A quick definition of shock:

Shock is a sudden and strong disturbance that affects the body or mind. It can happen when someone experiences a sudden injury or medical procedure, or when they witness something very sad or happy. Physical shock can happen when someone experiences a sudden impact or collision. Shock can also be a type of punishment called shock incarceration or shock probation.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A sudden and intense disturbance of the physical or mental senses that can depress the body's vital forces. It can be caused by a sudden injury, medical procedure, witnessing a traumatic event, or experiencing extreme joy or grief.

Physical shock: A person gets hit by a car and experiences shock due to the sudden impact.
Mental shock: A person witnesses a loved one's sudden death and experiences shock due to the traumatic event.
Shock incarceration: A person is sent to prison for a short period of time to experience the shock of incarceration and hopefully deter them from committing future crimes.
Shock probation: A person is released from prison early on probation to experience the shock of being back in society and hopefully deter them from committing future crimes.

The examples illustrate how shock can be caused by different events and can affect a person's physical and mental well-being. It can be a sudden and intense reaction to a traumatic event or a deliberate strategy to deter future criminal behavior.

@ClockworkBlue: I feel like most people could train for the 40 for the same amount of time as they do the LSAT and get close to sub 5 which would be equivalent to a 167+

I have no idea why people have so much beef w berkeley's app

ClockworkBlue

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

TheAdoptedOne

11:28

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

ClockworkBlue

11:31

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

TheAdoptedOne

11:33

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
