How long does it take the U to make decision?

Finally an update I got a call from an admissions counselor last night after I emailed the admissions office. Basically, he told me I was going to be admitted to the university BUT the reason that my application is taking so long is because my first choice was College of Science & Engineering. Since it’s one of the most competitive UMinn colleges, I am borderline. They want to wait until the end of the process to make sure they don’t admit too many students to CSE.

In other words, if you are still waiting on a decision it may simply be because you are on a “wait list” for your first choice college.
