A quick definition of hash:

Term: HASH

Definition: Hashing is a way to keep information safe by turning it into a secret code. This code is unique to the information and can be used to check if the information has been changed. It's like putting a secret lock on a message to make sure no one can read or change it without the key.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: To run a document through an encryption algorithm to secure the contents or to derive a unique number for the document. The result of hashing can be used to verify that the transmitted message has not been altered or to produce a digital signature for the document.

Example: When you create an account on a website, your password is often hashed and stored in the website's database. This means that even if someone gains access to the database, they won't be able to see your actual password. Instead, they will see the hashed version of your password, which is a unique string of characters.

Explanation: In this example, hashing is used to secure the user's password. When the user enters their password, it is run through an encryption algorithm to produce a unique hash. This hash is then stored in the website's database instead of the actual password. When the user logs in, their entered password is hashed again and compared to the stored hash. If the two hashes match, the user is granted access. This way, even if someone gains access to the database, they won't be able to see the user's actual password.

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

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
