[quote=Anonymous]Given, it’s going to potentially multiple schools (think USC, Vanderbilt; Wake; Duke; Brown; UChicago all do this? Maybe others): Don’t mention the school; and shed some new light on your candidacy or application that is not covered elsewhere in the app materials.

Found some great advice on Brown’s website; they gave a bunch of questions for the applicant to think about that they might want to address:

Video Introduction Prompts:
As with any aspect of the admission process, there is no specific topic or format we are hoping to see in your video introduction. You may choose to use these suggested prompts:

What do you love about your neighborhood or hometown?

Share a time that you were moved by music or art.

How would your friends describe you?

Describe how you were influenced by a book that changed your perspective.

Talk to us about a meaningful family activity or tradition.

In what ways are you similar to or different from your siblings or friend group?

Tell us about your favorite time of day.

Highlight any topic of your choice that will allow us to get to know you better.

Other advice:
Your video should begin with you in front of the camera saying, "Hi, my name is [insert name] from [high school]." After that, what you choose to say and how you choose to say it is up to you.

Simple and unrehearsed is fine, and you are welcome to be creative.

We recommend you dress casually as you would for a school day or school event.

Videos will not be evaluated for production quality; we recommend sitting in front of your laptop/camera/tablet/phone and speaking directly to the audience.

Make certain you are visible and audible during your video.

Check the lighting and listen to your video after you have recorded it to ensure you are happy with the final product before submitting.

Limit your video to no more than two minutes.

Be sure your video is in landscape orientation so your finished product will not require viewers to turn their heads to the side when viewing on a desktop computer.
