A quick definition of facies:

Term: FACIES

Definition: Facies means the way something looks on the outside. It's like the face of something, or the surface that you can see and touch.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Facies (fay-shee-eez) is a Latin word that refers to the outward appearance or surface of something.

  • The facies of a rock can tell us about the environment in which it was formed.
  • The facies of a person's skin can reveal their age, health, and lifestyle.
  • The facies of a building can give us clues about its architectural style and historical context.

These examples illustrate how facies refers to the external characteristics of different objects or entities. By examining the facies of a rock, we can learn about the conditions in which it was formed, such as whether it was in a marine or terrestrial environment. Similarly, the facies of a person's skin can reveal information about their overall health and lifestyle choices. Finally, the facies of a building can provide insights into its design and the historical period in which it was constructed.

I applied 9/25 to like 6 schools and some (Houston) have no date change yet so dw
soapy

But do people get in without addresses going long?
WorthlessAttractiveZombie
9:46
it's tough to tell because a lot of people type out their addresses long to begin with
soapy

Mich overrated (Dean Z please let me in even tho i didnt apply and I am below both 25ths)

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.
soapy

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.
soapy

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
