A quick definition of circa:

Term: CIRCA

Definition: Circa means approximately or around a certain date, especially an ancient one. It is often abbreviated as ca. or c. For example, if we say that a book was written circa 1938-1941, it means that it was written around that time, but we are not sure of the exact year.

A more thorough explanation:

CIRCA

Circa is a Latin word that means "about" or "around" when referring to a date, especially an ancient one. It is often abbreviated as "ca." or "c." and is used to indicate an approximate time period.

  • The pyramids of Egypt were built circa 2500 BCE.
  • The Mona Lisa was painted circa 1503–1506.
  • The Roman Empire fell circa 476 CE.

These examples illustrate how "circa" is used to give an approximate date for historical events or works of art. It indicates that the exact date may not be known, but the time period is estimated to be around the given year.

Can someone help me figure out what soft tier I'd fall under? I am director level in my job, and come from disadvantaged status. does that make me tier 3 or 2?

disadvantaged might be tier 3 if you’re lucky. but that will be really solid in the work experience category. work experience is one of the strongest factors for law school acceptance

@georgiapeach88: I actually remember you from some of the first times I was on this site
Just out of curiosity: Do we think it's fair to say that the percentage of users of those site who continue to use it after their 1L starts, for those users who actually went or go to law school, is <1%?
