A quick definition of clinch:

Term: CLINCH

Definition: Clinch means to stop any further action on a decision that has already been made. This is usually done in a parliamentary setting by making a motion to reconsider the decision and then immediately defeating that motion. This is called a clincher motion. It is like saying "we have already decided, let's not talk about it anymore".

Example: After the group voted to have pizza for lunch, someone tried to change the decision to burgers. But another member made a clincher motion to stop any further discussion on the matter, and the group continued with their plan to have pizza.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: To prevent further action on a motion or series of motions by proposing to reconsider it and then defeating that proposal.

Example: In a parliamentary meeting, a motion to increase the budget for a project was passed. However, a member who opposed the motion can use the clinch technique by proposing to reconsider the motion and then immediately moving to lay it on the table. This means that the motion cannot be discussed or voted on again, and the decision to increase the budget is final.

Explanation: The example illustrates how the clinch technique can be used to prevent further discussion or voting on a motion that has already been passed. By proposing to reconsider the motion and then immediately moving to lay it on the table, the member effectively ends any chance of the motion being debated or voted on again. This technique is often used to prevent a change in a decision that has already been made.

Tell us what's important to you
Okay thank you for the input, the other thing im struggling with is just making a school list in general. I am insecure so im like do i have to apply to 5 low ranked schools just in case? I guess I am trying to figure out where the "safety" cutoff is and my list right now is 25 schools so idk if thats too much
@RasheedWallaceFan: 25 is on the high end, but you should apply to however many you feel comfortable with. imo, a safety is anywhere you are well above both medians. you can look at my school list for inspo if you'd like
you shouldn't apply to anywhere you wouldn't realistically go if it was your only offer
for sure, thank you a lot. Have fun at michigan that will be awesome!

i do them in between studying to keep sane
@RasheedWallaceFan: take your list and research the city, campus, tuition, bar passage, employment by sector, etc.!!! it might help you narrow down your school choices
also don't pay much attention to the people on reddit. there's genuinely good advice but there's a ton of people who are just energy vampires (average reddit user)
@NosyBeagle: that is so real

The real reason why lawyers are alchoholics... Because there is so much of a wait time between tests and scores.

i already became one in undergrad so ill fit right in
Are the 7sage app requirements as far as essays go accurate? I would love to spend my summer preparing my applications but I dont want to waste time writing essays that wont be there. Is there a way to know what will be on the apps, or when those apps will be available to view? Or should I just focus on my PS and DS for now?
@RasheedWallaceFan: they were accurate for me, but school requirements change year to year and there's no way for anyone to know for sure
