There is a lot that shines through in this video. I actually teared up somewhere in the last third thinking how I wanna be like you when I grow up. I wish you all the best and am excited about how you're going to grow. This is literally a masterpiece, I don't even mean it sarcastically or ironically or whatever.

    Sounds like you have an insane resume; no clue how you have time for all that but props.
    I think a flaw in this video is that it doesn’t really tell the admissions officers anything that they don’t already know. Something lots of admissions officers have said about open ended parts of the application is they want to come away from it with a feeling as though they had had a conversation with you. That part of your personality still feels like a bit of a mystery after watching this imo

      Another constructive criticism if you dont mind… I think it is a great video, however halfway through, I actually got pretty bored cause it is the same tone throughout, like over and over with just different words (lyrics), so it is too monotone..
      another thing is, yes, you were telling so much of what you do, but to me it seems like a little braggy (like look at me and all the things I do and all my accomplishments). This video kind of gave me that vibe, so yeah. Maybe do it a bit differently next time 😊 But definitely wish you the best!

    This is so cool I can't believe that school didn't expect it that's so disappointing. I wouldn't even want to go to that school anymore. Hope you got in anywhere else you wanted to go. I think you will be very successful wherever you end up going. Honestly, you just inspired me to keep working hard on my high school applications. Thank you and best of luck.

    @mattsherack 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    I’m wrapping up the college application process rn and the fact that Brown didn’t accept you has me kind of terrified but I’m wildly impressed nonetheless.
    Being a senior now i feel like I missed out my chances to engage in a wide variety of extracurriculars which genuinely excite me, but after seeing this I feel kind of inspired to make sure that I do so in college and beyond. I don’t know why your video had this effect (maybe it was your enthusiasm), since usually seeing the achievements of others my age causes me stress, but whatever it is i thank you nonetheless. Best of luck to you in any future endeavors!!

    • @bkalnap

    I did one of these video portfolios for my applications last year and it’s super interesting to see someone else’s take on a pretty open ended prompt. Your’s is all about the breadth of the stuff that you’ve accomplished while mine was all about one very specific thing I was proud of. Shame you didn’t get in, but don’t let this get you down. This video is sick
