Mirror Image Rule

Read a random definition: commutation

A quick definition of Mirror Image Rule:

The Mirror Image Rule is a rule in contract law that says if you agree to something, you have to agree to everything that was offered. This means that if someone offers you something, and you want to accept it, you can't change any of the terms. However, in modern times, there are some exceptions to this rule, and sometimes you can still have a contract even if you change some of the terms.

A more thorough explanation:

The Mirror Image Rule is a doctrine in contract law that requires any acceptance to be an unconditional agreement to the terms of the offer. This means that the acceptance must match the offer exactly, or there will be no binding contract.

For example, if someone offers to sell a car for $10,000 and the other person agrees to buy the car for $9,000, there is no binding contract because the acceptance does not match the offer.

However, in modern commercial settings, a binding contract can still be recognized even if there are minor discrepancies between the offer and acceptance. For instance, under the Uniform Commercial Code, a clearly expressed acceptance can create a binding sales contract even if the acceptance contains added or different terms when compared to the offer.

An example of this would be if someone offers to sell a car for $10,000 and the other person agrees to buy the car for $9,000 but also adds a condition that the car must be delivered within a week. This would still create a binding contract under the Uniform Commercial Code because the acceptance was clearly expressed and the added condition did not materially alter the offer.

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
soapy

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

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?
