My daughter applied on October 31st to University of Minnesota Twin Cities, and she has still not heard back.
She has a 32 ACT, top 3% in her class; Multiple AP/Honors courses. Unweighted 4.0 GPA and Weighted GPA of 4.6.
Any thoughts?
Which colleges of entry did she specify for first and 2nd choice?
Edit to ^^ Does her tracker show that everything was submitted by the first deadline?
Yes, everything was in by October 31st. She called and they verified too. She applied to CALS.
Sorry, CFANS was her first choice.
Her stats suggest she could be invited to Honors for CFANS. Not sure what the holdup is. Given her strong stats, perhaps she can call them and see about when a decision is forthcoming. Perhaps they are focusing on one college at a time right now.
Thank you! I really appreciate your fast response.
I will let you know when we know 
Out of curiosity, did she apply using common app? There seem to be quite a few students who applied via the common app who are still awaiting decisions. Not sure if there is any connection. It’s certainly worth a question if calling them.
Yes she applied with Common App. But I’m wondering if the delay is because she also applied through the UMTC website too. It was her first application and she wanted to make sure an app was definitely submitted.
so you mean she submitted two applications?
If she applied twice, during our visit, they stated that if you use two applications, your application gts delayed. But anyway even if thats the case, modt of us who are still waiting did mot submit two apps, so im not sure what’s going on
Yes, two applications were submitted. Just want to know!
Hmm. You might want to call about that as well. Especially if there is any minuscule difference between the two apps. in terms of information received. That’s the kind of thing that can slow down a decision because they have to examine both apps to make sure it’s really the same person. If she’s received a UMN ID # and can access the application tracker she’s probably ok - and they should expect that some kids are going to accidentally send in two versions.
I called admissions, and they told me that her two applications are not a problem. All info was in by the appropriate deadline, and we will hear by Jan 31st…
Still have not heard back…I guess I just have to have faith that she will be evaluated soon. Application date was October 31st, and the tracker says all required app materials have been received…
@Hiastan , any updates? None yet for my D.
My tracker was updated today so you guys might want to check too.
What did your application status change to John?
It changed to one line “All of your materials are in, thanks!”, meaning I will find out tonight at 12:00.
