A quick definition of bequeathal:

Bequeathal is when someone gives away their personal property through a will. This is also called a bequest. There are different types of bequests, such as giving money, specific items like furniture, or the remainder of the estate after debts and other gifts have been paid. Sometimes people give to charities in their will, which is called a charitable bequest. A bequest can also have conditions, like giving money to a daughter until she gets married.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Bequeathal is the act of giving property, usually personal property, through a will. It is also known as a bequest.

Examples:

  • Charitable bequest: A person leaves a sum of money to a charity in their will.

Do the admissions offices close on Veterans Day?
I think someone here was really interested in Cornell Law. I forgot their username now but I just talked to the Cornell admissions rep at the Houston LSAC fair and apparently 2/3 of people who interview at Cornell ultimately get in.

I wonder what it’s dependent on? Are the 2/3 chosen on stats, or interview performance, or more holistically?
