Read a random definition: wrap account

A quick definition of CAN-SPAM Act of 2003: Policy Goals and Purposes:

The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 is a law that aims to regulate commercial emails sent to people. The law says that senders of commercial emails should not trick people about who they are or what the email is about. People should also have the right to say they don't want to get any more emails from the same sender. The law also requires senders to include a real address in the email and to say clearly that it's an advertisement. The law also says that businesses can't use fake information to promote themselves in emails. The goal of the law is to make sure people get truthful and honest emails and have control over what they receive.

A more thorough explanation:

The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 is a law that regulates commercial email on a nationwide basis. The Act has three main policy goals:

  1. Senders of commercial email should not mislead recipients as to the source or content of email.
  2. Recipients of commercial email have a right to decline to receive additional commercial email from the same source [i.e. a right to "opt-out"].
  3. There is a substantial government interest in regulation of commercial email on a nationwide basis.

The Act also requires businesses to include a valid physical address in the email message, and to provide "clear notice" that the message is an advertisement or solicitation. Additionally, businesses are prohibited from knowingly promoting, or permitting the promotion of, their trade or business through email transmitted with false or misleading sender or routing information.

For example, if a company sends an email advertising a product, they must clearly state that it is an advertisement and provide a way for the recipient to opt-out of future emails. The company must also include a valid physical address in the email.

These policy goals and requirements help protect consumers from misleading or unwanted commercial emails, while still allowing businesses to use email as a marketing tool.

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
