The Optional Video
Tuesday, October 25th, 2011
Any MBA application is your chance to introduce yourself to the Admissions Team. If they haven’t met you already, the application is their first look into your history, experience, goals and dreams. In order to enrich this process and allow you to tell us a little more about yourself, we decided last year to introduce and optional video essay as part of our application package. The video is in no way required, but it does provide another platform for you to tell us something about yourself. We ask that you tell us your name, location and the date. Then we ask that you describe why you should be a member of the next Smeal MBA class. This is your opportunity to introduce yourself in person, and to sell yourself to the program.
There are a few things to keep in mind:
~Keep to the two minute time limit. We want to meet you, but have limited time during admissions season.
~Make sure we can see you and hear you in your video submission.
~Be aware of your surroundings. Believe it or not, we learn a lot from where you choose to film your video.
~The video does not need to be professionally done, but make it your best effort.
~Tell us something we don’t know about you from your application. Share something new!
~Sell yourself! What are your best qualities? Why will you be the best Smeal MBA we’ve ever had?
~SMILE! Dress appropriately. This is the 1st visual impression we have of you.
We look forward to seeing your application and your video (if you so choose) very soon! Remember, our first application deadline is November 11th this year!
