What does the golden gopher app consist of? I recently received one in the mail but I am a junior so it is too early to apply.
Essentially it’s the same application from what I understood just with no mandatory essay. When I filed mine it asked me what special circumstances should be taken into account and another optional question about awards and honors.
Just to clarify, the UMN application asks these questions and doesn’t require an essay regardless of whether it’s GG. GG is a nice touch but it’s primarily a marketing thing. If you are OOS you will be invited to apply w/o paying a fee but anyone OOS can do that as well simply by calling Admissions.
@Sydneyumn they must have your name on their mailing list but seem to have mixed up your year. You should call them and ask to resend in July or Aug. of 2016 when you are ready to apply.
