in common

Read a random definition: constructive assent

A quick definition of in common:

In common means sharing something equally with others, without dividing it into separate parts that each person owns. For example, if two people own a house in common, they both have the right to use the whole house, but neither has the right to sell it without the other's permission. This is also called tenancy in common.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Shared equally with others, undivided into separately owned parts.

Examples: Tenancy in common is a type of ownership where two or more people own a property together, but each person has a separate and distinct share. For example, if two people own a house in common, each person has a 50% share of the property. They both have the right to use the entire property, but they don't own specific parts of it.

Another example of in common is when two or more people inherit a property together. They each have an equal share of the property, but they don't own specific parts of it.

Explanation: In common means that ownership is shared equally among two or more people, and each person has the right to use the entire property. This is different from other types of ownership, such as joint tenancy, where each person owns a specific part of the property and has the right of survivorship. In common ownership, if one owner dies, their share of the property is passed on to their heirs, rather than to the other owners.

Wild that NYU doesn't have enough staff to deliver decisions in a timely fashion, but they can offer dozens of interviews to people they've kept in limbo for months.

Is it helpful to visit a law school’s campus on the WL? (I’ll be in the city this summer anyways so it’s pretty low stakes in terms of money/travel time)
my fordham WL email has verb noun agreement errors...

@PreviousSwelteringQuail: Hard to say. Some schools don't care or aren't organized in a way that a visit translates into interest. It won't hurt your chances, and it may be worth visiting just to see if you really can picture yourself there.

@PreviousSwelteringQuail: it does not help

Also if anyone cares, it seems spivey was right that we will see more Wairlist movement. UCLA and UVA are the only T14 that have truly been through their waitlists and both have already taken way more students than last year at this point. Definitely something to watch!
fwiw that's how its been for every school i withdrew from, or something like "application cancelled"
Both GW and Maine did respond to my withdrawal from them. BC and OSU did not.
anyone know if pre Aug 2024 LSAT writing can still be used after Aug 2024. haven't seen anything to the contrary but...

UCLA's waitlist volume seems similar? 10 people logged a WL -> A result last cycle, 11 people this cycle
21:20
Scratch that, exactly 10 each cycle
21:21
Although it looks like half of UCLA's waitlist As last cycle (5/10) came in June or later, so looking more closely waitlist volume does seem up for UCLA
I got an email from Emory's Office of Financial aid saying they received my aid application. The email also said "Log into OPUS, Emory's student portal, to review our online service offerings and to review your To Do activities, important messages from the Office of Financial Aid, and later in the application cycle, your aid package and disbursement dates." I haven't been accepted (I'm waitlisted), does or did everyone receive this?
nvm should have read the bottom of the email

@Ijustwannagetinman: what did you write in your email?
i wanna get off a waitlist right NEOW 🗣️
