[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid applied a couple of years ago. It was the first year they shifted from interviews to videos and the explanation was Covid restrictions. (It was very early in Covid and I'm guessing their alumni interviewers weren't excited about zoom interviews.)

I have a kid applying this year, and they seemed to have refined (improved, in my opinion) the description of what they were looking for in the video.

My first kid made a simple (frankly, unimpressive) video looking at the camera and merging in photos.  Then she showed me the ones other kids made-- many posted them online.  And wow.  It seemed clear they either hired a videographer or had a very talented family member.  For instance, giving a tour of their 'hometown' (NY City) by traveling to all kinds of locations.  Very high quality visuals, edits, etc.  Some with kind of special effects.  Unclear if the 'script' was theirs or not.

FWIW, my kid got in with her iphone propped on textbooks and filming in my dining room.  And now the instructions seem to asking for something more clearly along the lines of what she did.  [/quote]

My kids just sat in their rooms and talked into their phones about things they were interested in. I never saw the videos, but I guess they were good enough. We were all intimidated by the versions other kids posted online![/quote]
