tenure in chivalry

Read a random definition: moving part

A quick definition of tenure in chivalry:

Tenure in chivalry is a way of holding land that was used in feudal times. It meant that the person who owned the land had to do military service for their lord. There were other types of tenures too, like villeinage and socage, but they are not used anymore. Nowadays, tenure can also refer to the protection of a long-term job or academic position.

A more thorough explanation:

Tenure in chivalry is a type of feudal tenure that relates to military service. It was a way of holding land in subordination to a superior, such as a lord or king. The tenant was obligated to provide military service to their superior in exchange for the right to use the land.

Examples of tenure in chivalry include knight-service, grand serjeanty, and cornage. These were all forms of military service that were required of the tenant in exchange for their land. For example, a knight-service tenant was required to provide a certain number of knights to fight for their lord in times of war.

Tenure in chivalry was abolished in the United States in the 18th and 19th centuries, and is no longer a legal concept in modern times. However, the term is still used in historical and legal contexts to refer to this type of feudal tenure.

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?
