A quick definition of chief baron:

A Chief Baron was the presiding judge of the English Court of Exchequer. This court was responsible for dealing with financial matters of the government. The Chief Baron was the most important judge in this court. However, the office was abolished in 1880 and the Lord Chief Justice of England became the presiding judge through the Judicature Act of 1925.

The Barons of the Exchequer were the six judges of the Court of Exchequer. This court dealt with financial matters of the government. After the transfer of the Court's jurisdiction to the High Court of Justice in 1873, the judges were known as justices of the High Court. They were also called barones scaccarii.

A more thorough explanation:

A Chief Baron is a historical term used to refer to the presiding judge of the English Court of Exchequer. This court was responsible for dealing with financial matters related to the Crown, such as taxes and revenue collection.

The position of Chief Baron was abolished in 1880 after the death of Chief Baron Kelly. The Judicature Act of 1925 then made the Lord Chief Justice of England the presiding judge.

The Barons of the Exchequer were the six judges who served on the Court of Exchequer. This court was responsible for handling financial disputes and collecting taxes for the Crown.

After the transfer of the Court's jurisdiction to the High Court of Justice in 1873, the judges were known as Justices of the High Court.

For example, if someone had a dispute with the Crown over taxes owed, they would have to appear before the Barons of the Exchequer to have their case heard and decided upon.

I have not had a date change either for Mich but I've seen people get in without one so who knows

soapy

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?
soapy

Or another essay?
