Feelin a bit stressed, as I've got no date change for Michigan either despite applying 10/7

WorthlessAttractiveZombie

9:45

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

9:46

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

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

10:12

Ahh, got it. Thank you for the insight!

ClassyPleasantHeron

10:14

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
