A quick definition of Stationers' Hall:

Stationers' Hall is a building in London that was established in 1553 for the Stationers' Company. This was a place where people who claimed ownership of a copyright had to register their work before they could take legal action against anyone who copied it without permission. This was a way to protect their work from being stolen. The words "Entered at Stationers' Hall" on a book's title page meant that the owner of the copyright could sue anyone who copied their work. This requirement ended in 1911 with the Copyright Act.

A more thorough explanation:

Stationers' Hall is the hall of the Stationers' Company, which was established in London in 1553. It was a place where people who claimed a copyright had to register before they could file a lawsuit against someone who infringed on their copyright. This was a way to warn pirates that the owner of the copyright could and might sue them.

For example, if a book had the words "Entered at Stationers' Hall" on the title page, it meant that the owner of the copyright had registered it there and could take legal action against anyone who copied their work without permission.

This requirement was no longer necessary after the Copyright Act of 1911 was passed.

But do people get in without addresses going long?

WorthlessAttractiveZombie

9:46

it's tough to tell because a lot of people type out their addresses long to begin with

soapy

Ah. I didn't. Looking back, my Mich supplement kind of sucks, so there's that

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?

What a good day to get into law school

@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

10:25

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

soapy

10:26

Or another essay?
