A quick definition of estop:

Term: Estop

Definition: Estop means to stop someone from saying or doing something. In law, estoppel is a way to prevent someone from making a claim or argument. For example, if someone makes a promise and another person relies on that promise, the first person cannot later say that there was no promise. This is called promissory estoppel. In court, collateral estoppel prevents someone from re-litigating an issue that has already been decided.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: To estop means to prevent a party from asserting a claim, right, or argument. This is done through the process of estoppel, which is used by courts to prevent parties from making certain claims.

In contract law, promissory estoppel is used to prevent a party from claiming that no contract exists when another party has relied on a promise made by the first party. For example, if a company promises to pay an employee a certain amount of money, and the employee relies on that promise to make financial decisions, the company cannot later claim that no contract existed.

In civil and criminal law, collateral estoppel is used to prevent parties from re-litigating issues that have already been decided. For example, if a person is found not guilty of a crime, they cannot be tried again for the same crime based on the same evidence.

These examples illustrate how estoppel is used to prevent parties from making certain claims or arguments. It is a way to ensure fairness and prevent parties from taking advantage of others.

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

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
