Minerva Schools at KGI: All in

Hey guys, I thought I’d start this thread for everything Minerva. If you’re already a student or a future one, if you applied and got accepted or didn’t. If you’re still waiting for a decision.
Let’s just all talk about this school that I’m personally in love with. (And I always thought it wouldn’t be possible for me love a school?)
Anything you have to share at all, any experience, let’s talk about it.

So let’s see.
I just applied for the extended decision deadline. Binding enrolment. And I can’t wait to get a decision. I really hope they accept and would be devastated if they didn’t cause its my dream school.

What is the application process like?

@lilymari well it isn’t like other schools’. It has 3 parts: the normal information, the challenges and then the achievements. It was really a fun process for me. You can get all the details from their website.

Hi. Did you get decision?

@202317fyutk yeah I have and they accepted me???. I was sooo happy you can’t even imagine.

@XenaStark Did you enroll? I am M23 also!

@emmaccourt unfortunately I didn’t???
So I’m guessing you chose Minerva instead of USC? If So, do you mind me asking what helped you make your final choice.

Hi, I am a Chinese current undergraduate, I am applying for Minerva now, I am so nervous about the challenges, could you plz provide me some guides? Especially for creativity and writing, what kind of topic would minerva ask you to write about?

Hi, I submitted an app recently and thought it was rather crappy. However yesterday I got an email asking for more info on a specific activity I included on my app. I was surprised that they actually read my app that thoroughly, and I don’t quite understand why they would need that info(I solde some products, I included the profit on my app and they asked for the revenue)…as if it’s going to affect my decision! Do you think it means anything positive that I got the email? I’m an international senior in need of aid therefore I got rejected to all colleges so far, if I get into minerva that would be a miracle.

I dont really think it means anything that they asked for more info, i think they just want to be thorough in reviewing your application. They asked me for the contact info of one of the ECs i submitted too, but I feel like they do it for everyone. On a different note, I thought my app was terrible but I still got in so. I think maybe a giveaway of if you got in would be being added to a group chat for “promising students” or being asked for an interview w your family. Goodluck!
