Got Waitlisted

<p>OMGGG just checked my application tracker, and I GOT INNNNNNN YESSSSS!!! AHHH</p>

<p>ixycartx3 - Congrats!!! You are going to have a wonderful experience at U of MN</p>

<p>My S is a first year applicant and he is on the waiting list for both the CSE and CLA. First they told him that he would be updated on April 15. Then they said that they would give him a decision by June 15. He had a difficult junior year but he is doing quite well in his senior year and he has kept them up to date about his grades and activities. Is it a hopeless case at this point or should he still hope for the best? Is it true that they may respond as late as the first day of school? That seems so unfair.</p>

<p>If you can afford to risk the $25 non refundable fee, I would sign him up for a dorm. Specific dorm selections are first come, first serve.</p>

<p>There are still kids making their final choices and some of them and others have not alerted the UMN that they would NOT be attending. </p>

<p>It is very unsettling to watch your child go through the waiting process. Sending good thoughts his way!</p>

<p>Thanks Kajon. Positive thoughts are alway welcome. We did pay the $25 housing deposit but unfortunately when you are waitlisted they don’t let you go on to make your residence hall selection. Also, now that the May 1 deadline for admitted students has passed shouldn’t they have a clearer idea of how many student are enrolling?</p>

<p>I was put on the waitlist as well.And haven’t received a final decision yet.The waiting is tough!</p>

<p>I just called the admission office,they said it’s likely that very few students will get off the wl</p>
