Uniform Code of Military Justice

A quick definition of Uniform Code of Military Justice:

The Uniform Code of Military Justice is a set of rules that tells people in the military how to behave and what will happen if they break the rules. It's like a big book of laws that only applies to people in the military.

A more thorough explanation:

The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) is a set of federal laws that govern the behavior and legal proceedings for members of the United States military. It outlines the rules and regulations that military personnel must follow and the consequences for violating them.

For example, the UCMJ prohibits military personnel from engaging in certain behaviors such as fraternization, hazing, and sexual harassment. If a service member is found guilty of violating these rules, they may face disciplinary action such as demotion, loss of pay, or even imprisonment.

The UCMJ also outlines the legal procedures for military trials, including the rights of the accused and the responsibilities of the prosecution. This ensures that military personnel are held accountable for their actions while also protecting their rights.

Do you think you can use being on the Harvard Wl to ask for more money? Like say you'll withdraw if they give you more?

If 1 in 10 Harvard waitlistees in their class of 2027 get into HLS (average A % off the HLS waitlist), the school is better served by offering that student more $ than offering the other 9 in 10 more $ than they have to and the one that gets into HLS less than they need to

@NaughtyTeenyWeenyPebble: Looking at last cycle's stats, 16 people logged the date of their HLS waitlist offer and 6 of those were made by 5/19 (the other 10 came later). It's a small sample, and every cycle is different, but it's entirely possible more WL offers are coming

1. Spend the time on the LSAT early, if you can hit your target score this summer it will free up lots of time for essays etc. later when things are busy
jb2028

2. Depending on the schools you're looking at, being at/above LSAT median can be enough. The higher you can get your GPA, the better, but half the class is going to be at/below each median - that's how medians work
jb2028
22:52
If you're above a median (particularly LSAT median) and the other stat isn't way below, numbers alone won't keep you out. Past that point, softs/essays/recs are what gets you in.
jb2028
22:54
YMMV, it will matter what "lower than outstanding" means (3.7? 3.3?)

Can't start a fire. You can't start a fire without a spark. This gun's for hire. Even we're just dancing in the dark. You sit around getting older. There's a joke. It's wild and it's on me. I shake this world off my shoulders. Come on, baby, the laugh's on me.
