[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many years ago our DS submitted a video of himself doing an activity which fed directly into his career ambition. All he did was film himself on GoPro, upload to YouTube and put a link in the application. He got in almost everywhere he applied save two Ivies - but that was a long time ago in college admissions years. But it did tie the essay, application and intended major all together. He could also tell who watched it.[/quote] Very clever. However, lots of kids get into "almost all where they applied, expect for two Ivies" without doing a video. I just pause and consider that we may be making our kids performance monkeys that have to figuratively dance themselves into a pretzel to get into college. Not every kid has the access or the resources or the support of engaged, encouraging caregivers, to do this.I fear it's getting harder and harder to make college accessible for all kids, regardless of their zip code.[/quote]
