incentive stock option

Read a random definition: act of law

A quick definition of incentive stock option:

Incentive Stock Option: A type of stock option that is given to employees as a reward for their hard work and dedication to the company. This option allows employees to purchase company stock at a discounted price, which can be a great way to invest in the company and potentially earn a profit. However, there are certain rules and restrictions that must be followed in order to qualify for this type of option.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: An incentive stock option is a type of stock option that is granted to employees as a form of compensation. It allows employees to purchase company stock at a discounted price, usually at the current market value, and hold onto it for a certain period of time before selling it for a profit.

Example: Company XYZ grants John, one of its employees, an incentive stock option to purchase 1,000 shares of company stock at $10 per share. The current market value of the stock is $15 per share. John exercises his option and purchases the shares for $10,000. He holds onto the shares for two years before selling them for $20,000, making a profit of $10,000.

Explanation: In this example, John is granted an incentive stock option as a form of compensation for his work at Company XYZ. He is able to purchase the company's stock at a discounted price and hold onto it for a certain period of time before selling it for a profit. This allows John to benefit from the success of the company and incentivizes him to work hard to improve the company's performance.

I have not had a date change either for Mich but I've seen people get in without one so who knows

But do people get in without addresses going long?
WorthlessAttractiveZombie

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
