A quick definition of sergeantry:

Sergeantry: A type of feudal land tenure where the tenant had to do some kind of personal service for the king. This service could be military or non-military, and even humble household officers like bakers and cooks could hold lands in serjeanty. There were two types of serjeanty: grand serjeanty, which required a service related to the country's defense, and petit serjeanty, which required a minor service with military symbolism, like presenting an arrow or unstrung bow to the king.

A more thorough explanation:

Sergeantry, also spelled sergeanty, refers to a feudal lay tenure that required some form of personal service to the king. This service was not necessarily military and could be as small as presenting an arrow or an unstrung bow to the king. There were two types of serjeanty:

Grand serjeanty was a serjeanty that required the tenant to perform a service relating to the country's defense. The required service could be as great as fielding an army or as small as providing a fully equipped knight. Sometimes the service was ceremonial or honorary, such as carrying the king's banner or serving as an officer at the coronation.

Petit serjeanty was a serjeanty that required only a minor service of small value, usually with military symbolism. An example of petit serjeanty is presenting an arrow or an unstrung bow to the king.

Many household officers of the Crown, even those as humble as bakers and cooks, held lands in serjeanty. This illustrates that the required service was not necessarily military and could be any form of personal service to the king.

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
