A quick definition of legal signature:

A legal signature is a person's name or mark written by that person or at their direction, used to authenticate a document. It can be a handwritten signature, a digital code, or an electronic symbol associated with a document. A facsimile signature is a mechanically or photographically reproduced signature, while a private signature is one made on a document without witnesses or notarization. An unauthorized signature is one made without actual, implied, or apparent authority, including forgeries.

A more thorough explanation:

A legal signature is a person's name or mark written by that person or at their direction. It is used to authenticate a document and can be any name, mark, or writing used with the intention of doing so.

For example, when signing a contract, a person's signature at the end of the document is their legal signature. This signature shows that they agree to the terms of the contract and that they are the person who signed it.

Another example is a digital signature, which is a secure, digital code attached to an electronically transmitted message that uniquely identifies and authenticates the sender. This type of signature is important for electronic commerce and is a key component of many electronic message-authentication schemes.

Overall, a legal signature is a way to verify the authenticity of a document and ensure that the person who signed it is the one who intended to do so.

@llama: your cycle confuses me, your stats are good and you applied early but all of those Rs? Is there anything weird about your app?

RasheedWallaceFan

12:53

do you have C&F issues or something?

RasheedWallaceFan

12:55

also ur first choice is kansas but you didnt apply there?

llama

12:55

@RasheedWallaceFan: Hi. Yes, I waited for April LSAT, put almost all apps (which were sent really early) so that basically most of my apps were reviewed In May. Shot myself in the foot for 155 -> 161 lmao. Would not recommend 10/10

llama

12:57

@RasheedWallaceFan: unironically, KSLS was my top choice, however by April LSAT their app had closed. It was like waiting to date ur dream partner, but waiting until you graduate uni, then by the time u graduate uni, your soul mate is already married with 2.4 kids and 1.6 dogs. Heartbreak.exe fr fr

llama

13:00

No, I think what I will do is flip a coin: heds NKU, tails NEL|B what u guys think bout dat. Then once 1L - if good at LS, try to transfer, if bad at LS or one of my grandiose ideas/inventions are viable, drop out and pursue.

RasheedWallaceFan

13:10

oh so you submitted the apps with a lower lsat and then retook

Most schools will hold your application for the next test score to be released into your account as well. I was notified by an admissions director that if a decision is processed they will not retroactively go back for the new score even if higher

ParallelAgreeableOrangutan

13:34

I vote NEL-Boston so we can be friends :D

ParallelAgreeableOrangutan

13:34

But it says you withdrew?? :(

ParallelAgreeableOrangutan

13:41

@Bettercaulsaul: in my experience, there is often an option on the application for you to choose whether you'd like them to review your application as-is ASAP or hold it until your new score is released. but it probably varies by school—I just remember seeing that option on at least a few app forms

llama

While I am unsure of what option you are referring to, I personally just emailed each school and asked for them to hold my app pending my lsat score release.
