College applications love the question: why did you choose our school? Yale University has put a spin on the answer that is the first of its kind: the That’s Why I Chose Yale Musical. Featuring 200 students and recent alumni, Yale University put their college admissions message to music in a campus tour unlike any we’ve seen before.
We can’t wait to see how other colleges and universities take this idea and run with it – what will college admissions think up next?
While a video doesn’t replace a campus visit, we like seeing the fun side of Yale University. What do you think? Is this video more effective than more traditional video campus tours? Does it give you a better feel for the university?
