We have designed Glimpse so that, while you can delete and re-record as many times as you want, applicants do not have the option to edit or use any “postproduction” tools to change their recording. We want the focus to be on you and your voice, not on editing or video production skills.
After December 15th, you will have one opportunity to redo a Glimpse you provided to colleges during the Early Decision/Early Action period. The idea is that you may have provided one Glimpse to colleges during the Early Decision/Early Action period, and now you would like to adjust it for Regular Decision (for example, you may have something new to say). This ability to record a new Glimpse will become available December 15th. After December 15th, once you send a college your revised Glimpse, you will not be able to send your previous Glimpse (or create a third Glimpse).
After recording your Glimpse, you can select the colleges that you would like to receive your Glimpse. Glimpses will be sent to colleges via the InitialView platform, which is already integrated with most prominent colleges and universities.
If you have any question about a particular college, feel free to email us at glimpse@initialview.com. Feel free to email colleges as well!
You automatically qualify to receive a fee waiver if you
(1) receive free or reduced lunch,
(2) qualify for a fee waiver for ACT, SAT, and/or the College Board,
(3) are a part of a partner organization (like KIPP NYC and many other organizations), or
(4) are a current for former member of the U.S. Armed Forces, or
(5) are working with any organization focused on college access.
While the particular deadline for each college is different, we recommend that you submit your Glimpse within a week after submitting other application materials for such college. This is because the submission of an application often starts a review process within a particular office, and we want your Glimpse to be included with your materials when they are first reviewed after submission. It may be that the best time to record your Glimpse is soon after you have submitted your other materials, so feel free to take a few days after submitting your other materials to record your Glimpse.
