W&M Video Supplement...??

<p>I'm a transfer student applying for fall 2010 admission to William & Mary. Can transfers also submit a video to W&M instead of a 500 word essay? I think a video would say a lot more about me. If so, how exactly do you send it? and to where do you send it?
HELPPP!! There's only 1 week left before the March 1 deadline :(</p>

<p>Is the supplement the same as the 1st time admissions supplement? If you do a video, you can put it on youtube and send them the link. I have seen some of them on youtube.</p>

<p>Just contact admissions and ask them. My D submitted a picture essay/collage instead of the 500 word essay and sent it directly to admissions. I remember when we went to the Open House, the admissions counselor said that it was perfectly okay to send in a video or a link to a video in lieu of the essay. Couldn’t you just put the link in the essay section of the supplement?</p>

<p>I also submitted a video through ED. Just burn the video onto a disc and then mail it to them. Good luck.</p>

<p>Oh cool, a picture essay/collage sounds interesting to make. I might do something like that, or somewhat similar to that. I want to submit something different :)</p>

<p>make it unique. I guarantee you will not be anywhere close to the only one with a collage.</p>

<p>Yes, definitely unique! My D printed all of her pictures in a green tint and then added a yellow “TRIBE” in script over the collage – the pictures actually told her story. She had it professionally matted and framed. Our neighbor is from Holland and he painted clogs and did a collage on the clogs portraying his interests, etc. You don’t just want to do a collage of pictures without a theme pertinent to you. Make it your own!</p>

<p>Does William & Mary conduct college interviews??</p>

<p>^Sorry, they only do summer interviews for prospective freshman.</p>

<p>I want to submit a powerpoint/essay to william and mary for my supplement. How do i send it? It’s not letting me upload it through the common application.</p>

<p>mail them a CD?</p>

<p>All transfers must complete the Common Application essay (why you wish to transfer to W&M) as an essay but can submit a video for the optional submission found on the W&M Supplement. We would be happy to accept this submission now even though it is a few days past the application deadline.</p>

<p>Okay, thank you W&M Admission!</p>

<p>I burned my powerpoint slide/essay to a CD as soon as I got home. I mailed it off yesterday afternoon :)</p>
