A quick definition of city council:

A city council is a group of people who make decisions about how a city is run. They create rules, collect money from taxes, and decide how to spend that money to make the city a better place for everyone who lives there.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A city council is a group of elected officials who are responsible for making laws, setting policies, and managing the budget for a city. They are the legislative body of a city government.

Examples:

  • The New York City Council is made up of 51 members who are elected to represent different districts within the city.
  • The Los Angeles City Council is responsible for passing ordinances, approving the city budget, and overseeing city departments.
  • The Chicago City Council is composed of 50 aldermen who are elected to serve four-year terms.

These examples illustrate how city councils are responsible for governing cities and making decisions that affect the lives of their residents. They are elected by the people to represent their interests and ensure that the city is run efficiently and effectively.

You 🫵 miss or sir are going extremely hard!
has anyone had the ucla WL interview yet?
@OmniscientFrightenedBaboon: yes a lot of people have.
Does anyone who has ADHD and took the LSAT have tips how to remember RC? I keep finding it goes in one ear and out the other because I get bored while prepping
Might be because it's not the actual test, I usually test really well because of the adrenaline

@ScandalousSeriousBaboon: i have adhd but i bombed rc, but others with adhd can still do well. it really depends on the person and how their adhd symptoms impact their life

@ScandalousSeriousBaboon: strengths are weaknesses! That’s what I tell my students! Try to use your adhd like a superpower if you can! Filter out the bullshit parts of RC you don’t need!
You can get extended time if you have ADHD or anxiety, etc. it’s super easy you just need a doctor to write a few sentences
15:58
@CloisteredDisgustingCheese: i had accommodations, and even then i gave up on rc. plus, they arent always easy to get. i had to prove i wasnt taking adhd meds before i got it approved
@Ijustwannagetinman: can you pm me what your experience was like? mine is tomorrow and im freaking out lol
I've never had an "official" diagnosis, but 100% have it. Might be worth it to attempt to get extra time, especially on RC... would make a good essay to write about living with undiagnosed ADHD and still doing well in school (other than shite HS grades)
@ararara: Ty for the words of wisdom!
@menherachan: Ty for the kind words
Am I reading this right when I see that schools are still waitlisting students for this current cycle?? I am taking the June lsat so I have been checking in from time to time. Am I reading this right??
Like, ASU (my dream school), waitlisted 3 out of their last 4 applications
Is it not a terrible year to apply with the June Lsat?

it’s always a terrible year to apply with a june lsat, but if your score jumps a lot then that’s good, although at that point you might want to wait til next cycle so you can get even better options
If I got pulled off the waitlist at UCI (probably with no scholarship), would it be dumb to go there over USD with 30k a year?

22:15
maybe? you’d need to run the numbers and check specific outcomes/connections for your goal. put yes it’d probably be dumb
22:40
@ScandalousSeriousBaboon: Tbqh, writing an essay about doing well in school is likely a bad idea
22:43
1. Schools can see you did well, they get your transcript 2. unless the story tells readers something besides "but I'm smart and/or a hard worker, so I did well despite ADHD" this is a missed opportunity to share something more interesting
22:44
(3. Mentioning anything mental health or neurological is dicey, a lot of schools view that as a risk)
I agree
In my interview they asked me about the most humbling experience. I had one that was health related but did not use it.
is anyone active rn
anyone here still haven't heard from USC
