Not much activity on the University of MN forum so got this started. D17’s application tracker says the following:
“Please note: This is the most up-to-date information available to our staff.
All of your required application materials have been received by the priority deadline. Thank you! Admission decisions are sent on a rolling basis beginning in October. All students who submit complete applications by the November 1st priority deadline will receive their admission decisions on this website by January 31st.”
So acceptances could come out as early as October which is a similar timeframe to the past couple years.
For those posting acceptances feel free to include any pertinent info. to help others during this admissions cycle. D17 was accepted today as well so here goes for her:
