Video Response for International Applicants- HGSE Harvard Master of Education

[Tiffanyivy]

This year HGSE has a new section for international students to demonstrate English proficiency. It is called Video Response. Optional but strongly recommended for anyone who does not meet their TOEFL requirements (26 minimum in each section).

My TOEFL total score is above 104 but my speaking session is less than 26. I'm debating between retaking TOEFL and doing this video response. I don't like talking to a machine to be honest. I heard there were interviews last year but admission office says they are using this video response instead for this year's application.

Has anyone done it? What are the prompts you were asked during the 60 seconds? Any advice?
