constructive adverse possession

Read a random definition: LRE

A quick definition of constructive adverse possession:

Constructive Adverse Possession: Constructive adverse possession is a legal term that refers to the use or enjoyment of real property with a claim of right when that use or enjoyment is continuous, exclusive, hostile, open, and notorious. It can also refer to adverse possession by operation of law, where a possessor holds title to the property and corporeally possesses part of it, and is deemed to have constructive possession of the rest of the property described in the title. Essentially, it means that if someone uses or occupies a piece of land for a certain amount of time, they may be able to claim ownership of it, even if they don't have a legal title to it.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Constructive adverse possession is a legal concept where a person can claim ownership of a property by paying taxes on it, even if they do not physically possess it.

For example, if someone pays property taxes on a piece of land for a certain number of years, they may be able to claim ownership of that land through constructive adverse possession, even if they never actually lived on or used the land.

This concept is based on the idea that if someone is paying taxes on a property, they are essentially treating it as their own and should be able to claim ownership over time.

Overall, constructive adverse possession is a way for someone to gain ownership of a property through a legal loophole, even if they did not acquire it through traditional means like buying it or inheriting it.

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?
