Will having a YouTube channel help my college application?

Hey everyone! I have a YouTube channel where I make educational content and it's been somewhat successful. I'm wondering if I should include it on my college application and, if so, how much weight it might have in the admissions process. Thanks for your help!

Hey there! It's great to hear that you have a successful YouTube channel focused on educational content. Including it in your college application can definitely be a plus.

Colleges appreciate well-rounded students who have diverse interests and skills. Your YouTube channel can showcase your creativity, dedication, and expertise in a particular area.

Although it's hard to say how much weight it will have in the admissions process, it can certainly help you stand out from the competition. Just make sure to present it in a way that highlights the value it brings to your application.

Good luck with your college applications, and keep up the great work on your channel!
