A quick definition of hand down:

Term: HAND DOWN

Definition: When a judge or court makes a decision about a case, they can "hand down" their opinion. This means they announce what they think should happen in the case. It's like a teacher giving you a grade on your homework. The term "hand down" used to only apply to higher courts sending their opinions to lower courts, but now it can be used for any decision made by a court.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: To announce or file an opinion in a legal case.

Example 1: The Supreme Court handed down a ruling on the case, stating that the defendant was guilty.

Example 2: The judge will hand down his decision on the matter next week.

When a court hands down a decision, it means that they have made a final ruling on a legal case. This can happen at any level of the court system, from the Supreme Court to a local district court. The decision is usually announced in writing and becomes the final outcome of the case.

@NemoPropheta: mine was on a chill team so i had a good time, but apple works like a bunch of little companies that report to the same ppl so its a little isolating if you're not in the same office/don't go out much. i didn't take RO to intern again

@Sex-Drive: Seconding what Windy's saying. I live in a LCOL and I'm fully able to support myself and my family on my paycheck alone. $60k in a HCOL while single was living check to check.

if I want to transfer to nyu is it better to go to washu or cardozo

SpecialCrowdedElemental

15:04

(also why does nyu accept so many transfers from brooklyn lmao, what other t125 will let you transfer that high)

c0bra1

15:07

transferring is grades dependent so "better" is a little weird to define - a lot of ppl don't want to give up schollys/networks for ranking purposes. that being said im going to dozo and hoping for a nyu transfer lol

c0bra1

15:08

i think they take a lot from brooklyn just by the nature of being a nyc school. 3 out of 15 transfers out of cardozo went to nyu last year which is technically a good sign but you'd consider that the rate of ppl at washu wanting to move to nyc and pay sticker after a year is probably lower than the rate of ppl at nyc schools who want to

i dont really know how important it is to be median vs 75th of transfer gpa but id imagine keeping a B+/A- average is pretty hard in 1L and easier said than done
