A quick definition of certificate of public convenience and necessity:

Term: Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity

Definition: A certificate that says it's okay for a company to provide a service or build something that the public needs. It's like getting permission from the government to do something that will help people.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A certificate of public convenience and necessity is a legal document that grants permission to a company or individual to provide a certain service or operate in a certain area. It is issued by a regulatory agency, such as a state or federal government, and is based on the agency's determination that the service or operation is necessary and in the public interest.

Example: A company wants to build a new power plant in a certain area. Before it can begin construction, it must apply for a certificate of public convenience and necessity from the state's regulatory agency. The agency will review the application and determine whether the power plant is necessary to meet the area's energy needs and whether it will be in the public interest to allow the company to operate the plant.

Explanation: This example illustrates how a certificate of public convenience and necessity is used to regulate the provision of services and operations that have an impact on the public. The regulatory agency must consider factors such as the need for the service or operation, its potential impact on the environment and public health, and the interests of the community before granting the certificate. This helps to ensure that the service or operation is provided in a safe and responsible manner that benefits the public.

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?
I'm honestly not sure
