all-or-none offering

Read a random definition: grandfathered in

A quick definition of all-or-none offering:

An all-or-none offering is a type of sale of securities where the issuer will only proceed with the sale if the entire block of offered securities is sold. If not, the sale will be terminated. This is different from other types of offerings, such as private or public offerings, which do not have this requirement.

A more thorough explanation:

An all-or-none offering is a type of securities offering where the issuer can cancel the distribution if the entire block of offered securities is not sold. It is a way for the issuer to ensure that they sell all of the securities they are offering or none at all.

  • Initial Public Offering (IPO): A company's first public sale of stock is an example of a primary offering. If the company decides to do an all-or-none offering, they will only sell the stock if all of it is bought by investors.
  • Rights Offering: An issue of stock-purchase rights allowing shareholders to buy newly issued stock at a fixed price, usually below market value, and in proportion to the number of shares they already own. If the company decides to do an all-or-none offering, they will only sell the stock if all of the rights are exercised by shareholders.

These examples illustrate how an all-or-none offering works. The issuer sets a condition that all of the securities must be sold, or the distribution will be canceled. This can be a way for the issuer to ensure that they sell all of the securities they are offering or none at all, which can be beneficial for them in terms of managing their finances and avoiding losses.

I have not had a date change either for Mich but I've seen people get in without one so who knows
I applied 9/25 to like 6 schools and some (Houston) have no date change yet so dw
soapy

But do people get in without addresses going long?

soapy

Ah. I didn't. Looking back, my Mich supplement kind of sucks, so there's that

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.

Ahh, got it. Thank you for the insight!

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.
soapy

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
soapy

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?
soapy

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

Or another essay?
