scale

Read a random definition: crit

A quick definition of scale:

Scale can mean a few different things. It can be a range of different wages that people get paid for doing a job. It can also be a tool used to weigh things. In the past, it was also a fee that lawyers charged for certain types of cases in England. The fee depended on the type of case and how much money was involved. If the amount was less than £1,000, a lower fee was charged. If it was more or if the main thing being asked for was an order to stop someone from doing something, a higher fee was charged.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A scale is a range or progression of degrees or rates. It can refer to a range of wage rates, an instrument for weighing, or a fee charged by a solicitor for a particular type of case in the English Supreme Court of Judicature.

  • A company may have a salary scale that ranges from $30,000 to $100,000 depending on the employee's experience and qualifications.
  • A bathroom scale is an instrument used to measure a person's weight.
  • In the English Supreme Court of Judicature, a solicitor may charge a lower scale fee for a case involving debt, contract, or tort, and a higher scale fee for other types of cases.

These examples illustrate how the term "scale" can refer to a range or progression of degrees or rates. In the first example, the scale refers to a range of wage rates based on the employee's qualifications. In the second example, the scale refers to an instrument used to measure weight, which has a range of degrees or units. In the third example, the scale refers to a fee charged by a solicitor, which varies based on the type of case and falls into different ranges or degrees.

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

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?
soapy
10:26
Or another essay?

i'll allow it
