political corruption

Read a random definition: majority voting

A quick definition of political corruption:

Political corruption is when a person who works in the government does something wrong or illegal. This can include not doing their job properly, lying, or taking bribes. It is a serious problem because it can harm the people who rely on the government to make fair decisions. It is important for people in power to be honest and do their job well.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Political corruption refers to the misuse of power by government officials for personal gain or to benefit a particular group. This can include bribery, embezzlement, nepotism, and other forms of unethical behavior.

Examples:

  • A government official accepting money from a company in exchange for awarding them a contract.
  • A politician using their position to secure a job for a family member, even if they are not qualified.
  • A government agency covering up evidence of wrongdoing to protect their reputation.

These examples illustrate how political corruption can harm the public interest and undermine trust in government institutions. When officials prioritize their own interests over those of the people they are supposed to serve, it can lead to a breakdown of democracy and the rule of law.

@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

RasheedWallaceFan
12:55

llama

@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

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.

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

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

But it says you withdrew?? :(

@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
