Hi my d got deferred, anyone heard yet?
Nope, still waiting 
applied in October and received deferral mid-January
Same here, D still waiting. Do we know from past history if we actually have to wait until March 31st
I believe this is the first year that UMN has deferred people
Should we call admissions as a group and ask? :))
Got differed from CBS end of January and checked today and was in
OH MY WORD!!! Congratulations!!! Hoping my OOS D18 gets into CLA or CEHD, Congratulations on getting into one of the hardest schools! Miegh!!! My OOS D18 is considering switching to CFANS or even maybe CEHD for both! Opinions??? :))
It may be difficult to later transfer out of those schools and into others. So you may be best off going for the program of choice.
Is it difficult to transfer out of a college and into a different one? I heard it’s quite hard to transfer into Carlson and CBS, but what about CDES or CLA?
It’s easier to transfer into a less selective college from a more selective than vice versa. CLA in particular takes in a lot of transfer students so transferring in is easier than getting admitted as a first-year-in-college.
Okay, thanks, that is what I figured. I was deferred from CLA with CEHD as a backup, so if I am admitted to CEHD I plan on transferring to CLA or CEHD. Also, has anyone who applied CLA and was deferred get a decision yet? Or will we have to wait until the end of the month
@radkm19 what is your act/gpa?
Still waiting 3.5/4 unweighted. ACT 25. Long shot for CBS, CLA second choice. Older sibling current UMN student- not sure that helps
I got deferred 1.31 and check my application tracker find i’m In!
How are people who were already deferred get a reply but I applied regular decision and no reply yet
@Mclovin21 when did you apply? A lot of us who were defered had applied in Aug-Nov and were deferred in jan. By what it sounds like, they were waiting to see the competitiveness of the second pool to decide on the deferred students, thats probably why.
@jkirsy I applied late decemebr and no reply I’m pretty sure they should be giving out decisions to second batch regular decision before the already deferred students
@Mclovin21 I don’t think that’s the case. They hold the deferred students back to give them the RD decision. If there’s someone that was deferred (now RD) and their stats/EC’s are better, they’ll get accepted before normal (non deferred) RD candidates. Important to remember that the deferred candidates are not ranked lower than RD candidates- deferred candidates are now RD candidates.
I’m a bit late to the bandwagon but I was deferred by UMN TC in Jan. Major: Computer Science.
