Hi there. Is Univ of Minnesota rolling admission? i.e, you receive EA decision before the typical mid December decision date? thanks!

Judging from last year’s thread, a number of decisions went out earlier but a number also only got decisions late January. I’m not sure what the split was in terms of earlier vs later notice, but the earlier decision notification dates didn’t seem to be based on date of submission, or whether they were instate or OOS. It seems to me logical to conclude that the earlier decisions were the clear admits?

Yeah, I remember from my 1st DS times. They offer rolling admission decisions to clear/direct admits. My 2nd DS just submitted his Common App (they no longer accept Golden Gopher app - was easy to do) yesterday for UMNTC.

Is it better to submit letters of recommendation? Common says it is optional for UMNTC, but what is the general recommendation regarding that.

It is better if it adds value usually. I had DS1 apply without any essays/LoR and got admitted in 2022
