Transcripts
hello and welcome back to my channel or
welcome if you are new here my name is
helen
and i'm officially enrolled as a minerva
student
class of 2025 or m25 as we call it in
this video i want to explain how
the application process works for
minerva because it's super different
from any other u.s colleges that i've
applied to
if you've never heard of minerva i
talked about it in this video where i
explained why i chose to transfer from
brown to minerva and
the basics of how minerva works so check
it out if you've
never heard of minerva if you have heard
of minerva and you're thinking of
applying
this video is for you a quick disclaimer
i'm not an official minerva
representative and in my previous video
i forgot to mention it verbally but i
did include in my description
box so i'm not an official
representative anything that i talk
about in this video
is from my own research and from my own
experience so take everything i say with
a grain of salt
i will divide this video into two
portions in the first portion i'll
explain
how the process works and in the second
portion i'll give you my tips on how you
can do better
during the application process
like i said minerva's application is
super different and
it's unique and i've never seen any
other school
use this kind of process before first
there is no application fee
unlike most u.s colleges second there
are no standardized
test requirements so no sat no act
anything like that
thirdly there are no quotas for gender
or ethnicity
fourth there's no preferential treatment
for u.s citizens or athletes or legacies
that are prevalent in
almost all traditional us colleges fifth
there are no consideration of family or
financial status during the admission
and lastly there's no enrollment cap so
technically anyone who applies that
meets minerva's criteria can
get in so there's no cap of how many
students
can be accepted each year okay moving on
the application itself has three parts
the first part is who you are so that
includes your basic information like
which high school you graduated from
or are expecting to graduate from your
high school transcript and other basic
information about you
when i applied last year i don't think
the application was offered through the
common app but
now it is so you can complete the first
portion of the application through the
common app and then move on to
um parts two and three on minerva's
website the second part of the
application is how you think
so this was the part that i was most
nervous about
because this was something i've never
encountered in other colleges
and it felt like more of an iq test
rather than a college application so in
this part there are a series of
challenges that test
how we think how creative we are and
things like that
there was an understanding um challenge
reasoning math creativity writing and
expression so in the expression
portion we have to verbally speak and
like were recorded the challenges are
timed
and proctored so you have a time limit
for each
section and your camera and your
microphone are on
so you cannot have someone beside you in
the room
and ask the answers or whatever so
please don't attempt that that would be
a big mistake so just
try your best and the third part of the
application
is the accomplishments section so it
asks you to
share six i believe six accomplishments
that you've made
these accomplishments can be anything
from your
personal projects it could be like
creative projects that you've pursued
to um internships jobs
leadership positions in high school
volunteering anything like that anything
that really shows who you are as a
person and what you've been
able to accomplish in the last
three to four years in high school so
yeah you list down those accomplishments
and give
solid evidence of um how you've
accomplished them
and what you've actually accomplished so
like including numbers
and amount of hours like
specific amounts of money if you
fundraise for something things like that
it's very important so
yeah that's the third section
next i want to give you some tips so
when you're actually applying your
process is easier and smoother and
you're more well informed and you feel
more ready to get into
the application first don't overthink it
and this applies mainly to the
challenges section because
like i am a very very extreme
overthinker i overthink every single
detail so i was really freaking out like
oh my gosh what if
i make this one mistake and like mess
everything up and i was just so worried
but honestly you can't really study for
the
how you think section and like all the
challenges that you have to do
it's basically literally like what's
already in your head
also in the speaking section i was very
nervous
because there was a certain amount of
time that we have to fill
and we can't stop beforehand it's like
we kind of have to talk for like the
time limit and
like not more not less so i was trying
so hard to
fill in the time some of the questions i
went over time some of the questions
like
i i couldn't think of any other thing to
say because it was like on spa
and yeah like my brain was heating up
and i was so nervous so
yeah but trust in yourself and just try
your best and don't overthink it the
second tip i have is more practical
and it is to have a piece of paper and a
pencil or pen ready because in the math
and in the speaking section that would
be helpful in the math section some
problems you can
it will help to like quickly calculate
it
and in the speaking section after you
hear the prompt it will help to
brainstorm or outline some main points
that you want to talk about
when the timer um starts that and you
have to
start speaking thirdly this i
don't think i really did before
i began my application but
i would say really think and prepare the
reasons why you want to attend minerva
and why you think it fits you
not just why you think minerva should
accept you
but also why it's a good fit for you
it's like any of any relationship you
know like it has to be
like both ways so it's important to
really think about and remind yourself
and
remember like why you're applying to
minerva what aspects of minerva you're
excited about
and also what aspects of minerva is
um holding you back in certain ways
so yeah really think about that the
fourth tip i have
applies to the third portion the
accomplishments portion
and it is to be very selective of what
accomplishments you want to
share i would say the more
unconventional
your accomplishments seem the better
because the first time i applied
the majority of my accomplishments were
things that pretty much any other high
schooler could have done
but the second time around i feel like
the things that i did
in between the first time i applied and
the second time
those things really showed who i am as a
person
and what i'm interested in and my
passions
my passions which like i haven't really
found my true calling
or whatever but things that i'm
interested in and things that really
make me happy and not just
for college during high school i feel
like the things i did were
very limited in the sense that most of
my other classmates were doing the same
clubs and projects as well so it wasn't
unique so yeah be very selective
of what accomplishments you want to
share and really think about
what really makes
your application different from others
and like what is unique
about you and what you can offer to the
community
those are my tips and my explanation of
the whole minerva application process i
hope this was helpful for you and if you
have any other questions feel free to
leave them
in the comments below or you can also dm
me on my instagram
right here thank you for watching this
and i'll see you in my next video
