I 100% agree with the self selection, I also am not even close to touching the medians there. However I think the huge PS plus the video and especially the very specific criteria for the why Berkeley essay is pretty crazy
my instinct would be low humor bc if they have such a complex application I would feel hesitant to use a major part of it as a joke.
