A quick definition of status:

Term: Status

Definition: Status is like a label that tells us what a person is allowed to do. It can be about their legal rights or what kind of visa they have if they are from another country. For example, if someone is a permanent resident, they have a different status than someone who is just visiting. Status can also be affected by things like getting married or being adopted.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Status refers to a person's legal condition, whether it is related to their personal or proprietary rights. In the context of immigration law, it refers to the type of visa a person has been assigned and the privileges they receive as either a permanent resident or a non-immigrant (temporary visa holder).

For example, if someone is granted a student visa, their status would be that of a non-immigrant student, which would allow them to study in the United States for a specific period of time. Similarly, if someone is granted permanent residency, their status would be that of a lawful permanent resident, which would allow them to live and work in the United States indefinitely.

In addition, status can also refer to a person's legal condition in other areas of law, such as the law of domicile. In this context, status includes conditions such as marriage, adoption, infancy, and legitimacy. For instance, if someone is married, their status would be that of a spouse, which would give them certain legal rights and responsibilities related to their marriage.

Overall, status is an important legal concept that helps to define a person's legal rights and obligations in various contexts.

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.

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?

Or another essay?
