When will I get my admissions decision back?

Just for clarification, I don’t believe that an essay is required for the regular application either. Minnesota was one of the easiest applications that my daughter filled out. The University of Iowa was very easy to fill out as well. Most of my daughter’s other applications required her to write 2 essays as part of the application, and for a few she had to get letters of recommendation as well. One of my daughters friends would not have applied to Minnesota if she had not received a Golden Gopher application. The university was not even on her radar until then. She ended up applying on a whim because the process was so easy. After getting accepted and getting a generous scholarship, she decided to go on a campus tour. She absolutely loved the school and is attending this year. The Golden Gopher application definitely fulfilled its purpose in the case of my daughter’s friend. I think it is an excellent marketing strategy that enables them to attract qualified applicants that may not have otherwise applied.
