A quick definition of feigned:

Term: FEIGNED

Definition: When someone pretends or acts like something is true, but it's not really true, we say that they are feigning. It's like they are making up a story or playing a game where they are pretending to be someone or something else. Feigned means that something is not real or genuine, but instead it is simulated or fictitious.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Feigned means pretended, simulated, or fictitious. Example 1: She feigned interest in his story, but she was really just being polite. Example 2: The actor feigned sadness during the emotional scene. These examples illustrate the definition of feigned because in both cases, someone is pretending or simulating a certain emotion or behavior. In example 1, the person is pretending to be interested in the story, while in example 2, the actor is simulating sadness for the scene. Both situations involve a feigned or fictitious behavior.

Imagine if election night was run by an adcom? Like, "yep, we could get the results Friday, or June 2025."

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app

ClockworkBlue

11:25

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

TheAdoptedOne

11:28

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

ClockworkBlue

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

TheAdoptedOne

11:33

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

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

TheAdoptedOne

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
