BU Admissions video

[Anonymous]

I can’t find anything on their site about this but I know they accept videos to accompany applications. Can anyone share insight?

Search this site for “glimpse.”

Yes, there are a few threads on Glimpse videos. Not as much discussion as there could/should be - the Glimpse option is fairly new. It's a 60 to 90 second video recorded without editing. You can re-record as many times as you wish, though I think once you do so, you might lose the previous recording.

You pay 22 bucks. Can send to as many schools as you want, though I would check the school websites, in the area of the admissions checklist, to see if this is mentioned as an optional submission.

BU more commonly refers to Boston University.

This year, Boston University offers the "optional" submission of a Glimpse video.

It’s on the website. Click on first year applicants and it’s one of the things on the checklist. It’s a clickable link to the details.

I dont think you looked or just wanted to start a new thread. I just googled "bu video undergraduate application" and got this: https://www.bu.edu/admissions/apply/first-year/

Obviously I looked and didn’t find it. But I hope you feel good about scolding me.

Obviously? No.

FWIW, my kid found out about the glimpse video at BU a few days before they submitted their ED application. They didn’t send one in and got in anyway. It was a low reach for them. I don’t think it would have added to their application at all, so didn’t push them to make one.

I found it. Does anyone know if it is okay to turn in AFTER the application is already submitted? This is new to us. Thanks.

If the application has already been reviewed, then it would probably be too late. If the application hasn't been reviewed yet, it's probably fine. It's just a link in the Slate online application file that admission readers can click on.
