I am an Indian student with a 1420 SAT score and a lot of ECs. I applied on the 10th of October and still have not received an admission decision. Is it normal for decisions to take so long?
@ar2031 - What is your uw GPA? Are you IS or OOS?
I live in India so we don’t have GPAs here.
Even if I did have bad GPAs won’t I get a rejection letter?
What sort of marks do you get? Do you have a class ranking? Is UMN familiar with your school and its marking system?
I get above average marks and yes a friend from my batch recently got in the Engineering college for Minnesota even though he applied after me. We don’t get class ranks.
Each admitting college will have a different schedule; however,”Above Average” marks may not be enough for a decision at this early date. Both Carlson and CSE are currently admitting only very high marks. Other applications will be deferred until closer to the decision deadline. You might check with your friend and see what his/her marks are because that’s a gauge for you to understand what’s required from your school. Good luck!
