opportunity

Read a random definition: nil ligatum

A quick definition of opportunity:

Opportunity: This means that someone had the chance to do something because they were in the right place at the right time. For example, if a toy goes missing and someone was in the room when it disappeared, they had the opportunity to take it.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Opportunity refers to the fact that the person accused of committing a crime was present at the time and place where the crime occurred.

Example: If a person is accused of stealing from a store, the prosecution must prove that the accused had the opportunity to commit the crime. This means that the accused was present in the store at the time of the theft and had the chance to take the item.

Another example: If a person is accused of committing a hit-and-run accident, the prosecution must prove that the accused had the opportunity to commit the crime. This means that the accused was present at the scene of the accident and had the chance to flee the scene.

These examples illustrate how opportunity is an important factor in determining whether a person committed a crime. Without the opportunity to commit the crime, it is unlikely that the accused could have committed the crime.

as a general piece of advice - whatever you wrote about your job in any material - make sure you share that w them so they can co sign that and expand on it!

Yeah I was hoping to submit it to GULC to get off the WL. I’m assuming most of their medians are hit so they need diversity and experience etc
19:29
@Hellwoods2025: gotcha yeah they actually offered first to try and help they’re super supportive so I’m not worried they’ll hate me and use it to screw me over hahaha
19:30
@trees1234567: gotcha when I send my supervisor the list of things to talk about I’ll include the paragraph I wrote as a “job update” for my LOCI ty

like that is always helpful and then anything else they can do is above and beyond!
19:32
Tbh I downplayed myself and more mentioned as a team we did x y and z and all that cuz I didn’t wanna come off as arrogant and be like “all me” so them backing it up or expanding on how I specifically helped even more than the “here were my notable contributions to this team effort” should strengthen I think

19:33
yep

Gotta think if you're willing to re write your essays though - most schools expect/want new material
that scholly at northwestern is nice if you get off the wl
