Losing Hope

@rollnrock2k18 ye I didnt see anything at all, not going to stay up late for the decision. Will check tomorrrow.

Nothing in the tracker or communications for me when I woke up this morning, bummed :frowning:

No change this morning. Maybe decisions will be input during the business day today

A person spoke to the admission said that the 24th Jan was a rumor, the correct information, they will post the last EA decision between now till end of January

Does anyone think they could still send out rejections? Maybe they saved them all for the end? I’m so nervous.

@rollnrock2k18 Realistically, yes. I am in the same boat, haven’t heard back yet, and nervous. It is a possibility b/c I have not seen anyone say they have been rejected, so they may be saving all/most for the end of the deadline. Someone said earlier that they could only be deferring and accepting in the first round, but the UMN FAQ’s disproved that theory. So, I assume rejections will be coming out soon. UMN is a reach for me anyway so I am assuming I’ll get rejected, but we’ll see.

@radkm19 thanks, best of luck to you and everyone!

I spoke to an admissions counselor last Friday about my D’s application status. She told me my D should hear back by next Wednesday. When I asked her how she was so sure my D would hear back by next Wednesday, she said it was not just my D but everyone. I asked her again if everyone will know by Wednesday, January 24th, she said yes.

Sorry for the false hope, but I just relayed what I heard. Don’t know why she would give incorrect info.

And coincidentally, my D’s app changed to one line within 2 hours from when I talked to her. Her MyU communication message at 9pm and the app changed to the full update after midnight.

I know it is difficult and frustrating, so sorry again for the incorrect information.

@cmd7131 May I know what was the message in the communication center like?

It will be something along the lines of “All of your materials are in” or “Your application is being very carefully considered”

@Joezzzzz message in communication center for my D said Admit Alternate,Waitlist Other.

welp - just got deferred… not the end of the world cause my gpa is .6 better this year than last, and this school is still my top choice (i’m gonna email the that too) good luck to all you guys:)

Got deferred too(which was kind of what I was expecting at this point.) Fingers crossed for good news and not too long a deferral.

I wa deferred last week as well. What does it say in your communication center? Mine says Strong Defer.

How do I get to the communication center?

@lillie00 my decision has only shown up in the tracker so far, no update in communications/official letter. do you know how long it took before your “strong defer” message came through?

@BuffetBoi536 go into your MyU account, click key links, on the left go to the student center, then click communications center and it will tell you if you have pending messages

@finnabme My message in the communication center displayed prior to the tracker changing. So Friday Jan 20 at 9:30pm the message in the communications center said ‘Strong defer’ and my tracker changed to defer at midnight. Then an email 3 days later telling me I have an update to my application.
