Target College Acceptance Ad -- Seen It?

<p>Have any of you seen the Target ad that features YouTube videos of kids finding out they were accepted to college? I saw it for the first time this morning while I was watching the Today show. It brought back some happy memories. I don’t know how to post a link to the video. If you go to YouTube, search for Target college acceptance ad.</p>

<p>^Posting links is super easy. Go to the page with the youtube video, highlight the URL and hit control C, come back to your post and hit Control V.</p>

<p>I too enjoy this ad - brings me back to last year when my daughter was in that position.</p>

<p>Okay, here is the link to the video:</p>

<p>[Acceptance</a> - YouTube](<a href=“- YouTube”>- YouTube)</p>

<p>Priceless! They need to do a sequel, I wanted more.</p>

<p>Awesome. I have seen it on TV, they should do more, and Target is right “every kid deserves this moment.”</p>

<p>Very sweet. :slight_smile: Nice job, Target.</p>

<p>The team behind the ad tracked down all of the students and paid them to use their videos! </p>

<p>One of the students is the son of an admission dean from another school. The dean was taking the video. :)</p>

<p>Wonderful video!</p>

<p>I love it! </p>

<p>Brings back memories of S’s admission. I was driving when he called. D held the phone while I screamed with excitement.</p>

<p>Great ad! Someone commented “The only thing better than this would be to capture the expressions on their faces when they open their first student loan bill.”</p>

<p>^ or a bank ad with parents in the other room figuring out how to pay.</p>

<p>Yes saw it on tv, it brought tears to my eyes. My D was so excited to be accepted to UCLA (not where she ended up ironically) her hands were shaking as she turned the laptop so I could see.</p>

<p>yes, the memories :slight_smile: Another reminder that the internet (and CC) is forever.</p>

<p>It reminds me of that heart tugger posted here last year, with the Chinese mother/son missing each other during his first semester at college.</p>

<p>I remember that one, too, cottonwood!</p>
