Here's a link to the original video. This guy is great!! He raps about his achievements while a violin (which he played earlier in the video) lays the beat. Seems to be a real solid student, it really takes a lot of balls to send in a video application I feel. Also he loves Lost!
Anyway watch the video...maybe we will see him next year? (I mean he's definitely getting accepted I feel, it's just his decision now).
We probably get about 30 video essays a year, and this has been one of our favorites thus far! If you search on youtube for "st. mary's application video" there are some other great ones out there from this year and from years past! -Tricia

ReplyDeleteAre we really one of only five schools to accept video essays? That's so... progressive. I'm impressed. Also, by decree of the biggest smcmlol blog fan in the world (me), accept this kid.
ReplyDelete^^^ email me your name, I want to make a shirt that says this
ReplyDeletevery good video, but he should have used a teleprompter for the rap
ReplyDeletehis essay was really cool. I'm a freshman at st mary's this year and my essay was a video too. It's a really cool option to have rather than the same old essay questions, especially because of the vague prompt given by st mary's "St. Mary's College is casting for the incoming class... Selection of this option will stand as your college essay. Consider your audience."
ReplyDeleteThats pretty awesome we dont have that back here in the uk as far as im aware, but this really lets the student shine
ReplyDeleteThat's really cool, I hope they accept him
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I KNOW THIS KID. YESSSSSS. Small world <3
ReplyDeletethe beat sounds a bit off, but the concept is original and i hope they accept him!
ReplyDeleteWell that's certainly something you don't see every day. Haha. Now following.
ReplyDeleteThere you go America. Your potential Academia have been reduced to a lame version of 'America's got Talent'.
ReplyDelete*golf clap*

ReplyDeleteget it, he made a pun!
Pshh piss off tanglo, it shows more creativity and personality than any essay could, I'd take a video application over any application thats all to similar to the others, ORIGINALITY HO!
