immatriculation

Read a random definition: balanced fund

A quick definition of immatriculation:

Immatriculation is when a ship is given permission to fly a country's flag and is registered as a ship of that country. It's like when you get a passport to show which country you belong to, but for a ship.

Immaturity means not being fully grown up or developed yet. It's like when you're still a kid and haven't become an adult yet. Sometimes people make mistakes because they're still immature and haven't learned everything they need to know.

Immediate means happening right away, without any delay. It's like when you ask for a glass of water and someone brings it to you immediately. It can also mean something that has a big impact right away, without anything else getting in the way.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The process of granting nationality to a merchant ship and enrolling it on the national registry, allowing it to fly the flag of the registering nation.

  • When a ship is immatriculated, it is given the right to fly the flag of the country it is registered in.
  • Immatriculation is important for a ship because it determines the laws and regulations that apply to it while at sea.

These examples illustrate how immatriculation is a legal process that determines a ship's nationality and the laws that apply to it. It is similar to a person obtaining a passport and citizenship in a country.

Definition: Happening without delay or interruption, having a direct impact.

  • When there is an emergency, it is important to take immediate action to prevent harm.
  • After the earthquake, the immediate concern was to rescue people trapped in the rubble.

These examples show how immediate refers to something that happens quickly and has a direct impact. It is often used in situations where time is of the essence, such as emergencies or disasters.

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

Also, can we send another LoR to a school that we've already applied to?

Or another essay?
