A quick definition of M.:

Term: M.

Definition: M. can mean different things depending on the context. It can stand for "mortgage," which is a loan people take out to buy a house. It can also refer to a letter engraved on a treasury note to show that the note earns a tiny bit of interest. In the past, it was also a brand placed on the thumb of someone who was found guilty of manslaughter and claimed the benefit of clergy.

A more thorough explanation:

M. can mean different things depending on the context:

  1. MORTGAGE: M. is an abbreviation for the word "mortgage." A mortgage is a loan that you take out to buy a property, like a house or a piece of land. You pay back the loan over time, usually with interest.
  2. Historical: In the past, M. was used in different ways:
    • A letter engraved on a treasury note to show that the note bears interest at the rate of one mill per centum.
    • A brand placed on the left thumb of a person convicted of manslaughter who claimed the benefit of clergy.

Here are some examples to help you understand how M. can be used:

  • MORTGAGE: John took out a $200,000 M. to buy his dream home.
  • Historical: In the 19th century, some treasury notes had the letter M. engraved on them to indicate that they earned a very small amount of interest.
  • Historical: In medieval times, if someone committed manslaughter but could read, they could claim the benefit of clergy and avoid the death penalty. However, they would be branded with the letter M. on their thumb as a sign of their crime.

These examples show that M. can have different meanings depending on the context. In the first example, M. stands for "mortgage," which is a type of loan. In the second and third examples, M. is a historical abbreviation that was used to indicate interest on treasury notes or to brand convicted criminals.

I have not had a date change either for Mich but I've seen people get in without one so who knows
I applied 9/25 to like 6 schools and some (Houston) have no date change yet so dw

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
