<p>I am really interested in a Geography major and I think that the university of Minnesota is ranked #2 or #3. However is it worth it for me to apply there as an out of state student?
Also does anyone know anything about the geography program?</p>
<p>My Stats:
ACT-31
GPA-4.2 Weighted 3.9 Unweighted</p>
<p>i had a 31 ACT and a 4.5 weighted and i got a full out of state tuition waiver. i would assume you would get the same, at worst you would get the half out of state tuition waiver. definitely worth applying.</p>
<p>would it be to late to still apply??..i saw somewhere that the priority deadline was December 15
would i still qualify for the tuition waiver if i applied now?</p>
<p>RAL2274…According to U of Minn’s website:</p>
<p>“Priority scholarship consideration is given to admitted students who complete the admission application by the December 15 priority application deadline. Those who apply after that date will be considered on a funds-available basis, though it is unlikely that funds will be available at that time. Students receiving scholarships will be notified by the end of March of their senior year.”</p>
<p>I don’t think it’s necessarily a lost cause to apply now, it’s just less likely that scholarship funds will be available. The OOS tuition waiver scholarships are based upon your class rank (usually top 5% for Gold National and top 10% for Maroon National) so if your GPA puts you in or near that rank I’d say go ahead and apply. Good Luck!!</p>
