Tufts University now accepts video submissions from its applicants. We here at the ol’ Free Press were wondering what it would be like if other exclusive groups and institutions at Boston University accepted video applications.
- Prospective College of General Studies students would forget to take the lens cap off, rendering their application . . . useless.
- If you’re applying to be a member of the elite Mugar Memorial Library staff, you could submit a video of you displaying your talents at sponging coffee off of rare books.
- BU students applying to a burrito appreciation club could submit a video of them showing off their speed-dining skills by sprinting between Olecito, Q’doba, Caprito Burrito and now Chipotle.
- People aspiring to attend the online University of the People could send in a video . . . oh, wait. They don’t have to apply. Because it’s not a “real” university.
- Men’s basketball hopefuls might have a better chance at making the team if they record their own rendition of coach Patrick Chambers’ “Get on your feet” video.
- Anyone interested in working for The Daily Free Press would need only to send a video of them typing with one hand and clutching a beer with the other, and we’re sold. Oh . . . and a writing sample. Or whatever.
