nephew

Read a random definition: K

A quick definition of nephew:

A nephew is a boy who is the son of your brother or sister. It can also mean the son of your brother-in-law or sister-in-law. Sometimes, it can even include your grandnephew in some wills. If your half brother or half sister has a son, he is also your half nephew. In the past, it was also used to mean a grandchild or any descendant. Nephews are known to be present and attentive to their uncles, especially if they are important to them.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The son of a person's brother or sister. It can also include the son of a person's brother-in-law or sister-in-law. In some wills, it can also refer to a grandnephew. A half nephew is the son of one's half brother or half sister. Historically, it could also refer to a grandchild or any descendant.

  • My nephew is coming to visit me this weekend. He is my sister's son.
  • My uncle passed away and left his estate to his nephews and nieces.
  • She treats her nephew like her own son.

The first example illustrates the basic definition of nephew as the son of one's sibling. The second example shows how the term can be used in legal contexts, such as in a will. The third example demonstrates how a person can have a close relationship with their nephew, treating them like their own child.

do we think most decisions will be out soon
13:06
seat deposits are soon
I speculate a wave before April 15th
i assumed they would be out by april 1 but i was clearly very wrong who knows
But tf do I know
i feel like it has to be by april 15, but read on reddit that NYU said they will get all decisions out by april 30th
13:07
i think i might pass on hofstra but I'll visit first and negotiate my aid
13:09
I'm guessing some schools will wait until after their 4/15 seat deposit dates to see how much they have left to give before sending another wave
NYU admissions is seemingly having a stroke this cycle though so
that makes sense @darkeagle
13:10
I hope so, it's my way of coping with the nothingness!
@DarkEagle87: Camus would be proud

@CaliforniaPhilosopher: love it, definitely is the vibe
Kids, don’t be me at 34 watching people with lower LSAT scores get into all your favorite schools because you fucked your grades 12 years prior. Womp.

ur account says 13 years, not sure I want a liar in my school. Womp.
I mean college is 4 years so technically both 12 and 13 years is correct but very observant of you.

They have enough clout that they get away with it

NYU bought their clout with a windfall years ago, and it already ran out. That's why they have been on a slow decline despite their location. It's a good thing for them that they have so far to fall that they *could* turn it around.
