Application Videos
Full-Service Video Package:
More and more colleges are allowing applicants to submit a supplemental “video essay” as part of their application.
This is a great opportunity! Anyone who is serious about being admitted to one of those schools should definitely take advantage.
But if you’re going to submit a supplemental video along with your application, you have to do it right. The College A Team’s full-service video package allows you to create a compelling, intelligent video essay that will boost your chances of college admission. You don’t need to know how to edit a video. You don’t even need a camera!
Our full-service application video package begins with a face-to-face consultation. A College A Team admissions consultant will go over potential video ideas with you and help you determine the video that will best complement your application.
After working together to develop a short script, you will set up a date and time for a video shoot. The College A Team then edits the footage collected at the video shoot, incorporating your input on scene selection, voiceover work and any other suggestions you feel are necessary. The student is involved in the creative process the entire time. The College A Team acts as resource for the student and ensures the finished product will make a positive impact on admissions officers.
Our full-service package takes 7-10 business days to complete. A 48-hour rush service is also available.
How it Works
- Step 1:We meet with you to formulate a strategic plan for the video.
- Step 2:We shoot the video. You star in it.
- Step 3:We edit the first draft of the video and submit it to you for review.
- Step 4:You review the video and either approve it or suggest editing changes. We repeat this step as often as necessary until we are both satisfied that the video will make a positive impact on admissions officers.

The College A Team is there to guide the student at the beginning of the process and at the end of the process, providing a solid framework in which the student can be creative. The end result is a student-made video that will deliver just the right message to admissions officers.
