Related term: BUTLERAGE

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Prisage was a royal duty on wine imported into England. It was replaced by butlerage during the reign of Edward I.

Example: If a merchant brought a shipment of wine into England, they would have to pay a fee to the king, known as prisage. This fee was based on the quantity of wine being imported.

Explanation: Prisage was a way for the king to collect revenue on imported wine. The amount of the fee was determined by the quantity of wine being imported, so the more wine a merchant brought in, the higher the fee they would have to pay. This helped the king to fund his government and maintain his power.

@MrThickRopes: you can also sort by decision date and look at the graph at the top left to get a good idea of when schools have waves (every week, every other week, Thursdays, rainbow or solid, etc.). While you still won't have control, it gives you a better idea of what you can expect and when

Cool I’ll do that

BC is every two weeks so there is a very good chance their wave will be on thursday

How does the live updates page work? I notice that I'll often see the same person receive 4-5 or even more decisions within a minute or two. Do schools provide decisions for specific LSAC account #s and then LSAC releases them in batches or something along those lines?

@SplittingNotQuitting: If you click on the name, you'll likely notice that they are updating their profile with decisions received on multiple different days.

@SplittingNotQuitting: Everything on here is self-reported, so we have to count on each other to be accurate and update for us to use the data points effectively

Ah, I understand. I was under the impression it was interfaced with the automatic status updater. Thanks.

@SplittingNotQuitting: I actually haven't seen anyone on here say that the automatic status updater works. Just lots of questions from individual users as to why they can't get their updater do work 🙃

Haha. I was wondering how legit it was. I'll just continue to watch my LSAC status tracker and email like a hawk.

I am half expecting a restraining order from my status tracker. I feel dangerously close to reaching stalker status 😳

W&M sent an apology letter for not having my decision on time. I appreciate the thought but I also was preparing myself for the worst

@UnderRepresentedTryhard: Did they send you an answer with their apology?!?

20:51

eggan

20:52

@CheeseIsMyLoveLanguage: No. If you mean “answer” as in being accepted/denied, no

Is a $30k total difference in COA between two similarly ranked schools too much? Even if the most expensive one has a niche concentration I want to pursue?

UnderRepresentedTryhard

22:54

uhhh if you're rolling in dough (hundreds of millions to billions) sure...but if you're taking out a loan, don't do it. You can pursue what your niche falls under and their may be a course that teaches that niche. check courses if they're available tho

wrong there. i deserve death penalty

Guys i want to apply to colleges but ALL of them have a 4.0 scale and my school has a 6.0 (my GPA is 5.4- average)

MrThickRopes

Niche concentrations are basically just marketing

MrThickRopes

Don't make a $30,000 decision based on that
