A quick definition of in point:

Term: In Point

Definition: When someone says something is "in point," it means they are discussing the exact issue that is currently being discussed. It is relevant and appropriate to the topic at hand. This term is also known as "on point." The opposite of "in point" is "off point," which means something is not relevant or appropriate to the current discussion.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: When something is "in point," it means that it is directly related to the current issue being discussed. It is relevant and appropriate to the topic at hand.

For example, if a group of lawyers are discussing a case about a car accident, a witness's testimony about the weather conditions at the time of the accident would be "in point" because it directly relates to the case. However, if the witness started talking about their favorite TV show, that would be "off point" because it is not relevant to the case.

Example: During a debate about gun control laws, statistics about gun violence in other countries may not be "in point" because they do not directly relate to the laws being discussed. However, statistics about gun violence in the United States would be "in point" because they are directly related to the topic at hand.

But do people get in without addresses going long?

WorthlessAttractiveZombie

it's tough to tell because a lot of people type out their addresses long to begin with

soapy

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.

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

10:25

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

10:25

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

soapy

10:26

Or another essay?
