[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a shame that the design of Brown's website doesn't make video option readily apparent: The video intro does not appear in the "application checklist" -- only in the sidebar. So I would assume that many, many applicants (and parents or counselors) missed it altogether.

My daughter noticed that she could submit a video intro only at the very last minute. She used a Glimpse that she'd used for other schools -- nothing Brown-specific or earth-shattering. So we shall see.

I have no inside info, but my hunch is that it's kind of like seeing an application in color vs black and white. Black and white can be very compelling! But in general, color brings things to life. Similarly, I'd guess that putting a face and voice to an application tends to strengthen it -- but it's one of many factors that can make an application powerful or memorable.

OP, Brown is a reach for everyone -- but I hope that even without the video, you get to come back here in March to tell us your kid got in! Good luck![/quote]

After you submit, it tells you what was checked off ans what wasnt. The video is listed there. Did the kid not attend a single Brown admissions presentation?
