A quick definition of month:

Month: A period of time that lasts about 30 days. There are 12 months in a year. Each month has a name, like March or July. A month is a way to keep track of time and when things happen.

A more thorough explanation:

A month is a period of time that the calendar is divided into. There are twelve months in a year. Each month has a different name and number of days. For example, March is a month that has 31 days.

Another way to think of a month is as a time period of approximately 30 days. For example, if you are told that something is due one month from today, you have about 30 days to complete it.

At common law, a month was defined as a period of 28 days. This is because it is the time it takes for the moon to complete one revolution. This is also known as a lunar month.

Finally, a month can also refer to one-twelfth of a tropical year. This is the time it takes for the sun to pass through one sign of the zodiac, which is usually around 30 days. This is also known as a solar month.

Examples:

  • The month of July has 31 days.
  • I have a project due in one month, which means I have about 30 days to complete it.
  • A lunar month is approximately 28 days long.
  • A solar month is approximately 30 days long.

These examples illustrate the different ways that a month can be defined and measured. They show that a month can be a specific period of time on the calendar, or a more general time period of around 30 days. They also show that a month can be measured in different ways, such as by the moon or the sun.

I have not had a date change either for Mich but I've seen people get in without one so who knows

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.
