The 'Reel' Student: Web-Based Video Supplements Enhance the College Application.

CollegeSupplement.com, a New Online Service Available Free of Charge to Students and College Admissions Professionals

PHILADELPHIA -- It has finally arrived. CollegeSupplement.com, a ground breaking, web-based tool designed exclusively to connect college applicants and admission professionals,

is live. This site enables students to express their full potential and showcase their unique talents through an online video supplement. Using a webcam, digital camera or video equipment, all typically available at most high schools, students are able to film and upload three different videos, ranging from 45 seconds to three minutes in length. Each student then receives a personal passcode to include with their college application, giving the school access to their supplement.

CollegeSupplement.com uses a quick-see format, permitting admissions officers to easily view a student's videos using the personal passcode. Through a secure, Web 2.0-rooted multimedia platform, admissions officers are able to literally see each applicant, hear their story, and gain a deeper insight into their personality and qualifications - all at the click of a button.

"As the admissions process is ever-improving, this resource aims to provide a new and innovative way to enhance the college application by streamlining the process of creating and viewing multimedia supplements," says Steve Metzman, CollegeSupplement.com Founder and CEO. "CollegeSupplement.com levels the playing field for students of all backgrounds, enabling candidates to personally present themselves to admissions professionals."

And the timing couldn't be better. As the school year comes to an end, high school juniors are gearing up for senior year - and beginning the college application process. This summer, these students will research and visit colleges and universities, prepare application essays and figure out how they will put their best foot forward. In the increasingly competitive higher education landscape, students know how vitally important it will be to let their personality shine through. Now, that is easy with CollegeSupplement.com.

Nolan Grady, a student at St. Joseph's Preparatory School in Philadelphia, was one of the first students to use the site. "In my video supplement I was able to tell admissions officers much more than I could on my application. I think creating the video supplement sets me and my application apart and will help the admission counselors see my personality and my excitement about spending the next four years at their school."

Planning for college can be stressful and daunting. CollegeSupplement.com is a resource created to enhance and simplify this process and allow admissions officers to connect the words and numbers on an application with the voice of the individual behind them to provide a personal expression of the candidate's full potential.
