A quick definition of angel investor:

An angel investor is someone who gives money to a new company to help it grow. They usually give a lot of money and in return, they get a part of the company. This is different from a bank loan because the angel investor is taking a risk and might not get their money back. Angel investors are usually rich people who want to help new businesses. They are also called private investors, seed investors, business angels, or informal investors. To be an angel investor, you need to have a lot of money or make a lot of money every year. The government has rules about who can be an angel investor and who can't. Sometimes, new companies can ask lots of people for money, but they have to be careful how they do it. They can only ask people who have a lot of money and they have to check that those people really have a lot of money.

A more thorough explanation:

An angel investor is a wealthy individual who invests their own money in emerging companies in exchange for ownership equity or convertible debt. They typically provide funding between the initial seed funding stage and venture capital financing. Angel investors are also known as private investors, seed investors, business angels, or informal investors.

Angel investors are often crucial for entrepreneurs who struggle to secure cheaper sources of financing such as bank loans. They invest their own funds, unlike venture capitalists who invest others' pooled funds. Angel investors are usually considered accredited investors, meaning they meet certain financial criteria set by federal law.

For example, an angel investor might provide $100,000 to a startup company in exchange for a 10% ownership stake. This investment helps the company grow and develop, and the angel investor hopes to make a profit when the company becomes successful.

Historically, angel investors have made their investments in unregistered, private offerings under either Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or under Rule 506(b) of Regulation D. However, the SEC's new 506(c) exemption permits entrepreneurial ventures to engage in general solicitation to offer securities as long as the securities are sold only to accredited investors and the issuer takes "reasonable steps to verify" the purchaser's accredited status.

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?

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?

What a good day to get into law school

@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
10:25
Also, can we send another LoR to a school that we've already applied to?
soapy
10:26
Or another essay?
10:30
i'll allow it
