A quick definition of antinomy:

Term: ANTINOMY

Definition: Antinomy means a contradiction in law or logic. It is when two decisions conflict with each other. For example, if one law says you can do something, but another law says you can't, that's an antinomy. Antinomic is the adjective form of antinomy.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Antinomy is a contradiction in law or logic. It refers to a conflict of authority, such as between two decisions.

Example: There is an antinomy in the caselaw regarding the use of deadly force in self-defense. One decision may say that it is justified in certain circumstances, while another decision may say that it is not. This creates a conflict in authority and a contradiction in the law.

Explanation: The example illustrates how antinomy can occur in the legal system when there are conflicting decisions or interpretations of the law. This can create confusion and uncertainty for those who are subject to the law. Antinomy can also occur in logic, where two propositions may contradict each other.

Do you think you can use being on the Harvard Wl to ask for more money? Like say you'll withdraw if they give you more?

If 1 in 10 Harvard waitlistees in their class of 2027 get into HLS (average A % off the HLS waitlist), the school is better served by offering that student more $ than offering the other 9 in 10 more $ than they have to and the one that gets into HLS less than they need to

what do you guys think about the HLS WL? DO you think they're gonna give out a decent amount of A's still?

@NaughtyTeenyWeenyPebble: Looking at last cycle's stats, 16 people logged the date of their HLS waitlist offer and 6 of those were made by 5/19 (the other 10 came later). It's a small sample, and every cycle is different, but it's entirely possible more WL offers are coming

1. Spend the time on the LSAT early, if you can hit your target score this summer it will free up lots of time for essays etc. later when things are busy
jb2028

2. Depending on the schools you're looking at, being at/above LSAT median can be enough. The higher you can get your GPA, the better, but half the class is going to be at/below each median - that's how medians work
jb2028
22:52
If you're above a median (particularly LSAT median) and the other stat isn't way below, numbers alone won't keep you out. Past that point, softs/essays/recs are what gets you in.
jb2028
22:54
YMMV, it will matter what "lower than outstanding" means (3.7? 3.3?)

Can't start a fire. You can't start a fire without a spark. This gun's for hire. Even we're just dancing in the dark. You sit around getting older. There's a joke. It's wild and it's on me. I shake this world off my shoulders. Come on, baby, the laugh's on me.
