A quick definition of Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight:

Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight: A part of the U.S. government that makes sure two big companies that help people buy homes (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) are doing well with their money. It's like a watchdog to make sure they're being responsible with their finances. We call it OFHEO for short.

A more thorough explanation:

The Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) is a department within the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Its main responsibility is to ensure the financial safety and stability of two government-sponsored enterprises: the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac).

OFHEO was created in 1992 in response to concerns about the financial health of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The agency has the authority to examine the books and records of these enterprises, as well as to set capital requirements and other safety and soundness standards.

For example, if OFHEO determines that Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac is not meeting its financial obligations, it can require the enterprises to take corrective action. This might include raising additional capital, reducing their portfolios, or changing their business practices.

Overall, OFHEO plays an important role in ensuring the stability of the U.S. housing market by monitoring the financial health of these two key players.

My cycle is so cooked so far :(
oh lord u gota start drafting some LOCIs
Wait-list the cycle
how does this shit even work? do they use your email to track updates on your applications or something?
If you call law schools and ask about the status of your app are you likely to get an answer?
Honestly was expecting this cycle to go much better with my stats :(
idk but I was told not to contact the schools unless it has been literally months since you submitted application and it's already way past the deadline
literally all the schools I've applied to still show pending here, so I'm skeptical if it's even connected right or not
