Already accepted into other fairly competitive schools (Mich state, uw Madison, UCLA). At this point we would just like to hear either way.
@kelsum01 I don’t think he looked at it prior to getting the package in the mail as he didn’t expect to hear back so quickly
@Hockeyhunting I’m curious when you received your acceptance to UCLA? From everything I have heard over the years the admission decisions are not released until sometime in March. I would have to assume you are an athlete if you received early admission or are their other criteria that would have certain students receiving admission so far in advance. I would imagine you must be applying to some amazing schools if you consider UCLA just a fairly competitive school.Here in California UCLA is considered one the the most competitive schools. Congratulations on already being admitted!
Sorry @collegemom2bee !! I thought I heard my son say that but I was wrong. You’re right, decisions don’t come out until March.
Applied on November 11th, still haven’t received anything. Today my application tracker said “Update Available!” and asked for me to update my most recent term grades through the SRAR. Does this mean I was deferred? I updated my grades, but will I still get a decision by Friday?
Minnesota’s process is strange. Last year my D’s friend had Minnesota as her top choice. She applied EA and waited and waited while others got their acceptances. She eventually got disenchanted and started considering other options more seriously. By the time she got her acceptance she had moved on.
I know it’s stressful but for whatever reason they seem to drag things out.
My son’s tracker FINALLY changed to Update Available. So hopefully the decision is coming soon.
Are we required to resubmit our midterm grades, I already have my grades but I know some schools nearby who are still taking finals right now and will not have them by January 31st.
Just called the admission office and they said decisions come out at 4 PM central time
hockeyhunting, did they say it will be 4:00 PM CT today or on the days they release the decisions?
My son was admitted to CEHD! It was his second choice, but he is good with it. Now has to make his final decision.
@drjdillon what are your sons stats?
Sorry just saw this. He has a 4.0 UW GPA, tied for 1st in his class, but not a good standardized test taker. ACT was 24. He is a 3 sport athlete and tons of extracurriculars though. I suppose that helped. Just not enough to get into Carlson right now.
OOS some from NJ just got notified of acceptance - the portal says congrats on your acceptance - nothing else. Nothing about which program or major, scholarships, honors etc. What school does that - pretty weak system
@25Raider - I don’t know about the other colleges at UMN, but CSE does not admit to the major. The acceptance letter just says you got into the college. Invitation to join honors and scholarships come later if you qualify.
Agree with cshell2. Only thing I would add is UMTC may see someone from out east thinking your using them as a back up and not a top choice. I also saw Clemson and UMD on their list.
