Office of the Comptroller of the Currency

Read a random definition: droit de prise

A quick definition of Office of the Comptroller of the Currency:

Office of the Comptroller of the Currency: This is a part of the U.S. Department of the Treasury that makes sure banks follow the rules. They check on banks, decide if new banks can open, and make sure banks don't do anything wrong. They are called the OCC for short.

A more thorough explanation:

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) is a part of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Its main job is to regulate around 2,600 national banks. It does this by:

  • Examining the banks
  • Approving or denying applications for bank charters, branches, or mergers
  • Closing banks that don't follow rules and regulations
  • Regulating banking practices

The OCC makes sure that banks follow the rules and regulations set by the government. This helps to protect people's money and keep the banking system stable.

For example, if a bank wants to open a new branch, it needs to get approval from the OCC first. The OCC will look at the bank's financial health and make sure it has enough money to open the new branch. If the OCC approves the application, the bank can open the new branch. If the OCC denies the application, the bank can't open the new branch.

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

I think so
She said historically a quarter get interview invites and then two thirds of those people get in.
