A quick definition of safe house:

Term: SAFE HOUSE

Definition: A safe house is a place where people can live safely and anonymously under protection. Safe houses can be used for many different reasons, both legal and illegal. Some safe houses are used to protect people who have been threatened or are in danger, such as abused spouses or runaway children. Others are used by law enforcement agencies for undercover operations or to protect witnesses. Unfortunately, some people also use safe houses to hide criminal activity, like making drugs.

A more thorough explanation:

A safe house is a place where people can live under protection, usually in secrecy. It can be used for legal or illegal purposes.

  • Shelters for abused spouses and runaway children are safe houses.
  • Law enforcement agencies use safe houses for undercover operations and to protect witnesses who have been threatened.
  • Criminals may use safe houses to hide from the police or to conduct illegal activities such as drug manufacturing.

These examples illustrate how safe houses can be used for different purposes. They can provide a safe haven for those in need of protection, but they can also be used for criminal activities. It is important to distinguish between legal and illegal uses of safe houses.

Baylor status date disappeared, does that mean anything?
email from lawhub says "One of the law schools you applied to has updated your application status." But I don't notice any changes when I log in. Anyone have experience with that?
17:52
@AromaticTroubledDormouse: yes, go the the specific app and it should be either marked with a dot or incomplete. many times for me it was the instructions
1a2b3c4d26z
17:52
@RustyWrangler: apparently the date change means they've made a decision?
1a2b3c4d26z
17:54
So I usually try to stay out of reading tea leaves regarding status checkers & the like for my own sake but this one has always piqued my interest bc apparently it's just 1 date change and then they give you your decision
when y'all say lawhub, you're just talking about lsac, right? ._.
Basically. You can check your application status through lawhub, which is sort of a dashboard that a lot of schools (Penn, Georgetown, etc.) use instead of their own application status tracker. https://app.lawhub.org/
@llama unfortunately I still don't notice any change, but thank you for your idea
I got a 173, am I getting into WashU with their new medians? 173 -50th 176 - 75th
18:26
@couldvescoredhigher: very likely.
@llama: appreciate it. It seems like as long as their 50th% doesn't go up next year I'll be fine
18:28
did you redact your gpa?
1a2b3c4d26z
18:31
Wait so does anyone have any info on this re UMich date change? Decision soon?
Yea I applied redacted gpa, with 5 years WE
But I know they're hyper focused on numbers
18:33
@couldvescoredhigher: nice yeah I cant see you not getting an A.
18:34
UMich- I be there is some movement this week. A few things point to a wave
@llama: any guess on what the odds are that their 50th LSAT goes up? And then all of us 173s are fucked cause they want 174s
18:36
@couldvescoredhigher: so their '23 & '22 deltas for LSAT: 25pth: -2
18:37
median: +1 and 75pth: +1. I bet their median and 75pth increases one pt.
Jeez, so I might be out of luck if that trend continues. RIP
Their 50th stayed the same this year, so maybe they've maxed out on the potential to keep that moving up. Only Harvard and Yale above them now
18:41
@couldvescoredhigher: If I had to guess they will try to increase their 75pth.
18:41
I cannot wait to see the 2024 509reports.
Have you seen this spreadsheet? Gives an idea at least for the GPA/LSAT that will be on 509s
18:45
@couldvescoredhigher: no thanks for the link. I forgot they do a pre 509 numbers. Thank you.
No prob. Interesting stuff in here. Yale median actually went down and
