A more thorough explanation:

USQUE AD COELUM

Usque ad coelum is a Latin term that means "up to the sky". It refers to the legal principle that the owner of a piece of land also owns the space above the surface of that land.

For example, if you own a piece of land, you have the right to build a house on it and the airspace above it. This means that no one else can build anything that would interfere with your use of that airspace, such as a tall building or a bridge.

Another example would be if you own a farm and you want to install a wind turbine to generate electricity. You have the right to use the airspace above your land to install the turbine, and no one else can interfere with your use of that airspace.

The examples illustrate the legal principle of usque ad coelum, which gives landowners the right to use and control the airspace above their land. This principle is important in many areas of law, including property law, zoning regulations, and aviation law.

@ParallelAgreeableOrangutan: got that weaponized autism in gear, we out here.
@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?
do you have C&F issues or something?
also ur first choice is kansas but you didnt apply there?

@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
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
12:58
are you R&Ring?
13:00
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.
oh so you submitted the apps with a lower lsat and then retook
got it

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

@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
2:21
While I am unsure of what option you are referring to, I personally just emailed each school and asked for them to hold my app pending my lsat score release.
