The tracker changed to a short version yesterday, just “everything is in,” then this morning we saw the acceptance. S applied to Food Sci in CFANS, which is a pretty small major, so I think that’s why he heard so quickly. OOS (TN), 3.6/4.2, 27 ACT, 9 APs, a couple of non-academic type clubs. Financially, not sure if this will work, but I’m happy S has the option.
Actually, it’s the 4th, and probably last one. ISU, UNL, UT-K, and now UMN. Sooooo different from the process for my CS major S16 (Purdue), who applied to 10 schools and had to wait it out until Feb for all his decisions.
@s16s18s21s25@msr2017 Congratulations! The application tracker was a little wonky for us this morning, but when we finally got in, good news for my son as well.

My daughter was also accepted this morning to the College of Liberal Arts and Freshman Nursing Program. Her tracker changed yesterday to “all of your required application materials have been received by the deadline” and this morning it changed to accepted, so that must be the pattern this year.
