natural

Read a random definition: limited equity housing

A quick definition of natural:

Natural: Something that happens on its own without anyone making it happen. It is normal and happens because of nature, not because someone made it happen. For example, a tree growing in the forest is natural because it grows on its own without anyone planting it. It can also mean something that is not made by people, like a natural lake or a natural talent that someone is born with.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: In accord with the regular course of things in the universe and without accidental or purposeful interference. Normal; proceeding from the regular character of a person or thing. Brought about by nature as opposed to artificial means. Inherent; not acquired or assumed. Indigenous; native. Of or relating to birth. Untouched by civilization; wild.

Examples:

  • A natural death as opposed to murder.
  • It is natural for a duck to fly south in the winter.
  • A natural lake.
  • Natural talent.
  • The original or natural inhabitants of a country.
  • Natural child as distinguished from adopted child.
  • Only a small part of the forest remains in its natural state.

The examples illustrate that something is natural when it occurs without any interference or influence from humans. For example, a natural death is one that happens without any foul play or intervention. A natural talent is something that a person is born with and not something that they have learned or acquired through practice. A natural lake is one that has formed through natural processes, such as erosion and precipitation, rather than being created by humans. The natural inhabitants of a country are those that have lived there for generations and are not immigrants or settlers. A natural child is one that is born to their parents, rather than being adopted. A forest in its natural state is one that has not been touched or altered by humans.

if the country was run the same as Mich Law it would be a better place
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.
