A quick definition of si sit legitimae aetatis:

Term: SI SIT LEGITIMAE AETATIS

Definition: SI SIT LEGITIMAE AETATIS is a Latin phrase that means "if he (or she) is of lawful age." This phrase was commonly used in historical documents to determine if someone was old enough to participate in certain activities or make certain decisions. For example, if someone wanted to sign a legal contract, they would need to prove that they were of lawful age. This phrase is still used today in some legal contexts.

A more thorough explanation:

SI SIT LEGITIMAE AETATIS

If he (or she) is of lawful age.

This is a Latin phrase used in historical documents to indicate that a person is old enough to do something legally.

Example 1: The legal drinking age in the United States is 21. If a person is asked for their ID at a bar, they may be asked to prove that they are of "legitimate age" or "SI SIT LEGITIMAE AETATIS."

Example 2: In medieval times, a person had to be of "legitimate age" to inherit property or hold certain positions of power. If a person was not yet of age, they would need a guardian to manage their affairs until they were old enough.

These examples illustrate how the phrase "SI SIT LEGITIMAE AETATIS" was used to determine whether a person was legally allowed to do something. In the first example, a person must be of "legitimate age" to drink alcohol legally.

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.
