<p>How is the program? Does anyone have any insights? Do people generally get jobs right away after graduation?</p>
<p>I personally don’t know how the MIS program compares nationally, but it is safe to assume that if it is in Carlson it is a solid program. I have a friend involved heavily in the MIS Club and everything they do sounds cool. For example, a bunch of free swag from Microsoft and new release xbox games. Things like that.</p>
<p>Carlson overall has a very good job placement rate. Spring '09 grads (not during low point of the recession) something around 88% were placed within 3 months of graduation. The job placement rate was close to 95% in the years previous.</p>
<p>Ya there in top 10 for undergrad MIS according to USNews

<p>Is it hard to get into this program (the business school in general), specifically for out of state? </p>
<p>Are the dorms there new, decent, or old? </p>
<p>What about ethnicity? Is there a lot of diversity here? According to cappex, there’s no information on it. Are Asians the minority?</p>
<p>You get into the MIS program when you declare your major as such in Carlson. Carlson is Freshman admitting. The average incoming Freshman in CSOM has a 29 on their ACT and right around the 90th percentile in their graduating class (check the University of Minnesota’s admission website for specifics).</p>
<p>The dorms at the U are all fairly nice. 2 Res. Halls have had new additions within the last 15 years. All are in good shape. There’s a mix of old and new. Take a campus tour for visuals.</p>
<p>I don’t recall the detailed ethnicity percentages. But, most students are Caucasian. Most of the minority students are Asian (mostly international students I believe). Also check the University’s website for specifics.</p>
<p>A carlson sophomore here.</p>
<p>The MIS program is top notch, definitely the high light of carlson.<br>
no specific admission into that program, you can just declare that as a major and if you don’t like it switch.</p>
<p>Dorms are different depending on where you live. Middlebrook is nice, almost private bathrooms, good food and on the west bank where B school is. </p>
<p>the rest are a mix of old and new. Sanford is being renovated right now. </p>
<p>Not all that hard to get into carlson. i’m from out of state, had like 3.6 GPA, and a 31 act. Minnesota was not very high on my list, but i’m glad i came here.</p>
<p>a lot of asians here, a good mix of korean, japanese and chinese…myself included. but like a previous poster said, a lot of international students overall. </p>
<p>hope that helps</p>
<p>How generious are they with their FA? What about scholarships?</p>
<p>I’m asian too and I want to apply for fall 2011 for MIS as well. Im currently in a Community College in California, but im a intl student over there. </p>
<p>I know this school is very famous for its MIS program, so i think it might be a lil bit challenging to get into this program more than the other majors.</p>
<p>It doesnt require recommendation letter and essays, so i think its based on your grades and maybe EC activities.</p>
<p>I have my current GPA of 3.65 and I dont know if it is good enough to be admitted in this program in here. Ill be applying a round a month from now, I hopefully get accepted.</p>
<p>I have another issue to, im in Sillicon valley, California which is the tech city in the USA, so this is a great place to get a job for MIS students. I will apply to SJSU as well. What is more important the networking that sjsu has with sillicon valley or the reknown MIS program in Uni of Minnesota - Twin cities?</p>
