A quick definition of serva aliena:

Serva aliena: A serva aliena is a type of servant or slave in ancient Rome. They were considered property and could be bought, sold, and even inherited. If a serva aliena was freed, they could become a Roman citizen. Today, we recognize that owning another person is wrong and against human rights.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Serva aliena is a Latin term that refers to a female slave or servant who is owned by someone else. In Roman law, a serva aliena was considered as property and could be bought, sold, or inherited.

Examples: In ancient Rome, wealthy families often owned several serva aliena who worked as domestic servants, cooks, or even as concubines. These women had no legal rights and were completely dependent on their owners for their livelihood.

Explanation: The examples illustrate how serva aliena was a common practice in ancient Rome, where slavery was an integral part of the economy and society. The term serva aliena highlights the gendered aspect of slavery, where women were often subjected to sexual exploitation and domestic servitude. The concept of serva aliena also shows how the legal system in ancient Rome treated slaves as property rather than human beings with rights and dignity.

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?
