Sure, getting into college is cool . . . but let's be real. What millennials and Gen Z-ers really want out of life is acceptance to the only academic institution that truly matters: the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Apparently, the folks at Boston College both recognise and support this, because they admitted the incoming freshman class of 2022 with a video worthy of Harry Potter [1] and his Hogwarts peers.
Considering the fact that Boston College's library [2] has been casually referred to as "the Harry Potter [3] library" for years, it makes for perfect wizarding world fodder in the admissions video when bedecked with faux floating candles. The rest of the video is just as magical — think moving newspaper photos, eagles delivering mail, studying by lamplight, and the iconic movie score that will give you chills.
Watch the video above, and it'll fill you with a weird mix of envy, nostalgia, and wistfulness . . . back in my day, we only got a plain ol' letter! With an admissions video that sets the bar like this, we've got exceptionally high hopes for the class of 2022.
