A quick definition of land warrant:

A land warrant is a document that gives someone the right to receive a certain amount of land from the government. It includes a description of the land and the name and address of the person who will receive it. This document is proof that the person has the right to the land and must follow certain legal steps to claim it.

A more thorough explanation:

A land warrant is a legal document issued by the government that entitles a person to receive a certain amount of land by following specific legal procedures. It contains an official description of the land and the name and address of the person receiving the entitlement. The document is considered as evidence of the truth of the matters it contains.

For example, during the 19th century, the United States government issued land warrants to veterans as a form of payment for their military service. These warrants could be used to claim land in the western territories of the country.

Another example is the Homestead Act of 1862, which granted land warrants to settlers who agreed to live on and improve the land for a certain period of time. This encouraged westward expansion and helped to populate the western United States.

These examples illustrate how land warrants were used to distribute land and encourage settlement in the United States. They were an important part of the country's history and helped to shape its development.

All I know is tons of schools had "waves" first week of december last year, like dec 8ish lol I had hoped the human side with thanksgiving's date this year would make them do a wave this week before, like imagine the emotional tie for someone that could get hys getting their duke A this week and celebrating with family, maybe they come to duke now when before it was a no. But the good money bet is that dec 8-17 is when the waves come

I'd only check a status checker to make sure my application is complete. Anything else is just asking for an anxiety attack. Schools will contact us when they have a decision ready.
