A quick definition of pupillarity:

Term: PUPILLARITY

Definition: Pupillarity is a fancy word that means the time in a person's life from when they are a baby until they become a teenager. It's a special time when we grow and learn a lot about the world around us.

A more thorough explanation:

PUPILLARITY

Pupillarity is a term used in Scots and civil law to describe the stage of a person's life that starts from infancy and ends at puberty.

During pupillarity, a child is considered to be under the legal guardianship of their parents or other appointed guardians. This means that the child's parents or guardians are responsible for making decisions on their behalf, such as where they live, what school they attend, and what medical treatment they receive.

For example, if a child falls ill during pupillarity, their parents or guardians would be responsible for taking them to the doctor and making decisions about their treatment. Similarly, if the child's parents were to separate or divorce during this time, they would need to make arrangements for the child's care and custody.

Another example of pupillarity is the age at which a child can legally consent to sexual activity. In Scotland, the age of consent is 16, which means that anyone under this age is considered to be in a state of pupillarity and unable to give legal consent.

These examples illustrate how pupillarity is a period of life when a child is still developing and requires the guidance and protection of their parents or guardians. It is a time when important decisions are made on their behalf, and when they are not yet considered to have the legal capacity to make their own choices.

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.
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

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

Also, can we send another LoR to a school that we've already applied to?

Or another essay?
