Drago doctrine

Read a random definition: satisfaction of mortgage

A quick definition of Drago doctrine:

Drago Doctrine: The Drago Doctrine is a rule that says no country should use force or take over another country's land to collect money that is owed to them. This rule was made by Luis Drago, who was a leader in Argentina, in 1902. He made this rule because he thought it was wrong for powerful countries to use force to get money from weaker countries. The Drago Doctrine was later changed a little bit and became a rule that many countries agreed to follow.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The Drago Doctrine is a principle that states that no public debt should be collected from a sovereign state by force or through the occupation of American territory by a foreign power. It was asserted by Luis Drago, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Argentine Republic, in a letter to the Argentine Minister in Washington in 1902.

For example, when Great Britain and others used forcible coercion to collect unpaid loans from Venezuela, Luis Drago argued that this was not acceptable. He believed that a foreign power should not be allowed to occupy American territory to collect a debt from a sovereign state. This principle was later modified and adopted at the Hague Conference of 1907.

Definition: Drain refers to the act of drawing a liquid off gradually or the act of gradually exhausting something. It can also refer to a conduit for draining liquid, such as a ditch or a pipe.

For example, a farmer may drain water from their property by using a pipe or ditch to gradually draw the water off. Similarly, a facility may drain the area's natural resources by gradually exhausting them over time. In both cases, the liquid or resources are being removed gradually and over a period of time.

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?

What a good day to get into law school

@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?

i'll allow it
