Admitted to second choice college?

Hi there,

So I applied to CSOM for fall 2020, but was accepted yesterday to CLA. I called admissions and spoke to two different people. The first person said that I am essentially waitlisted at CSOM, and my application will be reconsidered if room becomes available. The second person said that I’m actually still being considered for admission to Carlson, they just haven’t gotten to my application/admitted me yet. If it helps, I was initially deferred from UMN as a whole, but received my CLA acceptance yesterday. I was wondering if anyone could clear this up for me, as I’m hoping I still have a shot at being accepted to CSOM before the end of March.

Thanks so much!

Just a guess on my part , but I would assume your waitlisted for Carlson based on the fact you were originally deferred to UMINN , the good news is your in the school. I doubt you will hear anything before the end of the month.

I would accept CLA even if you don’t get into CSOM. My daughter did the same thing a year ago and applied for transfer from CLA to CSOM and just found yesterday that she was admitted to Carlson. I understand Carlson is harder to get into but it can happen internally via transfer as well. She had minimal credentials but great work experience(s) - internships.
