Hi! My son applied to U of MN -college of liberal arts mid October. Several of his friends have already been accepted to U of MN Colleges of Business, Science and Engineering, etc, but aside from history/poli sci majors no one has heard from CLA. Have any of you out there received an acceptance from CLA yet with a language or linguistics major?
My son is in the same situation, applied Oct 8 to CLA. Nothing yet except an offer to extend application to other U MN campuses. Is that a bad sign? His stats seem like he should get in to CLA at TC campus.
chardonMN, What did your son list as his major? My son has a 30ACT, 3.9 unweighted GPA with 5 AP classes by junior year, lots of activities, volunteer hours and two jobs. I don’t know if kids with higher ACTs are automatically accepted first and they just work their way down the line or how it works. I do know it is hard to wait when so many other students from the other colleges within U MN have been accepted already!
My son applied Sept. 27th to CLA and received his acceptance a week later. He is majoring in economics and did not have as high of a gpa as your son. Best of luck.
He listed Biology, Society and Environment as first choice major. ACT 30, GPA 3.6, school does not weight or rank. Rigorous schedule. He used the Gopher app so did not submit essay or recs. He since has sent those to other schools, so he could submit them, but it did not seem to ask for those.
We applied to biological sciences a couple weeks ago but have not heard anything. Last year my older son applied to CLA and received an acceptance just 10 days later.
We did get the email about applying to other campuses - did everyone get that?? I felt that wasn’t such a great sign lol
The “share your app” with other campuses thing goes out to everyone. They are just trying to promote the other schools. It doesn’t mean they won’t get in to UMN-TC.
We got the “Share your App” email two weeks after being accepted to CSE. They do that for everyone.
Son just receive his acceptance email today!! He applied on 10/27. He is OOS, but from a reciprocity state. His UW GPA is 4.00, 28 ACT, strong EC (Varsity letter winner in 3 sports, captain in two, 4 yr student council, Soph/Jr class president, NHS, board on two local charities…) He is looking at Econ as a major.
He also receive the share your app a couple of weeks ago.
S received acceptance today to CLA!
