A quick definition of détente:

Definition: Détente means to relax tensions between two or more groups, especially countries. It can also refer to a policy that promotes this relaxation of tensions or a period of time when tensions are relaxed. It is similar to the idea of making peace or becoming friends after a disagreement.

Related terms: Entente, alliance

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Détente (day-tahnt) is a French term that refers to the relaxation of tensions between two or more parties, especially nations. It can also refer to a policy that promotes such a relaxation of tensions or a period during which such tensions are relaxed. It is different from an alliance or entente, which are formal agreements between nations.

One example of détente is the period of improved relations between the United States and the Soviet Union during the 1970s. This period was marked by arms control agreements and increased cultural exchanges between the two nations.

Another example is the recent détente between North and South Korea, which has led to talks between the two nations and a joint participation in the 2018 Winter Olympics.

These examples illustrate how détente can lead to improved relations between nations and a reduction in tensions. It can also lead to increased cooperation and communication between nations, which can help to prevent conflicts and promote peace.

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
