University of Minnesota Twin Cities Early Action for Fall 2024 Admission

You graduate from the College within UMN so being admitted to CSE is a good thing if he thinks he might choose a major in that College. Much easier I believe to move from CSE to CLA (College of Liberal Arts) than the other way around.

Most likely CSE was their first choice and CLA was their second choice. UMN knew they would be admitted to CLA so did that first and then when a spot opened at CSE they were moved there.

Each college does have different graduation requirements - there are UMN requirements for general study, then College requirements for general study, then major requirements. For example my kids in CLA needed to complete 4 semesters of a foreign language but that doesn’t apply to all Colleges at UMN

Thank you for this. Lots to consider. I was thinking the letter was a mistake (a la some of the erroneous IU letters this year!). Seems odd that spaces would open up at this point. But I called to confirm, and it is was not a fake letter. Guess hard decisions are good. ; )

Some colleges are already making offers to students on their waitlist. This seems like another sort of waitlist, and I’m glad they are offering spots for accepted students first.
