Read a random definition: Seizure

A quick definition of annus, dies, et vastum:

Annus, dies, et vastum is a Latin legal term that refers to the concepts of year, day, and waste. In simpler terms, it means the passage of time, the length of a day, and the destruction or damage of property.

A more thorough explanation:

Term: annus, dies, et vastum
Definition: This is a legal term that means "year, day, and waste." It refers to the time limit for bringing a legal action against someone who has caused damage to property. The "year" refers to the time limit for bringing an action for trespass to land, the "day" refers to the time limit for bringing an action for trespass to goods, and the "waste" refers to the time limit for bringing an action for damage to property. For example, if someone damages your property, you have a limited amount of time to take legal action against them. If you wait too long, you may lose your right to sue them. Example: If someone cuts down trees on your property without your permission, you have one year to take legal action against them for trespass to land. If someone steals your car, you have six years to take legal action against them for trespass to goods. If someone damages your house, you have six years to take legal action against them for waste. These time limits are important because they ensure that legal actions are brought in a timely manner and that people are held accountable for their actions.

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
9:46
But do people get in without addresses going long?
WorthlessAttractiveZombie

it's tough to tell because a lot of people type out their addresses long to begin with
soapy

Ah. I didn't. Looking back, my Mich supplement kind of sucks, so there's that
Mich overrated (Dean Z please let me in even tho i didnt apply and I am below both 25ths)

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.

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?

i'll allow it
