<p>Status of your application as of: October 29, 2009 .<br>
Please note: This is the most up-to-date information available to our staff.<br>
All of your required application materials have been received by the December 15 priority deadline. Thank you! Admission decisions are sent on a rolling basis. Some decisions are sent as early as December, with all students who submit complete applications by the priority deadline receiving their decisions by the end of February. We will complete a very careful, overall assessment of your application and your decision will be mailed no later than the end of February.</p>

Oh wow, why did you apply if you knew you wouldn’t attend?
It does get cold but you’ll be in Minneapolis at a great university.</p>
<p>
I didn’t pay the application fee either since I was mailed one of their fast application that included a fee waiver etc…and already made account, eventhough this is likely not significant I was estactic since I was already working on a current app. for the school.</p>
<p>It is very interesting that many applicants applying to U of Minnesota also applied to same level of schools such as U of Wisconsin, U of Pitt, Indiana University etc. and already got acceptance and even scholarship letters from those schools, while there is absolutely no decision news from U of Minnesota, probably until December (?)…</p>
<p>Because those schools have a much clearer picture of how strong their applicant pool will be while Minnesota is on such an upswing that they have no clue how selective they can be. Atleast it’s better than UFlorida which doesn’t notify anyone until Feb 12/13.</p>

Yeah seems like a decent number of us under Minnesota forum got that letter, do anyone know if it could help our chances at all with admission? Just curious since a acceptance from the school would be great. I doubt that it could be significant to get the invitation but just curious.</p>
<p>I’ve gotten a letter to apply pretty much every week since the beggining of August and am still getting them even though I applied around Sept 20th so no, i don’t think they mean anything at all.</p>
<p>Yes, my son is still getting recruiting letters even though he has already applied. It would win him over more to simply gave him an admission result, rather than to keep sending more recruiting letters.</p>
<p>That was more my point, tokenadult – the irritation of it, not thinking it meant anything.
I guess the marketing mailing list does not get cross checked by admissions!<br>
BTW – this was happening with the other schools D applied to as well but seems to have stopped.</p>
<p>Oh wow. I’ve only got a application mailed to me once ( with also the option of online application) etc… oh well it would just be great to get accepted.</p>
<p>If you live in Minnesota or Wisconsin you’ll probably get more mail than other states. if you live in the Twin Cities like me, you’ll get a crap load of mail.</p>
<p>–applied because I had gotten the fast application! So free app, and such. Also, I wanted to get familiar with the application process, but MN is really cold! I live in Iowa, and I hate the winters, I’m ready for a climate change.</p>
<p>No, I haven’t (yet?). I just visited there about 2 weeks ago, I liked it, but TOO BIG! I’m from a really small town, so I don’t want to feel like I’m going to get stomped over.</p>
<p>shay – Trust your instincts. Concentrate on smaller schools. There are lots of wonderful ones.
UMN is the biggest school my daughter applied to, and she might not go if accepted for that reason. Didn’t want to even apply to our state flagship – liked Minnesota because it’s in a city and because the College of Biological Sciences (if she gets in) feels like a slightly smaller school within the bigger one.</p>
<p>dbwes - yeah, the big school feel is really a big turn off! This college selection is just so stressful. I wish someone would just tell me where to go to school!</p>
