A quick definition of debasement:

Term: DEBASEMENT

Definition: Debasement is when something becomes less valuable, less pure, or of lower quality. This can happen to coins when the amount of gold or silver in them is reduced or when more of another metal is added. It can also refer to a person or thing being degraded or lowered in status.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Debasement is the act of reducing the value, quality, or purity of something. This can happen in different ways, such as lowering the value of coins by reducing the amount of gold or silver in them, or by increasing the amount of other metals. Debasement can also refer to degradation or the state of being degraded.

  • During the Roman Empire, rulers would often debase their coins by reducing the amount of precious metals in them. This allowed them to produce more coins and finance their wars and expenses, but it also led to inflation and a loss of trust in the currency.
  • A company that used to produce high-quality products may engage in debasement by cutting corners, using cheaper materials, or reducing the quality of their customer service. This can lead to a decline in customer satisfaction and loyalty.
  • A person who engages in debasement of their own character may lie, cheat, or engage in unethical behavior. This can lead to a loss of respect and trust from others, as well as a sense of guilt and shame.

These examples illustrate how debasement can happen in different contexts and have different consequences. Whether it's a currency, a product, or a person's character, debasement can lead to a loss of value, trust, and respect.

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

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
