Congratulations! Also applied there. Seems to be doing OOS first.

Act: 30
Rank: Top 11%
Hooks: Awesome Essay, First gen. college student, Extenuating circumstances in my sophomore year explained a drop in grades. (Near perfect grades all other years) Very rigorous course work (8 Ap’s, all the rest honors)

Congrats to everybody who’s gotten in so far and good luck to everyone who hasn’t heard back!

@Jcamz98 Congrats! When was your application complete? Also, do you mean CLA(College of Liberal Arts)?

@vvfor3 I completed it right around October 23rd I believe. And yeah I did mean CLA.

Hey, has anyone received any information about scholarships?

Last year (according to this thread here: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-minnesota-twin-cities/1695220-timing-of-scholarship-notification.html) admitted students started receiving offers as early as November 1st…

Why do they send OOS first? Should I expect a wait because I live in WI and would get reciprocity tuition? For reference: I sent my app on 11/4/15, 3.99 UW, 33 ACT, 7/127 rank.

@smithemi97 I don’t think you should expect to wait due to being from Wisconsin. My son and two others from his class were admitted pretty quickly (and all into different colleges at UMTC). I think I’ve seen others from Wisconsin on this thread as well.

Best of luck!

Thanks @Mtriplee
I’m assuming the acceptances are coming via portal first, right? Have you gotten an email/snail mail yet? And if so, how long did that take? I’m just really freaked out and need some tangible proof that a school will take me, considering I’m expecting a batch of rejections come spring haha

@smithemi97 Yes, the decision seems to show up on the portal well ahead of any other type of notification. My son hasn’t received email or snail mail since being accepted a week ago.

Going back and looking at this thread from February, it appears it could be a long wait for some applicants…even if you submitted your application in August or September:

Best Friday the 13th ever!
