A quick definition of Represent:

Represent: To act on behalf of someone else, like a lawyer representing a client in court or negotiations. It can also mean that a group of people in a lawsuit are seen as representing others who are affected by the case. In some places, it means to manage and distribute someone's assets after they die. In government, a representative is someone who is elected to make laws for a specific area. Represent can also mean to say or do something that shows a fact is true.

A more thorough explanation:

Represent means:

  1. To act as someone's agent or attorney.
  2. To be a lawyer for someone in court or in negotiations.
  3. To have a close alignment of interests in a class action lawsuit, where all litigants are treated as present in the case.
  4. To serve as an executor of an estate, managing and distributing the assets of a deceased person.
  5. To be an elected member of a legislative body who makes laws on behalf of citizens in a specific geographic area.
  6. To show or express something as a fact through words or actions.
  • An attorney can represent a client in court, negotiating a settlement, or making a deal.
  • In a class action lawsuit, the litigating parties are representative parties of the other affected but non-litigating class members.
  • A personal representative can be appointed to manage and distribute the assets of a deceased person's estate.
  • A member of Congress represents the citizens of their district by making laws on their behalf.
  • A business owner can represent that there are no pending lawsuits against their business.

These examples illustrate how represent can mean acting on behalf of someone else, managing someone's assets, or making laws for a specific group of people. It can also mean expressing something as a fact, which can be important in legal or business contexts.

Hey just wondering how to filter data by international Gpa? Can't seem to find this filter option
9:40
There’s no intuitive way to do this. The only way I can find is by going to each individual school, scrolling to the part that shows you all applicants for that year, and clicking on the GPA button until it filters them for the blank ones first. I’ve found by clicking on profiles that the ones with an LSAT listed and no GPA are almost universally international
