NIMA

Read a random definition: Overbreadth

A quick definition of NIMA:

NIMA stands for National Imaging and Mapping Agency. A dividend is a portion of a company's earnings or profits distributed to its shareholders. There are different types of dividends, such as cash dividends, stock dividends, and property dividends. A cumulative dividend grows from year to year when not paid, while a noncumulative dividend does not accrue for the benefit of a preferred shareholder if there is a passed dividend in a particular year or period. A liquidation dividend is paid to a dissolving corporation's shareholders, usually from the capital of the corporation, upon the decision to suspend all or part of its business operations.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: NIMA stands for National Imaging and Mapping Agency. It is an organization that deals with imaging and mapping on a national level.

Definition: A dividend is a portion of a company's earnings or profits that is distributed to its shareholders. This distribution can be in the form of cash or additional shares. For example, if a company makes a profit of $100 and decides to distribute $20 as a dividend, each shareholder will receive $20 for each share they own.

Examples:

  • Cash dividend: A company distributes a portion of its profits to its shareholders in the form of cash.
  • Stock dividend: A company distributes a portion of its profits to its shareholders in the form of additional shares.
  • Cumulative dividend: A dividend that grows from year to year when not paid. It is usually on preferred shares, and it must be paid in full before common shareholders may receive any dividend.
  • Extraordinary dividend: A dividend paid in addition to a regular dividend, usually because of exceptional corporate profits during the dividend period.

The examples illustrate how a dividend is a distribution of a company's profits to its shareholders. A cash dividend is a distribution in the form of cash, while a stock dividend is a distribution in the form of additional shares. A cumulative dividend grows from year to year when not paid, and an extraordinary dividend is paid in addition to a regular dividend.

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?

Ah. I didn't. Looking back, my Mich supplement kind of sucks, so there's that

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?

What a good day to get into law school

@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
soapy
10:25
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?
soapy
10:25
Also, can we send another LoR to a school that we've already applied to?
soapy
10:26
Or another essay?

i'll allow it
