarly ranked schools too much? Even if the most expensive one has a niche concentration I want to pursue?
