A killer amendment is a type of amendment that can completely destroy or defeat a proposed law or bill. It is called a "killer" because it has the power to kill the entire proposal. Killing by misadventure refers to an accidental killing, while killing with malice refers to a deliberate and intentional killing. Kin refers to one's family members, including relatives by blood, marriage, or adoption.

A more thorough explanation:

A killer amendment is an amendment that can completely destroy a proposed law or bill. It is called a "killer" because it can effectively kill the entire proposal.

Killing by misadventure refers to a death that occurs accidentally, often as a result of risky behavior or a dangerous situation. For example, if someone dies while participating in an extreme sport, it may be considered killing by misadventure.

Killing with malice refers to a deliberate and intentional act of killing someone. This can include murder or manslaughter, depending on the circumstances surrounding the death.

Kin refers to a person's relatives or family members. This can include blood relatives, as well as those related through marriage or adoption. For example, a person's parents, siblings, and grandparents are all considered kin.

These examples illustrate the different meanings of the term "killer amendment" and related terms such as "killing by misadventure" and "killing with malice." The example of kin shows how the term can be used in a different context to refer to family members.

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.

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

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?

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