Electronic Communications Privacy Act

Read a random definition: co-operative (co-op)

A quick definition of Electronic Communications Privacy Act:

The Electronic Communications Privacy Act is a law that says the government can't listen to or read your phone calls, emails, or text messages without a good reason. It's like a rule that says people can't look at your diary without your permission. The law helps protect your privacy and keep your personal information safe.

A more thorough explanation:

The Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) is a law that restricts the government's ability to access oral, wire, and electronic communications. This means that the government cannot listen in on your phone calls, read your emails, or access your text messages without a warrant or your consent.

For example, if the police suspect that you are involved in criminal activity and want to listen in on your phone calls, they must first obtain a warrant from a judge. They cannot simply tap your phone without your knowledge or consent.

Another example is if the government wants to access your emails or text messages stored on a third-party server, such as Gmail or Facebook. They must first obtain a warrant or a court order, and the provider must comply with certain requirements before disclosing the information.

The ECPA is important because it protects our privacy rights and ensures that the government cannot invade our personal communications without a valid reason. It also helps to prevent abuse of power and ensures that law enforcement agencies follow proper procedures when investigating crimes.

Ah. I didn't. Looking back, my Mich supplement kind of sucks, so there's that

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
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
10:25
Also, can we send another LoR to a school that we've already applied to?
soapy
10:26
Or another essay?
10:30
i'll allow it
