    That is freakin' helpful!
    I'm a junior at an Egyptian STEM school, and Minerva is my dream college. I was worried about the six accomplishments part of the application, but you made it sound like: a piece of cake. I now understood what they mentioned on their website about the definition of the word "accomplishment"; simply no definition. We're the ones who define it!

    hi! just wanted to say again how helpful this was hahah since i am currently writing accomplishments for my application! this definitely helped calm my nerves. 💕also, the solo trip around 10 different cities in Asia! what?! such a cool accomplishment, like obviously all of your accomplishments are amazing but that one is just so impressive to me!!

    Hello! I have a very quick question for you:) can I put my volunteering experience as one of the accomplishments? I have a lot of aspects and experiences I can share there, but I am not sure if it is allowed

    Hi, just want something clarified in the Accomplishment section. I apply to the uni this year and am in the process of filling out this section. For each accomplishment, I only see the Description section and Description of Significance without the place to write the title. If I just start writing the description right away, it seems a little weird but would waste a lot of characters about the title in the description section. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks!

    • @savannahcjackson
      @savannahcjackson  ปีที่แล้ว

      there doesn't need to be a title. just write 500 characters for each and make the most of your limited space!

    Thank you for this video! I’m in the process of applying, however my achievements aren’t very affiliated with reputed organizations or won national awards. It was mostly courses and projects I did on my own time

    Thank you so much for this video! It was very helpful!! Could you please tell me in the first part when applying students need to describe their 3 accomplishments (before getting access to the admission center), students need to super briefly state their achievements, and later in the next steps, they would be able to add text (write about the significance of accomplishment)? Or do I need to right there write in detail about my accomplishments?
    thank you in advance!!

    • @savannahcjackson
      @savannahcjackson  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      yes! of course. the brief description is just to get you started:) you can edit and change them later. glad my video helped 💗💗 good luck
