assurer

Read a random definition: Agricultural Research Service

A quick definition of assurer:

Assurer: A person or company that agrees to take on the risk of someone else's loss and compensate them for that loss. This is also known as an insurer or underwriter. For life insurance, they may be referred to as an assurer. A primary insurer is responsible for settling a claim up to the policy limit before any other insurer becomes liable, while an excess insurer is liable for settling any part of a claim not covered by the primary insurer. A quasi-insurer is a service provider, like an innkeeper or common carrier, who is held to strict liability in the provision of services.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: An assurer is another term for an insurer. It refers to a person or company that agrees, through a contract, to take on the risk of another person's loss and compensate them for that loss. This term is commonly used in the context of life insurance.

Examples: If someone buys a life insurance policy, the assurer (or insurer) agrees to pay out a certain amount of money to the policyholder's beneficiaries upon their death. Another example would be a car insurance policy, where the assurer agrees to cover the cost of damages or injuries resulting from a car accident.

Explanation: The examples illustrate how an assurer (or insurer) takes on the risk of another person's loss. In both cases, the policyholder pays a premium to the assurer in exchange for the assurance that they will be compensated in the event of a loss. This allows the policyholder to have peace of mind and financial protection in case of an unexpected event.

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?
soapy

Or another essay?
