Videos replace essays and test scores for some kids’ college application
Mitchell Moran-Kaplan did the usual drill for most of his college applications. But for Goucher College, the 18-year-old grabbed a digital camera last fall and went for a drive, gathering footage for a two-minute video that aimed to explain what he’s all about.
18岁的Mitchell Moran-Kaplan为申请大学尝试了各种常规的方式,但在申请戈切尔学院时,他录制了一个两分钟的视频,并在视频中尽量让学校了解自己。
The private liberal arts college in Baltimore County did not ask for his SAT scores, a personal essay or a transcript. It just wanted the video, a graded writing assignment and one other sample of work from his high school years.
这个私立文科学院没有向他索要SAT成绩、论文或成绩单。学校只要这个视频,外加一份写作任务和高中时期的作业样本。
Goucher President Bowen said there is “a hunger” across the country for new ways to apply to college. “We will be seeing more alternative applications,” he said. “The system is broken.”
戈切尔校长Bowen说:“整个美国都在流行申请大学的新方式,我们将会看到更多可供选择的申请方式,原有的系统将被打破。”
