Query regarding application update

I applied to University of Minnesota Twin Cities on 15th November. I’ve been reviewing my application status ever since and my Application Selector has always been the same until today. Now, it says ‘Update Available!’, however when I choose my application for Twin Cities, there is no update.

Should I just wait? Or should I email them? What exactly should I be expecting now?

Thank you.

Wait. That’s what we saw a couple of days before there was a decision. For some reason it seems to say “update available” before it’s actually there.

Huh, I think they just sent out a bunch at the same time. I got mine around 8ish AM today.

That’s what happened just now to my son, too. I called and they said it’s likely a decision is close to being made or has been made. The woman I spoke to said to give it a week (!!!) to update to a full decision. Good grief. This is brutal!

@myrna97 What was your admission decision - if you are comfortable sharing? And do remember how long it was until your actual decision was posted?

@ie2020 It was my son, and he was admitted! The “update” message showed up on a Tuesday or Wednesday, I think, and then midnight Friday night the decision was posted. So I’d say keep checking once a day or so and expect to hear this week, would be my best guess. Good luck!

Where on the tracker does it say “Update Available”, first page or second page? My son is still waiting.

I got the same thing. @drjdillon it is on the page that pops up immediately after signing in.

@drjdillon It’s on the part of the line on the first page that used to say “application complete”. Now it says “you have an update!” only there is no update.

actually guys, i just got an email with my decision notification!

@hopetc Congratulations!!! What college and what major did you list? I’m so happy for you!

@ie2020 CLA for Linguistics major

@hopetc Can I ask what your stats were? My son was just deferred from the same program. Not what he was hoping for!

Did you click on the application? When my son’s said that there was a “view update” link to a letter above the application info on the second page.

Yes. Unfortunately still nothing.

@ie2020 Yeah! I am in-state, I go to one of the more prestigious private schools in the TC area,
3.75 gpa uw with pretty much the hardest classes my school offers
30 ACT
a lot of really in-depth ECs (student body president, Captain of a few clubs, 100s of service hours etc).
