filed-rate doctrine

Read a random definition: PBGC

A quick definition of filed-rate doctrine:

The filed-rate doctrine is a rule that says a company that is regulated, like a transportation company, cannot charge a rate that is different from the one they have filed with the government agency that oversees them. This rule used to be enforced by the Interstate Commerce Commission. Another name for this rule is the filed-tariff doctrine.

A more thorough explanation:

The filed-rate doctrine is a legal principle that prohibits a regulated entity, typically a common carrier, from charging a rate that is different from the one that has been filed with the appropriate federal regulatory authority. This authority was formerly the Interstate Commerce Commission.

For example, if a shipping company has filed a rate of $100 for a particular route with the regulatory authority, it cannot charge a customer $120 for the same service. The company must adhere to the filed rate.

The filed-rate doctrine is designed to ensure that regulated entities do not engage in discriminatory pricing practices and that all customers are charged the same rate for the same service. It also provides transparency and predictability in pricing for both the regulated entity and its customers.

like if you don't want me that's fine but why not reject or WL people? too busy having Zoom seminars

Lmaoo the Zoom seminars
GW is requesting my fall transcripts (I had intended to apply during the fall semester when I requested them, but had three hurricanes-one with water rescues in my neighborhood-an emergency 2 1/2 week trip to Colorado to say goodbye to my mother-in-law, then I received my service dog, which required another eight days away from school for training), so I ended up applying this month. If I request new transcripts through LSAC, does each school I applied to receive them? I'm hoping to not have to write an addendum of why all of my narrative evaluations mention my busy schedule or that I had to miss classes and whatnot. (My school doesn't do letter grades.)

It sucks cause I feel like I fucked up my video statement but the rest of my app was strong and now the video statement isn't even a requirement
I think as long as you haven't been R or WL, you're still in the running! I don't think they'd leave anyone hanging if they already knew! <3

Tried negotiating scholarships with the school but they basically called my bluff saying I have to share other letters by the deposit deadline to get any $. It feels good to bet on myself though
