insurance underwriter

Read a random definition: Smith Act

A quick definition of insurance underwriter:

An insurance underwriter is a person who works for an insurance company and decides whether or not to give someone insurance and how much it should cost. They look at different factors like the person's age, health, and job to decide how risky it is to insure them. It's like a game of guessing how likely it is that something bad will happen and how much money the insurance company might have to pay out.

A more thorough explanation:

An insurance underwriter is a person who works for an insurance company and is responsible for deciding whether to provide insurance coverage to a person or organization and how much to charge for that coverage. They evaluate the risk of insuring someone or something and determine the appropriate premium to charge.

For example, if someone wants to insure their car, the insurance underwriter will look at factors such as the driver's age, driving record, and the type of car being insured to determine the likelihood of an accident occurring. Based on this evaluation, they will decide whether to provide coverage and how much to charge for it.

Another example is when a business wants to purchase liability insurance. The insurance underwriter will assess the risks associated with the business's operations and determine the appropriate coverage and premium.

Overall, insurance underwriters play a crucial role in the insurance industry by helping to manage risk and ensure that insurance companies are financially stable.

You remind me of a friend of mine from back in the day. They came in at the top of their class at a T14 but reapplied before doing this to get HYS. They still didn't get it the second time with perfect stats. That stuff is competitive and what does it matter anyway? Just saying!

Haha didn't realize you were admitted at Cornell not why I'm saying this haha. I've also seen a few people get H and one person get Y the second time around. Hopefully things just work out now but if it doesn't go your way the second time don't worry ✌️ you 🫵 are amazing! For the record though my housemate's friend who graduated from Cornell has an appellate clerkship.

@Steel2Law1997: LOCI, research the school and try to mention specifics of what excites you about the school. Be friendly to adcoms. Try to sit in on virtual sessions/ zooms if possible. If you have any updates (promotion at work, volunteering, etc) send it to them! Godspeeeddd
