US Sutton Trust Programme 2014

Do you think it's too detrimental if you are longer than 5 minutes, *cough* *cough* 10 minutes?

Hey guys! I went on the trip last year and feel like I have a strong understanding of what they're looking for so if you need any opinions on your applications/advice feel free to PM me! :smile:

Hey, do you think my application has been harmed a bit, because I went a bit over the top with 10 minutes instead of the 5 min time limit they set?

Would I be penalized for having a video that is longer than 6 minutes? Mine is currently at 7 minutes long.

The deadline is at the end of the day tomorrow, right?

Yeah!

I sent mine already :L

Mine is exactly 10.07 minutes, also, think it's a bit weird how some people have left it unlisted. So You can see other people's if you search US Sutton Trust up on YouTube.
What I can see is, this programme is female dominated. looks like us guys are a minority lol.

As long as you've said things worth mentioning I think and aren't just talking a load of waffle it should be fine :smile:

You're demonstrating your deep interest in the programme. The worst they can do is not watch all of it.
