is making a parody a bad idea for the supplement?

[Eagles_for_life]

<p>so i want to make a parody of a popular commercial as my supplement, this will be in the form of a video. i will be using the same idea as the commercial for my parody but i will give it a personal spin my providing information about me. i think this will show my funny/sarcastic side and will hopefully get me into W&M. </p>

<p>do u guys think that making a parody would take away some of the originality of the video? the commercial is quite unique and im just changing it to match me, sooo is that ok or should i try to be more creative?</p>

<p>i would love CC advice and the W&M admission rep's advice too.</p>

<p>thanks youu!!!</p>

<p>Sounds like a unique idea. If done well and if it tells us something about you we didn’t learn from the rest of your application, go for it. We appreciate unique, quirky and original responses to our prompt. The fact that you’re doing a parody will not make us thing it’s less original unless it’s a parody done frequently.</p>
