A quick definition of stranger:

A stranger is someone who you do not know or have a relationship with. This can be someone who is not involved in a situation or transaction, or someone who is not related to you in any way. Sometimes, a stranger may even help pay off someone else's debt, but they do not have any legal responsibility to do so.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A stranger is someone who is not involved in a particular transaction or relationship. This can include someone who is not a party to a contract, not related to someone else, or not liable for someone else's debt.

1. In a business deal, a stranger would be someone who is not one of the parties involved in the transaction. For example, if two companies are negotiating a contract, anyone who is not an employee, agent, tenant, or immediate family member of either company would be considered a stranger.

2. In a legal case, a stranger would be someone who is not in privity with another person. This means they do not have a direct relationship with that person. For example, if a landlord and tenant are in a dispute, a neighbor who is not a party to the lease would be a stranger to the case.

3. In a financial situation, a stranger could be someone who voluntarily pays off another person's debt, even though they are not legally responsible for it. For example, if a friend pays off someone else's credit card debt as a favor, they would be a stranger to the original debt.

These examples illustrate how a stranger is someone who is not directly involved in a particular situation or relationship. They may have some connection to the situation, but they are not a party to it and do not have any legal or financial responsibility for it.

I have not had a date change either for Mich but I've seen people get in without one so who knows
I applied 9/25 to like 6 schools and some (Houston) have no date change yet so dw
soapy

But do people get in without addresses going long?
WorthlessAttractiveZombie

soapy

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.
soapy

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.
soapy

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
10:25
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

Or another essay?
