QMCSO

A quick definition of QMCSO:

QMCSO: A QMCSO is a special order made by a court or state agency that says a child or stepchild can get health insurance from a parent's job. This order is important because it helps make sure that children get the medical care they need. It's called a qualified medical child support order because it's a special kind of order that meets certain rules set by the government.

A more thorough explanation:

QMCSO stands for qualified medical child support order. It is a court or state administrative agency order that allows an alternate beneficiary, such as a participant's child or stepchild, to be covered by the participant's group health plan.

Under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), a QMCSO is a medical child support order. This means it is a judgment, order, or decree under state domestic relations law or other relevant state law that provides for child support or health benefits coverage for the child of a group health plan participant.

For a medical child support order to become a QMCSO, it must establish or recognize an alternate beneficiary's right to receive the participant's benefits under the group health plan or assign this right to receive group health plan benefits to an alternate beneficiary.

John has a group health plan through his employer. He has a child from a previous marriage, and his ex-wife has custody of the child. The court issues a medical child support order that requires John to provide health benefits coverage for his child through his group health plan. This order can become a QMCSO if it meets the requirements under ERISA.

This example illustrates how a medical child support order can become a QMCSO if it meets the requirements under ERISA. The QMCSO allows the child to be covered by John's group health plan, even though the child is not a direct participant in the plan.

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
