emancipatio

A quick definition of emancipatio:

Emancipation is when someone who was under the control of another person is set free. This can happen in different ways. For example, a parent can agree to let their child be free and keep their own money. Or, if a parent doesn't take care of their child, the child can become free by law. Sometimes, getting married or joining the military can also make someone free. When someone is emancipated, they are no longer under the legal control of their parent or guardian.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Emancipatio refers to the act of freeing someone who was under another's power and control. This can include the surrender and renunciation of rights and duties concerning the care, custody, and earnings of a child. Emancipation can occur through an agreement between a parent and child, by operation of law, or when the child gets legally married or enters the armed forces.

Examples:

  • A father agrees to emancipate his 17-year-old son, giving him the right to his own earnings and freeing the father from all legal obligations of support.
  • A mother fails to support her child for an extended period of time, resulting in the child being considered constructively emancipated by law.
  • A 16-year-old girl gets legally married, which results in her emancipation from her parents' control.

These examples illustrate how emancipation can occur through various means, including voluntary agreement, legal action, or life events such as marriage or military service. In each case, the individual who was previously under another's control is freed and given greater autonomy and independence.

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?
