Dutch auction

Read a random definition: reverse condemnation

A quick definition of Dutch auction:

A Dutch auction is a type of auction where the seller starts with a high price and gradually lowers it until someone buys the item. It can also refer to an auction where multiple identical items are sold to the highest bidders for the price of the lowest winning bid. In securities, it can be a method of tendering stock shares where shareholders indicate how many shares they will sell and at what price, and the corporation buys however many shares it wants at the lowest prices offered.

A more thorough explanation:

A Dutch auction is a type of auction where the price of an item is gradually lowered until someone buys it. There are different types of Dutch auctions:

  1. One type of Dutch auction is when an item is offered at a very high price and then the price is lowered until someone buys it. For example, a painting might be offered for $10,000 and then the price is lowered by $1,000 every minute until someone buys it.
  2. Another type of Dutch auction is when several identical items are offered at the same time and sold to the highest bidders for the amount of the lowest winning bid. For example, if there are 10 identical chairs, each bidder can bid on one chair and the 10 chairs will be sold to the 10 bidders who bid the lowest amount.
  3. In the stock market, a Dutch auction is a method of tendering stock shares. A corporation provides a price range, shareholders indicate how many shares they will sell and at what price, and the corporation buys however many shares it wants at the lowest prices offered.

These examples illustrate how a Dutch auction works. In the first example, the price of the painting is gradually lowered until someone buys it. In the second example, the identical chairs are sold to the bidders who bid the lowest amount. In the third example, the corporation buys shares at the lowest prices offered by shareholders.

@ParallelAgreeableOrangutan: got that weaponized autism in gear, we out here.
@llama: your cycle confuses me, your stats are good and you applied early but all of those Rs? Is there anything weird about your app?
do you have C&F issues or something?
also ur first choice is kansas but you didnt apply there?

@RasheedWallaceFan: Hi. Yes, I waited for April LSAT, put almost all apps (which were sent really early) so that basically most of my apps were reviewed In May. Shot myself in the foot for 155 -> 161 lmao. Would not recommend 10/10
12:57
@RasheedWallaceFan: unironically, KSLS was my top choice, however by April LSAT their app had closed. It was like waiting to date ur dream partner, but waiting until you graduate uni, then by the time u graduate uni, your soul mate is already married with 2.4 kids and 1.6 dogs. Heartbreak.exe fr fr

are you R&Ring?

No, I think what I will do is flip a coin: heds NKU, tails NEL|B what u guys think bout dat. Then once 1L - if good at LS, try to transfer, if bad at LS or one of my grandiose ideas/inventions are viable, drop out and pursue.
oh so you submitted the apps with a lower lsat and then retook
got it

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
2:21
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.

Sorry WNE = Western New England not NEL|B

shooooot
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
