Got waitlisted for Spring 2012 Transfer.. are you KIDDING ME???

<p>Firstly, I'm not trying to sound entitled or rude, I'm just fed up with how little sense the operations in the admissions office at the U have made ** BOTH ** times I've applied here.</p>

<p>I am transferring (or was going to) to the U from Indiana University. I'm a Minnesota resident and live in the Twin Cities, and my initial plan was to attend the U Fall Semester in the College of Continuing Education and then be admitted to CLA for Spring.</p>

<p>I applied ** EARLY. ** June 27th to be exact. They said they don't even start looking at Transfer apps for Spring until September. I figured applying early with my stats (basically just good enough to get in) would ensure my acceptance and leave me with less worries.</p>

<p>However, yesterday, I found out I was ** WAITLISTED and would get a decision on on by December 15th. ** Are you ******<strong><em>ing kidding? If they don't even start reviewing apps for Spring until September, I have a really hard time believing that it's already full and that they're already using a waitlist. Speaking of, I was * waitlisted ** when I applied in high school too, and come to think of it, I never even got a final decision. Are they going to pull that *</em></strong> again?</p>

<p>So I'm left hanging.. I'm registered for Fall 2011 classes at the U in the College on Cont. Ed. but quite honestly if I wait it out till 12-15 and don't get off the waitlist, I not only wasted time and money commuting to and attending the U Fall semester, but I'm also left with like 2 weeks to find a new school to attend in the Spring; and I'm well finished with generals so a community college is a bit counterintuitive.</p>

<p>Can someone give me some advice here? This is the epitome of frustrating.</p>

<p>That is very frustrating for you. Competition for the U of MN has increased. For non transfer students entering the U of MN this fall there were 37,000 applicants for 5800 spots. </p>

<p>The U of MN also has a distance learning program where you have some sort of interactive online class and only come it to take tests.</p>
