Hi! I’m a sophomore this year and desperately hoping to spending my next two years at the University of Minnesota through PSEO. Currently, I’m a bit nervous about my odds due to the U’s selectiveness. Maybe I could get some insight?
I attend a highly rated high school that generally pushes us to take all of the accelerated and AP options available. I have two APs, the only ones offered to me at this time, and 3 honors courses, also the only ones offered at this time. Additionally, I took an accelerated summer course in order to jump up a year in Math. My unweighted GPA is a perfect 4.0 and although I have no standardized test scores to show off, connections at the University have told me they don’t really factor into the admission decision.
If anyone has children who have gotten into the University through PSEO or even themselves have done it, I’d be incredibly grateful for some insight!
