A quick definition of effective date:

Term: Effective Date

Definition: The effective date is the day when a law, agreement, or other legal document becomes valid and can be enforced. It may not be the same day as when it was signed or created.

A more thorough explanation:

The effective date refers to the date on which a legally binding agreement, such as a contract or statute, becomes enforceable and takes effect. This date may or may not be the same as the date on which the agreement was signed or executed.

  • Employment Contract: An employment contract may have an effective date of January 1st, even if it was signed on December 15th. This means that the terms of the contract, such as salary and benefits, will not go into effect until January 1st.
  • Insurance Policy: An insurance policy may have an effective date of July 1st, even if it was purchased on June 15th. This means that coverage will not begin until July 1st.
  • Law: A new law may have an effective date of January 1st, even if it was signed by the governor on December 15th. This means that the law will not be enforced until January 1st.

These examples illustrate how the effective date is the date on which an agreement or law becomes enforceable, even if it was signed or executed on a different date.

I just noticed that UMich has the majority of their acceptances really early on. Does anyone know what happens to mid-November applicants? Are we just cooked?

How long can I delay sending my fall grades if they hurt my GPA? I’m still waiting on decisions and ideally I’m hoping they decide BEFORE seeing my new grades
TGM
18:27
dropped my GPA below median for a couple of schools I’m applying to, when I was above median before
Dkk
18:32
@TGM: Not long enough to get another transcript to recover.
Dkk
18:33
Honestly you could just wait until someone actually asks for your fall grades. Who knows.
Dkk
18:34
@wigwav: It looks like if below medians it will not help but If applying in November it seems you are still middle of the cycle.
18:34
@wigwav: nah
TGM
18:34
like am I expected to send it unprompted or can I wait until a school requested it
Dkk
18:35
@TGM: Expected to send it unprompted but you can wait and see.
18:36
Is your LSAT also below median?
TGM
18:37
It’s above median, but I’m applying T6 with unimpressive softs, so even with a good LSAT it’s tough
texaslawhopefully
18:38
Yeah, then I would just wait as long as you can to send it
texaslawhopefully
18:38
For like HLS at least, if you wait till J6 then you may already have a decision
TGM
18:39
@texaslawhopefully: alas, haven’t even gotten an interview (applied around thanksgiving)
18:39
Yeah I would delay as long as you have plausible deniability
TGM
