A quick definition of bedrip:

Term: BEDRIP

Definition: BEDRIP is an old-fashioned word that refers to a type of work that a tenant farmer used to do for their landlord. It involved reaping the landlord's grain, which means cutting down the crops when they were ready to be harvested. This work was usually done as part of the tenant's agreement to live on and farm the landlord's land.

A more thorough explanation:

BEDRIP

BEDRIP is a historical term that refers to a copyhold tenant's service of reaping the landlord's grain. It was a type of labor that was required of tenants in exchange for the right to live on and use the land.

For example, if a farmer rented land from a landlord, the landlord might require the farmer to perform BEDRIP as part of the rental agreement. This would mean that the farmer would have to spend a certain amount of time each year reaping the landlord's grain.

Another example might be a tenant who lived on a large estate. The landlord might require the tenant to perform BEDRIP as a way of maintaining the estate's agricultural production.

The examples illustrate how BEDRIP was a form of labor that was required of tenants in exchange for the right to use the land. It was a way for landlords to ensure that their land was being used productively and that they were receiving some benefit from their tenants' labor.

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?
WorthlessAttractiveZombie

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.

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?
