A quick definition of best-mode requirement:

The best-mode requirement is a rule for patent applications that says the inventor must show the best way they know to use their invention. This is different from the enablement requirement, which just says the inventor must describe how to use the invention. Basically, the best-mode requirement means the inventor has to share their secret recipe for using their invention.

A more thorough explanation:

The best-mode requirement is a rule in patent law that requires a patent application to disclose the best way the inventor knows to use the invention. This means that the inventor must reveal the most effective and efficient method of using the invention that they are aware of at the time of filing the patent application.

For example, if an inventor has developed a new type of battery, they must disclose the best way to use the battery in the patent application. If the inventor knows that the battery works best when charged at a certain voltage or temperature, they must include that information in the application.

The best-mode requirement is important because it ensures that the public receives the full benefit of the invention. If an inventor were to withhold information about the best way to use the invention, the public might not be able to use it as effectively as possible.

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app
I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on
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
I'm curious, how bold can one be in those videos? Is it worth making a satirical Jason Statham-action short if the adcoms have no sense of humor?
the more risk you take the higher chance of it backfiring
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. They clearly take their admissions seriously and a joke video might convey the wrong thing at the wrong time. I think that humor is best put into a PS anecdote where it adds some shine to your personality
safe is always better
All good points

@TheAdoptedOne: amazing
I almost did one for Vanderbilt and my idea was to do a documentary-style vid where I and others talked about me like it was an ESPN 30 for 30.

I was risky in maybe one or two of my essays in that some parts read as slightly humorous, but I really tried to suss out the vibe for each school. I feel like Berk and UMich may be more accommodating of a more "out there" approach than other schools I applied to

but that's literally just going off vibes
it looks like Berk vid is in response to a known prompt. My thinking is it may be a counter to AI by getting people to have to respond to what is essentially an essay prompt but on video
"I think really it’s more the USNWR change that emphasizes employment outcomes in school rankings. Schools want to admit people who have the skills to be more likely to land great jobs even more than before, and being a good interviewer is a very important for that. They want to see you have the soft skills." from a reddit comment

One funny thing when talking to lawyers at work is that they will always say how they wish more law schools had interviews to make sure you can like... talk to people and form sentences
getting lunch no one say anything funny or do anything cool for 15 mins
