Admissions Professional Questions
Q: Why should I spend my valuable time here?
A: Bringing applicants to life on your screen may help with admissions decisions. Important qualities may be easier to evaluate by seeing a person in action and hearing their own words.
We help level the playing field among applicants motivated enough to provide personal presentations. Low-income applicants can now make personal presentations in their high schools for admissions professionals anywhere. Before Collegesupplement.com, personally presenting oneself to admissions offices was available only to applicants who could afford to travel around to campuses.
An applicant’s multimedia supplement adds a human dimension to test scores, essays and transcripts and works completely within any current admissions process and structure. We’ve even designed an express route for you so you can ‘fast-find’ an applicant’s intro clip and be on-and-off within 60 seconds.

Q: Why is my registration delayed a day for authentication?
A: We are committed to protecting our users. Registered admissions professionals can search an applicant database which contains applicant video, images and personal information. Authentication ensures that only members of the higher-ed admissions community have access to that sensitive database.

Q: Are you increasing the so-called ‘digital divide’?
A: We’ve considered this very carefully to be sure we’re not facilitating the divide between the ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’. Admissions officers and guidance counselors have told us that most high schools in the United States have at least a workstation or two that can be used to create a collegesupplement.com multimedia supplement. As a matter of fact, we promote equal access by finally enabling financially disadvantaged/low-income students to make personal presentations to admissions offices that historically could only be done by their wealthier counterparts who could afford to travel around to campuses.

Q: Why is there no charge and what are the different services you offer?
A: The applicants can choose between two types of services. Basic Service is no charge and their multimedia supplement uses video files which are processed and stored on other company’s servers, like YouTube, etc. Premium Service does carry a cost and we process and store the applicant’s video files in higher quality on our servers.
