Read a random definition: fraudulent debt

A quick definition of placitum et conventio:

PLACITUM ET CONVENTIO: This term means that people have agreed on something together. It's like when you and your friends decide on what game to play or what movie to watch. Sometimes, everyone agrees without any problems, and this is called consensus. Other times, people might have different ideas, and they need to vote to decide. Consensus is a good way to make decisions because it allows everyone to have a say and find a solution that works for everyone.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Placitum et conventio is a Latin term that refers to consensus ad idem, which means a general agreement or collective opinion. It is a decision-making procedure that allows for compromise and is often used in small groups where less formality is required.

Example: In a Quaker meeting, members sit in silence until someone feels moved to speak. The group then discusses the issue until a consensus is reached. This method allows everyone to have a say and ensures that decisions are made collectively.

Explanation: The example illustrates how placitum et conventio works in practice. The Quaker meeting is a small group where less formality is required, and the decision-making process is based on consensus. Members are encouraged to speak their minds, and the group works together to find a solution that everyone can agree on. This method ensures that everyone's voice is heard and that decisions are made collectively.

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.

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?
