determination

Read a random definition: on the merits

A quick definition of determination:

Determination is when a court or government agency makes a final decision about something. For example, a court might make a determination about who gets custody of a child after a divorce. It can also mean when something comes to an end, like when a person's right to use a piece of land expires.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Determination is a final decision made by a court or administrative agency. It can also refer to the ending or expiration of an estate or interest in property, or of a right, power, or authority.

  • The court's determination of the issue was that the defendant was guilty.
  • The Social Security Administration made an initial determination of the person's eligibility for benefits.
  • The easement's determination after four years meant that it was no longer valid.

These examples illustrate how determination is a final decision made by a court or administrative agency. In the first example, the court made a determination of guilt. In the second example, the Social Security Administration made an initial determination of eligibility. In the third example, the determination was the ending of the easement after four years.

Ah, I understand. I was under the impression it was interfaced with the automatic status updater. Thanks.

@SplittingNotQuitting: I actually haven't seen anyone on here say that the automatic status updater works. Just lots of questions from individual users as to why they can't get their updater do work 🙃

Haha. I was wondering how legit it was. I'll just continue to watch my LSAC status tracker and email like a hawk.

W&M sent an apology letter for not having my decision on time. I appreciate the thought but I also was preparing myself for the worst

Is a $30k total difference in COA between two similarly ranked schools too much? Even if the most expensive one has a niche concentration I want to pursue?
uhhh if you're rolling in dough (hundreds of millions to billions) sure...but if you're taking out a loan, don't do it. You can pursue what your niche falls under and their may be a course that teaches that niche. check courses if they're available tho
wrong there. i deserve death penalty
Guys i want to apply to colleges but ALL of them have a 4.0 scale and my school has a 6.0 (my GPA is 5.4- average)
Niche concentrations are basically just marketing
Don't make a $30,000 decision based on that
