Personal Video

Create a personal admissions video using a smartphone, tablet or computer. Video file formats that work are typically .mov or .mp4.

The time limit is no more than two minutes maximum.

Be authentic and genuine — and have fun! We want the video to reflect who you are and what you love to do. There are no right or wrong answers.

Videos will not be evaluated for production quality; however, make certain that you are visible and audible during your video. Check the lighting and listen to your video after you have recorded it to ensure you are happy with the final product before submitting it.

We recommend that you dress casually as you would for a school day or school event.

Your video should include the following:

Begin your video with "Hi, my name is (insert name) from (middle school/junior high).
Describe your family - how many siblings, etc.
Why do you want to attend Brophy?
What three words best describe you? Please explain how each word you have chose applies to you.
What do you think will be the biggest challenge at Brophy for you and how will you meet this challenge?

You will upload the video file directly to the checklist in myBrophy by clicking on the UPLOAD button. Please be patient — it can take up to several minutes for a large video file to upload to the portal. Make sure you click "save" after it uploads. If the video is larger than 100MB, you will need to share it with us through Google Drive, iCloud, Dropbox or another file-sharing program.

Your video will not be shared publicly. It will only be viewed by the Admissions Committee.

The video must be uploaded no later than Jan. 15, 2025.
