A quick definition of per contra:

Term: PER CONTRA

Definition: Per contra is a Latin phrase that means "on the other hand" or "to the contrary." It is used to show a contrast between two things or ideas. For example, if someone says "I love hot weather, per contra my friend hates it," they are showing a difference in opinion or preference.

A more thorough explanation:

PER CONTRA

Per contra (pronounced pər kon-trə) is a Latin phrase that means "on the other hand," "to the contrary," or "by contrast."

  • I know you want to go to the beach, but per contra, it's supposed to rain all day.
  • She's not very tall, but per contra, she's an excellent basketball player.

The first example shows how the phrase is used to introduce a contrasting idea. In this case, the speaker is acknowledging that the listener wants to go to the beach, but is pointing out that the weather will not be good for it.

The second example uses per contra to introduce a contrasting quality. The speaker is saying that even though the person is not tall, they are still good at basketball.

But do people get in without addresses going long?
WorthlessAttractiveZombie
9:46
it's tough to tell because a lot of people type out their addresses long to begin with
soapy

Mich overrated (Dean Z please let me in even tho i didnt apply and I am below both 25ths)

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.
