Admissions Video Prompts for 2026-27 School Year
We would like to learn about you. Please make a 3 minute video where you cover two topics:
Prompt 1: Help Us Build Our Dream School
BSGE is hoping to build a new school building! We created a wishlist of 5 amazing spaces we'd love to include, but we only have enough money to build 3 of them.
Your task: Look at the list below and choose which 2 spaces you would NOT build. Explain your reasoning—why did you decide these two spaces are less important than the other three?
The Five Spaces:
Outdoor athletic field with a track and soccer field
A Robotics Lab for classes and after school clubs
A community health clinic open to the families of students, including an eye doctor, dentist, and pediatrician
A Rooftop garden with solar panels and outdoor classroom space
A performance space for music, theater, and dance
Think carefully about what would help students the most and what you think the school needs most.
Prompt 2: Show Us What Makes You Unique
Everyone has something special they know how to do or understand really well. What's yours?
Think of a skill, talent, or area of knowledge that makes you stand out. Then, break it down for us: What are the three most important parts or steps to doing this thing well? Explain why each of these three parts matters. Teach us what makes you unique!
Before you submit, make sure you:
Introduced yourself
Explained what you’re doing and why it’s important to you (details matter)
