Thank you for always being the best, most supportive UnJaded community. 😌 The fact I finally found something that just felt right... eeeeeeeeeeeek x

      Agathe Rigault just to be clear Amii (close friend of mine) never asked for personally identifiable information lol, she’s never just heard of your cousin. We’re both class of 2020 and so it’s possible your cousin matriculated in 2014 and dropped out the same year we enrolled and so we’ve never heard of her.
      What your cousin says about Minerva not being well known (not well seen isn’t really a thing) is totally valid though and many students, myself included share these concerns. Name recognition can be really powerful for getting to interviews, but after that you still need to prove your merit like everyone else. Just thinking from a hypothetical recruiter’s point of view though, I wouldn’t immediately throw out an application if I don’t recognize the university and would be intrigued if they’ve completed multiple interesting internships across multiple countries.
      Speaking empirically though students have been accepted to positions at google, Facebook, apple, Amazon, linkedin, so I think we have decent name recognition among tech startups at least. What field was your cousin in, out of curiosity?

    I'm happy for Jade, if this is her decision then I hope she enjoys it! Just wanted to share an encounter I had with the CEO of Minerva. I met him in real life at an education conference, he told me I "sounded like a Minerva student" and should apply, when I told him I couldn't apply there because I was interested in Canada he called me a "hypocrite" for wanting the education system to change yet still going to a "stereotypical" and traditional school. I retaliated saying Minerva was simply unaffordable and not the way I learnt and he went on about how great the university was and how it was a "paradigm shift" in regards to learning. He basically tried to recruit me by belittling my university choices. If I'm being honest, this university is for the rich, many of which have their head up their arse thinking their superior to other uni's because they're diFfeRenT. Jade's definitely not like this but from the students I've seen, they sort of are. I respect peoples choices to go there but don't belittle mine for not.
    I watched a video by the CEO just recently about Minerva and in the video you can see the elitist behaviour. Talking about how other universities can't compare, how their students are "miles" ahead. What's so different about this university? Travel? They do realize exchange programs exist? Extra-curricular involvement? Please, the average university can offer hundreds. Online learning? A google search away.
    I don't mean to bash Jade btw, love her and a big fan of hers always. I even brought her up to the CEO saying I really appreciated who she is, I just don't appreciate the CEO or the university. That said, I'm happy with Jade's decision to go there, it is after all, her choice:)

    Jade you really need to be careful. I’ve looked it up and people say that their grads have gotten internships and jobs at Facebook, Twitter, Google. Ummmm makes sense because this uni is started in silicon valley. No one talks about getting jobs OUTSIDE of silicon valley, where employees have never heard about the college. I think it makes sense if you want to get into start ups and tech, but no sense in virtually every other field. I’m literally worried for you lol

A couple are going to new york for finance. There are a lot more I'm not thinking of, and it should be kept in mind that these guys haven't graduated yet

So basically recognised in the US but I’m not seeing other foreign universities, apart from the one Canada mentioned. Also can you provide information about what kind of programs, was it medicine, law etc or give some names because I’ve tried to look up people in Linkedin and I haven’t seen anyone doing postgraduate study at a prestigious university post Minerva. Further, can you disclose if you worked in the Minerva admin team as it seems like many students have directly worked for Minerva.

    • @pipobputhipiroj9043
      @pipobputhipiroj9043 5 років тому +8

      ??? I literally mentioned Cambridge, not sure which college (for Math). If you want specifically postgrad at prestigious universities, I can think of Harvard (one doing Phd in Biology, another doing work at stem cell lab), NYU (Phd in Data Science), Berkeley (Phd in quantum? Physics). I don't want to give names, but you can probably find them on linkedin (just make sure you're looking at profiles that graduated in 2019).
      Finally, I'm a student, and no, I don't work with the admin team.
      edit: I just remembered that the guy who got into Harvard also got accepted to a Phd program at oxford.

    Jade, I know this is too late but what you could have done is to just go to Bristol University and then just sign up or apply for international internships/volunteering after summer exams if travelling is what you like. That way at least you know you are going to a genuine and recognised institution and you can decide exactly where to go in the world. Literally everyone I know who got rejected from their first university preference have no regrets at all once they settle at their second option and would never change it for the world for the friends they have made and the people they are redirected to. Anyway, stay safe.

    I am very happy for you Jade and I hope that this all pans out as it is meant to.
    I will voice that I do share concerns that others have expressed in the comments; living in the US I am very used to seeing how the for-profit university model advertises itself, and the kind of promises they make. Unfortunately this particular university raises a lot of those red flags for me. I do hope that I am wrong on so many levels, but I also hope that you are able to keep your wits about you if something doesn't feel right and not be caught up in the glitz and glamour of travelling the world. It sounds wonderful, but frequently those things that sound too good to be true are.
    I would definitely be cautious and ask them not only about their admissions rate (which are frequently conflated by for profit and non profit universities to be smaller than they actually are) but also for the percentage of graduates that have gainful employment after a year, and also be sure to ask for descriptive data regarding what that employment is. Again, frequently universities of all kinds will inflate this percentage to seem artificially high but the number of students actually employed in their field and not, say, at a grocery store, is very low. I worry that, with this university being relatively unheard of (speaking as an American so I'd think I would have heard of it) that this four years will not lead to gainful employment in the sector you seek, which is unfortunately the case for a lot of schools that are either for profit or have questionable accreditation.

      Hey! I'm a current student and stumbled on this video (not like paid or supported by Minerva).
      Firstly, the actual university part (Minerva Schools) is a nonprofit and the company that makes the video chat (Minerva Project) is for profit.
      In regards to employment rate.... it's currently 0%. I'm in the first graduating class and we're graduating in a week. It's VERY new. That being said, my class is moving on to a wide variety of callings, and I'm so excited for everyone. Some students are going to tech companies (incl. Twitter, Google, I'm going to Uber). Some are going to non-profits (e.g. a friend working in India at an evalution non-profit, or another going to DC for ethical tech) and some are going to finance (PE firms) or continuing their education (one student going to Harvard Med, NYU, Cambridge).
      My class is only about ~100 students, but each one's story and motivation excites the shit out of me, and I know they'll go on to change the world. In that sense I'm in no way at all worried about the employment percentage for Minerva grads. I think the stories of Minerva '19 and future classes will speak for themselves.

    Did some research on Minerva and the guy who runs it and he really infuriates me. He has this vision that all universities should reform and utilise these strategies that Minerva do, he says "Universities must respond to Minerva, either by adopting our system or, ideally, by coming up with something that's even better that we can adopt"...but can you imagine if every university in the world was doing this? Right now, Minerva science students can only use labs from partner universities (I think?) or other lab facilities, so if every university did this there would be no labs, and can you imagine hundreds and thousands of students overcrowding all these other lab facilities where people need to work?? Also keeping track of say 22,000 students who are all over the world all the time would be a nightmare.
    He has said and I quote "You do not get an education in a traditional university. You get information, you may learn a subject. But an education requires a structured, deliberate programme that develops the individual mind" I mean i don't even need to explain how untrue this is, my university course is all of those things as I'm sure every other traditional university is lmao.
    He also bangs on about how "Our students after one year go on internships and they are able to do the kinds of jobs in the workplace that third-year Ivy League students would struggle to do. So they perform at a level that is substantially higher than any of their peers." That is a bold statement and one that I really don't think he can make without some really convincing stats to back it up, and (from what I've seen) he hasn't done any studies comparing a group of Ivy league students to a group of Minerva students in an internship.
    He put's down people who have gone to countries to build houses for example Uganda (where my friend is currently doing this), saying "We're not particularly impressed if mum and dad put you on a plane to Honduras and had you build a house for someone" I feel like this is very ignorant and generalises everyone who goes away to do this, my friend spent a year raising £1400 and another couple hundred for vaccinations to go over there with not a single penny from her parents. I guess open-mindedness isn't one of the skills Minerva looks to develop in its students.
    Okay I could go on for days but one thing that personally pushes my buttons are these types of comments "As for learning a language, he advises buying software, visiting a country, or “getting a boyfriend” who speaks it." I am currently studying a modern languages degree and this totally infuriates me. I finished the Duolingo tree, and I am not fluent, I have plenty of friends who speak my target language and yet I cannot interpret in a business scenario. It's just once again so ignorant and close minded, and that is why I could not advise anyone to go to a university knowing that this man is in charge.

      i know that this isn't entirely relevant to the point of your comment, but I just wanted to say that you should look into the damage that going to build houses in these nations does to communities. There are plenty of videos here on youtube addressing how performative it is when there are a myriad of other ways to help which - while perhaps not allowing young people to take photos for Instagram with poor kids and write a college essay on how the trip 'changed their life' - do not inflict the same psychological and economic impacts :)

      I went on a major Minerva rabbit-hole today, and I ended up in a similar mindset to you. I even listened to an NPR debate that the founder took part in! I kind of think they're just using the school as a test subjects/PR for the technology. Getting well-accomplished and smart students only makes them look better, and due to the cost of the school, they're likely to have family connections, and enough clout to be able to make it in their chosen field. This guy comes from tech, not education, and they're partnering with universities to use their software. I'm surprised they don't have more partnerships going considering the pandemic, but maybe the intensity of the data monitoring is too much for a lot of institutions. I can't believe that they even record video of people taking the "challenges"! How much data do they have on all of the people that have enrolled in the university, and how is it used?
