My daughter was an early adopter of this technique. Three years ago she uploaded a video of her theatre camp stand up comedy routine onto youtube. When my daughter called the admissions office of her top choice college, where some comedy writing courses are offered, she accidentally got to speak to the Director of Admissions. He remembered her name and told her he had enjoyed her video. She subsequently got admitted. So uploading a youtube video can be effective. But I would only advise using it when it provides specific additional information for the admissions office. Some of the Tufts videos on youtube did not seem to do that, in my opinion.
