Since My College Guide pointed out the supplemental video essay option at a handful of colleges, we knew we should also provide you with a concrete example of what college admissions are looking for in these videos! The College of William and Mary created their own fantastic college application video to give college admission applicants a helpful nudge in the right direction.
This award-winning YouTube video is an easy way to gauge the effectiveness of your own college supplemental video essay. Does your video have what it takes? Watch the College of William and Mary Application Prompt on YouTube or below. If you only remember one thing from this video, make sure it’s this: You aren’t telling us who you are, you are giving us a sense of who you’ll become.
Who We Are: Information you can trust. For 20 years My College Guide has produced an annual magazine chock full of free college info for high-achieving high school sophomores. Check out our participating colleges. If you’re a student, enter for a chance to win an Apple iPad or iPhone or cash!
