A quick definition of unseaworthy:

Term: UNSEAWORTHY

Definition: Unseaworthy means that a boat or ship is not safe enough to travel on the sea. It is not strong enough to handle the dangers that come with a normal journey. The opposite of unseaworthy is seaworthy, which means that a vessel is safe and strong enough to travel on the sea.

A more thorough explanation:

UNSEAWORTHY

Unseaworthy means that a ship or boat is not safe to travel on because it cannot handle the dangers of a normal journey.

1. The captain refused to set sail because he knew the ship was unseaworthy and could not withstand the rough weather.

2. The cargo ship was deemed unseaworthy by the inspectors due to its old and rusty hull.

These examples illustrate that an unseaworthy vessel is not fit for travel because it cannot handle the normal dangers of a voyage. In the first example, the captain recognizes the danger of the rough weather and chooses not to risk the safety of the crew and passengers. In the second example, the inspectors determine that the ship's condition is not up to the required standards for safe travel.

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

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?
