Rather than submitting a stodgy old CV alone, ZeeMee creates a profile filled with images, short videos, and bite-sized descriptions, like a social media account that high school seniors can show off to college admissions teams. Considering the tremendous popularity of platforms like [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gas) and [Snapchat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noteit) among today's high school students, it's no surprise that Gen Z is adept at presenting themselves through the lens of [short videos and images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snapbio). ZeeMee lets these young adults move back into their comfort zone when applying to colleges, since constructing a clean CV might as well be like learning ancient Greek. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialmedia) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Social Media College Applications:** The integration of social media platforms can provide a fast and interactive way for high school students to apply for college. - **Personalized College Applications:** Creating a profile filled with personalized content can offer a unique college admissions experience for high school students. - **Video-based College Applications:** Utilizing short videos as a way to showcase skills and personality can offer a new, more engaging way for high school students to apply for college. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Higher Education:** Colleges and universities can adopt social media-based applications to appeal to the next generation of applicants, who prioritize fast and interactive experiences. - **Social Media:** Social media platforms can explore partnerships with colleges and universities to create alternative application methods for high school students. - **Edtech:** EdTech companies can innovate the traditional college admissions process by providing personalized and video-based application platforms for high school students. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gen Z Video Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zigazoo.md) - [College-Focused Social Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiktoks-campus-verification.md) - [AI-Powered College Admissions Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/admitgpt.md) - [Video-Based Hiring Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/social-hiring-platform.md) - [Gen Z Job Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jobamax-app.md) - [AI College Consulting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brightroom-ai.md) - [Child-Safe Social Media Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/childsafe-social-media-app.md) - [AI Student Chat Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/student-life-with-zapshot.md) - [Professional Community Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linkedin-3.md)
