EMERALD APPLICATION STEP 3 (video)
Dear XYZ,
STEP 3 – the video
You have until March 18th (included) to send us a video that is part of the EMerald application procedure. Please follow the procedure below. Videos sent by email will not be considered.
You will use google and Youtube. Please follow the steps below:
- Make a 2-min video of yourself answering both questions below:
– Why did you apply to EMerald specifically?
– How does your background align perfectly with our master’s program?
2. Create a Google Account (or use your existing one). Go to Google’s sign up page. Fill in your details: First/last name, a unique username (your email address) and a password. Follow the steps to verify your account (phone number, email, etc), and complete the sign-up process.
3. Log in to Youtube with your Google account. Click the Sign In button in the top-right corner. Enter the Google email and password you just created, and you will be logged in.
4. Upload your video. While logged into youtube, click the “camera icon” with a plus sign or the” create icon” with a plus sign (top-right). Select upload video from the dropdown. You will be taken to the Youtube Studio upload page. Choose your video file to be uploaded by clicking select files. After uploading, enter your name and nationality as title. No description is needed.
5. Set the video as Unlisted. When you are on the video details page, look for the visibility section. Choose Unlisted ( this means only people with the link can view it). Click save. After saving, YouTube will give you a link to your video that you can copy and share.
6. Share the Youtube link by filling out this Google form.
ps: if for some reasons you can’t have access to Youtube, you can use another platform as long as at the end of the day, you provide us with a URL link on the Google form above.
If some applicants do not go through the 2nd and the 3rd step before the deadlines, their application will automatically be rejected. All complete eligible applications will be sent to the selection committee for assessment. You will eventually hear from us by start of April at the latest.
ps: this message is sent automatically to all applicants, if you have already submitted your video, please ignore this message.
Best wishes,
The EMerald team
