A quick definition of confess:

Confess: To confess means to admit that you did something wrong. In the legal world, it usually means admitting that you committed a crime. You can confess to the police or in court, but it has to be your choice to do so. Nobody can force you to confess. If you confess, it can be used against you in court. However, if you weren't told your rights when you were arrested, your confession might not count. Confess can also mean admitting to something in other situations, like saying you broke a vase or ate all the cookies.

A more thorough explanation:

Confess means to admit to doing something wrong. In legal terms, it usually refers to admitting guilt for a crime. A confession can be given to a police officer or in court, but it must be voluntary. This means that the confession cannot be forced or obtained through threats or torture.

If someone confesses to a crime, it can only be used as evidence in court if they were given their Miranda rights. These rights include the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. If someone confesses without being given these rights, their confession may not be admissible in court.

Confess can also be used in other contexts. For example, in a civil case, a confession may refer to a statement against interest. This means that someone admits to something that is not in their best interest.

One example of a confession is when someone admits to stealing something. Another example is when someone confesses to cheating on a test. These examples illustrate how confessing means admitting to doing something wrong.

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?

Or another essay?
