Hey guys, I am now an international junior student majoring in music performance from the CCM, University of Cincinnati. I decided to steer my wheel for engineering last year due to a medical reason. I really want to go to UMN CSE since it has a very good mechanical engineering program and is relatively affordable for my parents at the same time. My Stats are as follows:
- credits completed (as of now): 79
- credits of technical courses (as of now): 27
- w overall GPA: 3.86 / 4.0
- w technical GPA: 3.98 / 4.0
- All prerequisite courses for M.E. program completed with an additional upper-division course (Multivariable Calculus). Courses in progress are Linear Algebra and Differential Equations (6 credits).
- 6 semester of Dean's List and a quite a lot of ECs in the music field including numerous performances each year since 2009, including 7 years of music service in the church, solo and orchestra performances, competitions, etc.
I just joined the College Confidential yesterday and I saw that UMN CSE has quite a low acceptance rate of around 20%, which truly freaks me out and makes me a little nervous. Could someone tell me my chances of being admitted? I appreciate a lot!
Also, I submitted the transcript from the college, where I took a summer course (Calculus I), on 01/14. I asked UMN admission office a few days later and they told me to wait for 7-10 days. However, so far I haven’t seen it listed as received item on my App Tracker. Does anyone have the same experience as I do? What would you suggest me to do?
Thank you everyone for reading this long thread and thank you for helping!
