generic term

A quick definition of generic term:

A child is a young person who is under the age of majority. This can include babies, boys, girls, sons, daughters, and fetuses. There are different types of children, such as natural children who are born to their parents, adopted children who become the son or daughter of a parent or parents through legal adoption, and stepchildren who are the child of one's spouse from a previous marriage. Children can also be classified based on their circumstances, such as abused children who have been subjected to physical or mental harm, neglected children who lack proper parental care or control, and special-needs children who have medical problems or physical or emotional handicaps.

A more thorough explanation:

A generic term is a term that refers to a group or category of things rather than a specific thing. For example, "fruit" is a generic term that refers to a category of foods that includes apples, oranges, bananas, and many others.

Examples:

  • Generic Name: A name that is used to refer to a drug or medication that is not protected by a trademark. For example, "ibuprofen" is a generic name for a pain reliever that is sold under many different brand names.
  • Genetic Child: A child who is biologically related to their parents. This is in contrast to an adopted child, who is legally made a part of a family through the process of adoption.
  • Illegitimate Child: A child who is born to parents who are not married. In the past, illegitimate children had fewer legal rights than legitimate children, but this is no longer the case in most places.

These examples illustrate the definition of a generic term because they all refer to categories of things rather than specific things. "Generic Name" refers to a category of drug names, "Genetic Child" refers to a category of children who are biologically related to their parents, and "Illegitimate Child" refers to a category of children who are born to unmarried parents.

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
