  • @neurometrics1285

    (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.

    • @HtetYuya
      @HtetYuya  3 года назад +8

      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! ❤️❤️

    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.

    • @HtetYuya
      @HtetYuya  2 года назад +1

      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!
