Thats so unique learning approach and in fact one of my elective is like that discussion based no live lecture but recorded. Sounds super interesting!!
Wow! I'm so glad this was on my home page! I've never heard of Minerva before, but it sounds like an amazing opportunity! You've gained a new subscriber! - I'm excited to see your journey!
(Firstly, sorry for the long comment) Hi Helen, I really love your videos and watch them. Big Congrats on your acceptance to Minerva. I obviously want to wish you the best for your upcoming journey. But still, if it's not too late, I am just trying to tell you to think a little bit again. I am not telling you to go to Brown or anything like that. But the decision you have taken is really big, I hope you have already researched a lot about your priorities. But still want to provide you some last resources I have from my side. But before everything, if finance is the concern with brown, then I have no points. One wouldn't go to even Stanford if the tuition bears a heavy load. But with your other priorities, traveling to other countries, collaborative works, discussions, immersing in global culture- I think Brown doesn't have any shortage in these things. You can always apply for study abroad programs. Afaik you did your first year online, maybe a reason why you might not get the familiarity with the on-campus environment or even if you did, I am sure, in upper years the collaboration, discussion and engagement among students will increase a lot. Maybe you've checked but still mentioning the link- some feedbacks from Minerva students, they also went to the school with the same priorities as yours but did not really find the expectations (obviously it doesn't mean that you won't either. www.quora.com/What-is-it-like-to-be-a-student-at-the-Minerva-Schools-at-KGI And what I understand is you have an interest in engaging with different people and cultures. So you can take the advantage of Brown's open curriculum and take a lot of humanities courses like anthropology, journalism, media, Asian studies etc and you can just choose to enter the anthropologic media field as your occupation. There are thousands of world travelers and vloggers like Nas Daily who are now living the life I think you wish to lead, traveling countries, mixing with different indigenous and ethnic people etc. You have your whole life ahead to direct, to travel the world, to have a discussion-based work environment and everything. So you can't really go wrong with brown here with your priorities. And yes, you said you don't need outside facilities like fields, gyms etc. But I think you will really miss the unique experiences of engaging in a library discussion or researching inside a university laboratory if you go to Minerva. Lastly, I really don't want to say this at all but I should. Also, I don't have any confirmation nor proof for my statement and it is not my statement at all. I just heard from students in my country (Minerva is popular here for the regional directors) that Minerva is a scam. I heard there is a video by unjaded jade ( a Minerva student) who claimed doubtfulness about its legitimacy. I never tried to find the video, you may try. But you can surely search google and find lots of people claiming doubt on Reddit and other sites. Also, their acceptance rate is not a legit stat, they count unfinished and unsubmitted applications when counting their acceptance rate- a thing which surely tells they are forcefully trying to make their appearance more intimidating. Again, about its scamming part, I don't have any comment, I just told you what i heard from friends and got from the internet. Again, sorry for this long cracking comment, dk whether you will even read it or not, but if you read, it's definitely not to pressurize you or something. I just want you to make the best decision for you and your future considering things from every dimension. AND NEVER STOP MAKING VIDEOS. Cheers and best of luck :D.
Hello! Thank you for your comment (I actually read everything till the end haha) and thank you for your support on my videos! ❤️ I totally understand where you're coming from, and the concerns you've mentioned are factors I also took into consideration before I decided to commit to my decision of transferring. I decided to go ahead with my decision despite all of this because I really believe in the system of learning that Minerva stands for, and I am willing to take the negatives that will come, along with the positives. I don't know what's waiting for me in the next 4 years, but one thing is for sure, I'm definitely going to be documenting my journey and sharing it here! ❤️❤️
Hey! That's a very valid reason. However, just so you know, we get access to public local libraries in every city. Your point is still valid, it's not the same but it's something. ;p
its a complete scam tbfh you pay loads for a bulshit degree no one knows about. Apparently you 'get to know' the places you live in but from what I've seen from UnjadedJade it's mostly just visiting cafe's and other touristy surface-level things
@@rosaliestudies8494 depends also on what you want for a future job. Networking can be very important. And International Relations type jobs want experience working and living abroad 🤷♀️
For a good value education along with decent reputation & credibility, in the US I’d choose your local State University. If you want a prestigious UK education, I’d choose a Russell Group Uni (there’s 24 to choose from) This Minerva sounds very Mickey Mouse!
But isn't covid going to affect these international semesters...It seems at least one or two international semesters of your program will be affected at minimum.
If you are looking to see someone else on yt showing their experiences Minerva then there is a lovely British girl called unjadedjade who has now done Minerva for 2 years now and has lived in SF, Berlin and Seoul so far (the pandemic messed up the countries originally planned)
Thank you!! I didn't actually do anything to appeal to get off Brown's wait list, but I've heard that we can send an appeal to raise our chances of getting off the wait list.
@@user-bb1xh5yd1v I'm not too sure about how it works, but as far as I know, we can send a letter indicating our continued interest in the college and include any accomplishments we've achieved since the application with evidence for it. I hope this helps!
Really loved this video! So sad I did not know about Minerva until I almost finished my undergrad haha, I really would have considered applying. I subscribed, very curious about your journey at Minerva :)
Thank you for sharing. I have a question. I'm also thinking about transferring to Minerva, but I'm going to start from freshman. Correct? Also, could you transfer some credit housr from Brown to Minerva?
That's correct, we start from freshman year. Since Minerva requires all students to take the first-year foundational classes, we cannot transfer the credits from another school.
Hello Helen. I've applied to Minerva as well and my decision is coming in a couple of days. As you mentioned you are transferring from Brown after spending one year there, I got curious if you will start from the first year at Minerva or from the 2nd year? I'm asking this as Minerva's classes from 3rd semester will be based on the skills taught in the first year.
Hey Jeevan! I started from the first year at Minerva since we need to complete the Foundation courses in the first year before we can take other courses in the second year. And best of luck with your application decision! :)
firstly, I wanna thank you for making this video and congrats on being accepted. furthermore, I have a few questions about transferring as an international student, how many credits are being allowed to transform from my college to Minerva, and is there any additional papers I need to have for applying to the uni ?
Thank you! And I'm glad this video was helpful for you :) On your questions - there isn't a limit as to how many credits you can transfer to Minerva, but keep in mind they most likely won't be able to replace any classes you need to take since Minerva's curriculum is quite specific. From my experience I didn't need any additional papers to apply to Minerva. I hope this answered your questions!
same! i know jade loves the school, but im a bit sceptical of the schools model based on her q&a video :/ itll be nice to have another students perspective tho!
I can see you are tired because your stereotypical ideas of education by no means correlate to a successful life. I have spoken to numerous people who have gone to prestigious universities and have finished now with no career prospects and feel burnt out. This program develops both you and your career. Times are changing with stereotypical education which is by no means bad.

@@HtetYuya Best of luck with your journey. Hope it will be amazing. And again congratulations on your amazing achievement.
I could never go to a school like Minerva because I love college libraries so much and feel honored to have access to them.
Hey! That's a very valid reason. However, just so you know, we get access to public local libraries in every city.
Your point is still valid, it's not the same but it's something. ;p
@@yashvardhansharma4224 nice :)
What about just go to the school library without registration.
I don’t know about this school, but this video was very interesting!!
Aww you go girl, that is such a great opportunity for you.
Thank you so much!!
Woah your college sounds so interesting, Best of luck, I'm sure you'll have a blast:)
Why would you transfer out of Brown?
wow, that sounds like such an awesome school model! good luck with your new college experience!
Thank you!! ❤️
Congrats Helen!! Minerva is definitely gonna be a great experience
Thank youu! ☺️
Congratulations!! I'm also a part of M'25! So excited to meet you this fall

Aww you're so sweet! 🥰 thank youu
I'm so happy for you, I hope the rest of your time in college and further is amazing
so is it open university but more expensive ??
basically but you actually live in student housing around the globe so u meet the ppl u learn with irl instead of just online

My grandma has lived in taipei most of her life and I've been there a ton, lmk if you need connections or cool places to go!
congrats from Argentina!! Buenos Aires is a beautiful city
unjaded jade is at Minerva and it looks INCREDIBLE

Wow! Could you do an update on how you have found it at the end of the year! I’d love to hear how it has gone so far for you! ❤
You said you were on Brown waitlist, how and what did you do to get into Brown? Thanks for sharing, love your video

That's correct, we start from freshman year. Since Minerva requires all students to take the first-year foundational classes, we cannot transfer the credits from another school.
Did you reapply for Minerva or did you have some sort of transfer application process? Btw love your vlogs
I reapplied this year!! And thank youu 🥰
Sounds interesting but how do you live in other cities when there is a pandemic??
The process is a bit complicated with the pandemic, but I'm hoping for the best!

Such an idiotic decision 💀
Have u been to Taipei yet, or we can meet if you are👀
