I’m a junior in high school, I want to apply to the U as soon as I can next year, but when is too early? I hope to get accepted into CSOM and if not CLA. I’ve heard of people getting decisions as soon as early October! When is a good window to apply? When did you apply? And if you have your stats for CSOM I’d love to see them to get an idea of my chances.
@sydneyumn You should apply as soon as the application window opens in late summer, 2016. I think it’s in September, maybe August. A quick call to Admissions will get you the date. My son’s experience was application submittal on the first day that UMN took applications and acceptance to CSE in October.
Stats for the recent freshman class, by college, can be found at http://admissions.tc.umn.edu/academics/profile.html
My son applied mid August and still has not heard back yet. Also if you look at threads from last year, there were students that applied in August and September and did not hear back until close to the deadline in Februrary. I think the timing of notification at UMN depends more on your credentials and to what school you applied (Business, Engineering, etc.) than it does on when you submit your application. From what I can tell, it seems that most of the students that have received an acceptance so far this year have very good credentials…and some of them did not submit their application until October.
I applied late October which is reasonable and got accepted after only 3 weeks
