A quick definition of devastavit:

Term: DEVASTAVIT

Definition: Devastavit is a fancy word that means when someone who is supposed to take care of a dead person's things doesn't do it properly. They might spend too much money or use the things in the wrong way. This is bad because it means that the people who are supposed to get the dead person's things might not get them. The person who didn't take care of things properly can get in trouble and have to pay money to the people who were supposed to get the things.

A more thorough explanation:

DEVASTAVIT

Devastavit (dev-uh-stay-vit) is a Latin term that means "he (or she) has wasted." It refers to a situation where a personal representative fails to properly and promptly administer a decedent's estate. This can happen when the representative spends money extravagantly or misapplies assets. When a personal representative commits waste in this way, they become personally liable to those who have claims on the assets, such as creditors and beneficiaries.

For example, if a personal representative of an estate spends a large amount of money on unnecessary expenses, such as luxury vacations or expensive gifts for themselves, they may be committing devastavit. Similarly, if a personal representative fails to properly manage the assets of the estate, such as by allowing property to fall into disrepair or by failing to pay taxes, they may also be committing devastavit.

Another example of devastavit could be if a personal representative sells assets of the estate for less than their fair market value, or if they fail to collect debts owed to the estate. In both cases, the personal representative is not properly managing the assets of the estate and may be held personally liable for any losses suffered by the estate.

These examples illustrate how a personal representative's failure to properly manage an estate can result in financial losses for the estate's beneficiaries and creditors. Devastavit is a serious breach of fiduciary duty and can result in legal action against the personal representative.

Go to the school, Hofstra for example. Set the cycle to last year and sort the chart by date submitted. You can see when people who applied in December heard back last cycle
helloo everyone, does someone want to read one paragraph i wrote for GW law for the diversoty statement and tell me if it is good/bad?
In school, I was met with questions like, “Why are Muslim women oppressed?” or “Do you need bodyguards when you travel to Jordan?”
shoudl i keep those questions in there or is too much?

I would cut the questions and go in media res.

But, I guess it also depends on what the next few paragraphs are like. I personally am not a fan of rhetorical questions, as they're generally not well done, but they could work.
I like the questions but maybe italics instead of quotes so it feels more internal
like quotes are so blocky and chunky sometimes whereas italics feels more like seamless thoughts but I think that only works if it matches your writing style! I used rhetoricals in mine that way and it seems to have been working out okay
