A quick definition of school:

A school is a place where children go to learn and get an education. There are different types of schools, such as public schools that are free and open to all children in the area, and private schools that require payment and have specific requirements for admission. Students in a school are taught by teachers and work together to learn new things. School can also refer to the group of students who attend a particular school or the beliefs and ideas that they share.

A more thorough explanation:

School is an institution where students go to learn and receive an education. It is usually for children, but can also be for adults. There are different types of schools, such as:

  • Public school: A school that is established by the state and funded by public taxes. It is open to all children in the district where the school is located.
  • Private school: A school that is maintained by private individuals, religious organizations, or corporations. It is funded by fees or tuition and is open only to pupils selected and admitted based on religious affiliations or other particular qualifications.
  • Common school: Another term for public school.
  • District school: A public school that is contained in and maintained by a school district.

The word "school" can also refer to the collective body of students under instruction in an institution of learning, or a group of people adhering to the same philosophy or system of beliefs.

  • John attends a public school in his district.
  • Mary's parents decided to send her to a private school because they wanted her to receive a religious education.
  • The school board decided to close down the district school due to budget cuts.
  • The school of thought that emphasizes individualism is called libertarianism.

These examples illustrate the different types of schools and how the word "school" can also refer to a group of people with a shared belief system.

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
