A quick definition of quanti minoris:

Term: QUANTI MINORIS

Definition: Quanti minoris is a legal term that means a reduction in price. It is used when a buyer has agreed to purchase something at a certain price, but later discovers that the item is worth less than what they agreed to pay. The buyer can then ask for a reduction in price, which is known as quanti minoris. This term is often used in contract law and can help protect buyers from overpaying for goods or services.

A more thorough explanation:

QUANTI MINORIS

Quanti minoris is a legal term that means "for how much less." It is used in situations where a buyer has agreed to purchase something at a certain price, but later discovers that the item is worth less than the agreed-upon price. The buyer can then sue the seller for the difference in value, or the "how much less" the item is worth.

For example, if a buyer agrees to purchase a car for $10,000, but later discovers that the car has significant mechanical issues that decrease its value to $8,000, the buyer can sue the seller for quanti minoris, or the $2,000 difference in value.

Another example would be if a buyer agrees to purchase a piece of land for $100,000, but later discovers that the land has environmental issues that decrease its value to $80,000, the buyer can sue the seller for quanti minoris, or the $20,000 difference in value.

These examples illustrate how quanti minoris is used in legal situations where a buyer has agreed to purchase something at a certain price, but later discovers that the item is worth less than the agreed-upon price. The buyer can then sue the seller for the difference in value, or the "how much less" the item is worth. This legal term helps protect buyers from being taken advantage of in transactions where the seller may not disclose all relevant information about the item being sold.

@ClockworkBlue: god I hope that's true
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.

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
