descriptive

Read a random definition: Moiety

A quick definition of descriptive:

Descriptive: A way of talking about things that tries to explain how they really are, instead of how they should be. It's like telling a story about what's happening, rather than giving advice on what to do.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Descriptive refers to a statement that describes reality. It is a theory that claims to explain how things really are, rather than how they should be. It is the opposite of prescriptive.

  • "The sky is blue" is a descriptive statement because it describes the color of the sky as it is in reality.
  • "The grass is green" is another example of a descriptive statement because it describes the color of the grass as it is in reality.

These examples illustrate the definition of descriptive because they are statements that describe the reality of the color of the sky and grass. They do not prescribe or suggest what color the sky or grass should be, but rather describe what they are in reality.

Hey just wondering how to filter data by international Gpa? Can't seem to find this filter option

There’s no intuitive way to do this. The only way I can find is by going to each individual school, scrolling to the part that shows you all applicants for that year, and clicking on the GPA button until it filters them for the blank ones first. I’ve found by clicking on profiles that the ones with an LSAT listed and no GPA are almost universally international
