Miranda Rule

A quick definition of Miranda Rule:

Term: Miranda Rule

Definition: The Miranda Rule is a warning that police officers must give to people they arrest. The warning tells the person that they have the right to remain silent and that anything they say can be used against them in court. They also have the right to a lawyer, and if they cannot afford one, the government will provide one for them. This rule is named after a court case called Miranda v. Arizona.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The Miranda Rule is a legal requirement that police officers must inform a person in custody of their rights before questioning them. These rights include the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. The Miranda Rule comes from the Supreme Court case Miranda v. Arizona.

Example: If a police officer arrests someone and wants to question them, they must first read them their Miranda rights. The officer might say something like:

"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in court. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you."

This example illustrates how the Miranda Rule works. The police officer must inform the person in custody of their rights before questioning them. If the officer fails to do so, any statements the person makes may not be admissible in court.

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

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

Or another essay?
