Students will see the update in their application tracker/umn page well before they get an email or letter in the mail. For the last four year, acceptances are posted on Monday afternoons regularly.

Thanks everyone. He just checked again and thereās nothing except for details of his application. Hearing that folks like him (OOS, similar metrics, and same major) have been receiving acceptance letters for weeks is really turning him off of the university. I donāt blame him.
My daughter received an email yesterday afternoon telling her she had an update to check.
My son (in state) applied for industrial engineering in August and received his acceptance yesterday. I understand the frustration, hopefully he will hear back in couple of days for sure. Good luck.

Hi on my umn acceptance email it tells me i was admitted to engineering but apparently if you scroll down theres another letter telling you you got into your majorā¦i donāt have one. Did I not get into my major?
UMN CSE admit is to the College of Science & Engineering, and not directly to the major. Admission to major is based on technical GPA.
CS is the hardest major to get into.

My S24 OOS was just admitted into engineering. While Iām really unimpressed with how UMN processes applications, Iām happy for the outcome. My son is excited.

Son admitted yesterday evening (a Thursday, despite my reading here and elsewhere that decisions are released on Mondays, so we were happily surprised!).
OOS (WI), 3.6 unweighted, 5 APs, 3 dual enrollments, 28 ACT (but with 31s in math and science). Applied EA on 10/31.
Applied to CSE but letter states: āYou have been admitted to the University of Minnesota Twin Cities for Fall 2024. Your college of admission is the College of Liberal Arts. If we are able to offer you admission to another one of our colleges, based on the choices listed on your application, we will notify you of your updated admission decision.ā
Iām happy about this since heās really undecided but was leery to apply that way, so he picked engineering since it āseemed funā. Eyeroll! Was so nervous about this choice of his, so very relieved with what the letter states.
Was a long wait!

DS24 got his merit award in the mail on Saturday! I was starting to think that he might not receive any merit there. He was accepted in mid-November. He received the National Scholarship for $10,000 and the Presidential Scholarship for $5,000. We are OOS. Heās in the College of Liberal Arts.

Anyone having trouble getting into the housing application today? My daughter tried logging in and it says she needs to initiate her internet ID. She had already done that so she reset her password and can get into My U and her email but when she tries to get into Housing it says the same error. Is this just a greater issue that others are experiencing as well?
My son applied to the College of Science and Engineering, but was accepted to the College of Liberal Arts. (Heās undecided, so we thought that was ok). Well, last night he received a congrats letter that heās now been admitted to the College of Science and Engineering. Does that seem odd? Do you think starting out in that college would be a bad idea for an undecided kid? (He excels grade-wise in the sciences, but has no idea what he wants to do).
