A quick definition of whereas clause:

A whereas clause is a statement that is used in legal documents, such as contracts or agreements, to provide background information or context for the document. It typically begins with the word "whereas" and is followed by a description of the situation or circumstances that led to the creation of the document. This clause is important because it helps to clarify the purpose and intent of the document, and can be used to provide context for any provisions or obligations contained within it.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A whereas clause is a statement in a legal document that provides background information or context for the main purpose of the document. It is often used in preambles or recitals to explain the reasons or motivations behind the document's creation. Example 1: "Whereas, the parties have agreed to enter into this contract for the sale of goods, and whereas the buyer has agreed to pay the seller the agreed-upon price, it is hereby agreed as follows..." Example 2: "Whereas, the city council recognizes the importance of preserving green spaces for the health and well-being of its citizens, and whereas the proposed development project would result in the destruction of a significant portion of the city's parkland, it is hereby resolved that the project be denied." In Example 1, the whereas clause provides context for the contract by explaining the agreement between the parties involved. In Example 2, the whereas clause explains the reasoning behind the city council's decision to deny a proposed development project. Both examples illustrate how whereas clauses are used to provide background information or context for legal documents.

Lmaoo the Zoom seminars
GW is requesting my fall transcripts (I had intended to apply during the fall semester when I requested them, but had three hurricanes-one with water rescues in my neighborhood-an emergency 2 1/2 week trip to Colorado to say goodbye to my mother-in-law, then I received my service dog, which required another eight days away from school for training), so I ended up applying this month. If I request new transcripts through LSAC, does each school I applied to receive them? I'm hoping to not have to write an addendum of why all of my narrative evaluations mention my busy schedule or that I had to miss classes and whatnot. (My school doesn't do letter grades.)

It sucks cause I feel like I fucked up my video statement but the rest of my app was strong and now the video statement isn't even a requirement
I think as long as you haven't been R or WL, you're still in the running! I don't think they'd leave anyone hanging if they already knew! <3

Tried negotiating scholarships with the school but they basically called my bluff saying I have to share other letters by the deposit deadline to get any $. It feels good to bet on myself though
