equalization board

Read a random definition: lord spiritual

A quick definition of equalization board:

An equalization board is a group of people who work for the government and make sure that taxes are distributed fairly. They make sure that people in different areas pay the right amount of taxes based on how much money they make and the value of their property. This helps to make sure that everyone pays their fair share and that the tax burden is spread out evenly.

A more thorough explanation:

An equalization board is a group of people who work for the local government. Their job is to make sure that taxes are distributed fairly among different areas. They do this by adjusting the tax rates in different districts. This helps to make sure that everyone pays their fair share of taxes.

For example, let's say that there are two districts in a town. District A has a lot of expensive homes, while District B has mostly small apartments. Without an equalization board, the people in District A might end up paying much less in taxes than the people in District B. This would not be fair. The equalization board would adjust the tax rates so that everyone pays a fair amount.

Another example could be a city with different neighborhoods. Some neighborhoods might have more businesses than others, which could affect the amount of taxes they pay. The equalization board would make sure that the tax burden is distributed fairly among all neighborhoods.

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.

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

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
