Read a random definition: remote possibility

A quick definition of directive:

A directive is a legal document that explains what medical treatment a person wants if they become unable to communicate or make decisions for themselves. It designates a surrogate decision-maker for healthcare matters and is effective only upon a determination that the person lacks capacity. The agent must make decisions in accordance with the person's relevant instructions, if there are any, or in the person's best interests. A directive is also known as a medical directive, physician's directive, or written directive.

A more thorough explanation:

A directive is a legal document that outlines a person's wishes regarding medical treatment if they become unable to communicate or make decisions for themselves. It can also refer to a document that designates a surrogate decision-maker for healthcare matters.

  • An advance directive is a legal document that designates a person to make healthcare decisions on behalf of the individual if they become incapacitated.
  • A medical directive is a written document that outlines a person's wishes regarding medical treatment if they become unable to communicate or make decisions for themselves.
  • A do-not-resuscitate order is a directive that instructs healthcare providers not to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if the person's heart stops or they stop breathing.

These examples illustrate how a directive can be used to ensure that a person's wishes regarding medical treatment are respected, even if they are unable to communicate or make decisions for themselves.

Most schools will hold your application for the next test score to be released into your account as well. I was notified by an admissions director that if a decision is processed they will not retroactively go back for the new score even if higher

@Bettercaulsaul: in my experience, there is often an option on the application for you to choose whether you'd like them to review your application as-is ASAP or hold it until your new score is released. but it probably varies by school—I just remember seeing that option on at least a few app forms

While I am unsure of what option you are referring to, I personally just emailed each school and asked for them to hold my app pending my lsat score release.

hey y'all so im gonna be honest im completely new to all this, i kinda bullshitted and took the LSAT and i have no clue what my odds are of getting into schools. 163 LSAT, 3.17 GPA, and a double major in undergrad i may write about in an addendum
Based on the list I see you made on your profile, you will need to make significant LSAT improvement for those schools to be contenders. Your primary focus should probably be working to get your LSAT practice tests up to a number you are happy with before you retest, and then test until you get a score you like. Don't rush an application cycle or apply late since those will hurt your odds of getting into your school as a splitter. Good luck!
oh that was literally just random stuff i dont know how this works
thank you so much!
im retaking in 4 days, and maybe again in august, and i was gonna apply to see what i got, and if i didnt like it i was going to wait till next cycle and work on improving my GPA

Ruminating on how if you have a job you love it’s really chic and charming to refuse to retire but if you have a job you hate but can’t retire you are a cautionary tale on why you need to start saving at an early age
