Some college , including Tufts and theUniversity of Chicago , have start allow prospective students to supplement their covering with YouTube telecasting . This can only terminate well !
At Tufts , for instance , 1,000 out of 15,000 applicant this class render one - second videos about themselves . And apparently , they ’re being taken pretty seriously :
Lee Coffin , the dean of undergraduate entrance fee , say the idea came to him last springtime , when follow a YouTube video recording someone had sent him . “ I reckon , ‘ If this kid applied to Tufts , I ’d admit him in a minute , without anything else , ’ ” Mr. Coffin said .
Since there are no details as to that video ’s descent , I ’m buy the farm to go ahead and assume it wasChris Crocker .
in the end , this is a good thing . It lets college admissions functionary get a better sense of the educatee they ’re vetting . On the other had , did Amelia Downs of Charlotte , NC really expect or want over 12,000 people to catch her Tuftsapplication video ? Or more to the stage : how will she finger about it five age from now ?
