<p>Congrats to all of you!! GO GOPHERS!!</p>
<p>I am an International, so here is how it worked for me.
My status changed to very carefully considered on 30th November and today, 3rd Dec I got an email from them congratulating me on my acceptance and telling me that I would receive the acceptance package by mail soon. So HAPPY!! :-)</p>
<p>This is my first time posting on College Confidential. My son received his acceptance this week to the CLA and will be majoring in economics. He will be a freshman. Could anyone suggest a dorm that will be convenient and well situated? Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>If there is a good chance your son will be attending Minnesota, I would submit the housing application and $25.00 fee as soon as possible. Minnesota assigns housing based on the date you submit the housing application and fee. DS chose Frontier Hall as his first choice. It is where the engineering LLC is. It seems centrally located to everything. The Honors dorm is across the river and will require a walk over the bridge or shuttle bus. Students who lived there seems to like it.</p>
<p>So what’s the deal. D’s application was complete October 16th. </p>
<p>Nothing so far, nothing being carefully considered, nada? OOS, East Coast, full-pay. </p>
<p>Is this normal?</p>
<p>I would have thought this was an early rolling safety. It doesn’t look like anybody has even looked at it.</p>
<p>Classic, your D’s app was probably received during the peak time. I don’t know about last year, but the year before they received 32,000 apps for…what is it 5000 or 7000 spots.</p>
<p>My S applied 2 years ago in August and did not hear anything until late Nov/early Dec. And then we heard acceptance and honors back to back. We have all found admissions to be very receptive to phone calls (and very patient with concerned parents :p)</p>
<p>Rockerdad…does the application tracker show that all scores, transcripts, etc have been received? UM also requires college transcripts for dual enrollment courses.</p>
<p>Application and test scores Sept 2nd, all transcripts by October 16th.</p>
<p>Application tracker is the most complete and useful of any school’s, kudos for that!</p>

<p>Rockerdad - If your DD status hasn’t changed to carefully considered I would think it would change soon. My DS applied Nov 12th and his status just changed to the carefully considered today. Also we are OOS so I don’t think that’s it , perhaps the school she is looking at has more applicants and that is what is taking longer.</p>
<p>Still nothing. </p>
<p>She got into some other schools, so it’s less of a concern now. </p>
<p>We thought that this would be a rolling safety and that she would hear earlier and have a sense of stress relief that she’s going to college. Now it’s not a big deal. Whenever she hears, she’ll know, unless she gets into her ED in which case she’ll withdraw. </p>
<p>I guess it takes the admissions committee a long time to read through all of those essays.</p>
