A quick definition of subrogative:

Term: SUBROGATIVE

Definition: Subrogative means something that is related to subrogation. Subrogation is when one person or company takes over the rights of another person or company. For example, if you get into a car accident and your insurance company pays for the damages, they may have the right to take legal action against the other driver to get their money back. This is called subrogation, and the rights that the insurance company has in this situation are called subrogative rights.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Subrogative (səˈbrōɡətiv) is an adjective that describes something related to subrogation, which is the act of one party taking over the rights and responsibilities of another party in a legal matter.

Examples:

When an insurance company pays out a claim to their policyholder, they may then exercise their subrogative rights to pursue legal action against the responsible party to recover their losses.
In a mortgage agreement, the lender may have subrogative rights to take over the borrower's rights in the property if they default on their payments.

These examples illustrate how subrogative relates to the legal concept of subrogation, where one party steps into the shoes of another party to pursue their rights and claims.

Imagine if election night was run by an adcom? Like, "yep, we could get the results Friday, or June 2025."

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

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

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

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

TheAdoptedOne

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
