A quick definition of a me de superiore meo:

Term: A ME DE SUPERIORE MEO

Definition: A phrase used in feudal land grants that meant "from me, of my superior." This phrase indicated that the grantee would hold the land from the grantor's superior once the feudal title was completed.

Basically, it was a way of saying that the person receiving the land would be holding it on behalf of someone even higher up in the feudal system.

A more thorough explanation:

A ME DE SUPERIORE MEO

A ME DE SUPERIORE MEO is a Latin term used in feudal land grants. It means "from me, of my superior." When a feudal title was completed, the grantee would hold the land of the grantor's superior.

For example, if Lord A granted land to Sir B, and Lord A held the land from King C, then Sir B would hold the land from Lord A, who held it from King C. In this case, Sir B would be the grantee, Lord A would be the grantor, and King C would be the superior.

Another example would be if a king granted land to a duke, who then granted land to a baron. The baron would hold the land from the duke, who held it from the king. In this case, the duke would be the grantor, and the king would be the superior.

These examples illustrate how the phrase "a me de superiore meo" was used to establish the chain of feudal ownership and ensure that the grantee held the land from the ultimate superior.

The "date changes" at Michigan really don't mean anything. We had to do them in undergrad admissions whenever a Georgia applicant picked the country instead of the state, because we'd have to remove the TOEFL requirement and reassign the application from the international application readers.

Classy, does that mean they may look at your application, and that look doesn't necessarily trigger any date change?

@soapy: I don't know for sure about the law school. For undergrad, once the application is complete, it's assigned to a reader the following Monday. If we had to make any changes, it's because a reader saw something that needed to be changed and the application needed to be re-read after that change.

You're welcome. FWIW, I have no idea what's up with the address changes. We didn't have to do any of that, except for the Georgia state vs country kinds of things.

I've heard it theorized that some schools will change the address from "St." --> "Street" as they prepare to send out admissions packets. That's the rumor, anyways.
i think it just indicates a change in status like under review or stages of review
my stanford address went long as soon as it was marked complete lmao

I saw some Reddit adcom say that they can see any time we refresh the status checker; I wonder if it's a red flag if an applicant's checked it like 50 times in a day?

Also, can we send another LoR to a school that we've already applied to?

Or another essay?
