maybe just my personal experience

potent cradle
#

I can’t imagine what personal experience would associate the word redneck with Madison. Maybe if you’re thinking more of the state at large

#

Madison is described as 77 square miles surrounded by reality or something

#

So..

untold wadi
#

sorry for offending you and my awful take

potent cradle
#

Lmao

#

All good

untold wadi
#

what's your demographic

potent cradle
#

White male

untold wadi
#

#

reef tundra
#

It's not like Minneapolis

#

Not a urban

#

Metro region

#

City

#

I do

#

But umn has superblock

untold wadi
reef tundra
#

twilit moth
#

hey guys

#

@marble raft ig

#

#

and if so, do they come at the same time as decision

twilit moth
#

wait guys

#

umn yield is like

#

25%

#

thats lowkey kinda high no?

#

idk

#

Nvm not that high

marble raft
warped olive
twilit moth
#

No idea

#

Honestly it's less likely

#

But do your research

warped olive
#

okay

prisma tree
#

makes it seem p high to m

twilit moth
#

Yeah right that's what I was saying

twilit moth
#

yo damn thats low?

#

like ofc not super competitive by any means

#

but i didnt know it was thatlow

#

@empty mirage source?

#

WOW

#

WHAT THATS HIGH

#

im thinking about this

#

and theres a good chance i couldve been rejected

#

damn

#

yep yep

#

wow 3.99 75%

#

wait holy fuck

#

my gpa doesnt even meet the 25th

#

omg

#

this is such a confidence booster for me rn asdfghjhgfds

#

nah i got in alr haha

#

thats why its such a confidence boost

#

got in yesterday actually haha

#

yep!

#

hope i get some scholarship money because

#

if my best two options are asu and umn, then i dont wanna take asu just cause its cheaper

#

apparently ppl have gotten money alr

#

like ram

#

i did

#

rejected EA

#

nah why? it was liek that last year as well

#

where they rolled money out over time

#

by

#

the end of March

#

yeah

#

yep :))

#

praying mann

#

im currently submitting the beefiest appeal to ASU barrett

#

im salty they rejected me

#

they were so fucking random

#

like i half get that i got rejected

#

but so many overqualified mfs got rejected from ASU barrett

#

yes

#

my essay was dogshit πŸ’€

#

yeah thats what im doing rn

#

i would love to have asu barrett vs umn

#

as my final decision

#

as opposed to just as vs umn

#

bro i have a 3.67 uw

#

i doubt

#

there is a very high chance ill end up at ASU

#

i know they rejected some 4.0/4.5 kids

#

somehow

#

so thats prolly yield protection

#

i think i got rejected due to incompetence protection

#

my essay was okay, not great

#

idk

#

you got in?

#

or RD

#

ah nice

#

gl!

#

yep makes sense man

#

you prolly got this fs

#

my appeal is so fucking beefy i hope they read it through

#

and feel bad for what they did to me

#

but honestly, like getting rejected was a good thing because my RD essays came out amazing as a result πŸ’€

#

me personally?

#

asu half-ride barrett

#

oh

#

what are your career goals

#

are you dead set on like SWE or something

#

what

#

no but im asking u

#

ah ok

#

then honestly ASU would be cheaper and it has pretty damn good CS connections

#

but thats just me honestly

#

if i get a scholarship from UMN then i would go there tbh

#

i love umn

#

LOL

#

over ASU CS and Purdue DS

#

yeah thats my worry a little bit also but we'll see

#

also wait alibi

#

you got hella schools left

#

im sure

#

if u got into purdue ds you can prolly get into some other W schools

#

nah man it was super competitive this year

#

dont sweat it

#

you took a W, even if it was for backup major

#

at least you didnt get deferred CS

#

thats just a delayed action rejection

#

LOL

twilit moth
#

Oh University of Minnesota, my heart sings,
With your Twin Cities campus, a joy it brings.
Your halls and classrooms, a haven for learning,
With knowledge and discovery, my spirit is yearning.

Your Gophers, fierce and proud,
On the field, they make us loud.
From the Northrop to the Weisman,
Your beauty and culture, a true sensation.

I long to walk your paths,
To be a part of your aftermaths.
With a scholarship, my dream can come true,
To attend the U of M, my heart belongs to you.

So please, dear University, hear my plea,
Grant me a scholarship, and set me free,
To learn and grow, and be a part,
Of the Gopher family, in my heart.

Got my scholarship today. $5k/yr for NMF

#

And I pay in-state tuition so UMN is now my cheapest school

how would one go about establishing minnesota residency for tuition purposes

they really would be willing to permanently move to avoid massive debt

At least thats for ga

#

Diff for every state

potent cradle
#

You don't have to move to MN necessarily. WI, ND and SD (πŸ’€), and Manitoba all get you in state tuition.

#

It may even be easier to get WI residency and then apply for reciprocity

#

Because there might be less scrutiny on why you/your family moved

#

But idk anything for sure

My son was accepted into UMN-TC in general, but also got a separate email saying "welcome to the honors program", tho he didn't apply to honors specifically, so I don't know if he's supposed to confirm or anything... (if anyone knows, I'd love to know so I can make sure he knows)

yeah there is no application to the honors program

they look through all the applicants and choose tthe best

Does UMN do a "pre-business" track?

is umn’s cs prestigious? :0

is carlson prestigious?

potent cradle

#

it’s good in the sense it’s not like you won’t get quality education there but it shouldn’t your top choice. if you wanna do business carlson is a safety. you shud try other places before

eternal drift
#

i see

#

i got into gatech, kelley, purdue, and psu all for their business schools

#

whats the best from there?

zenith olive
#

my opinion kelley

eternal drift
#

im not going to kelley haha

#

i got no money from there

zenith olive
#

schellar in gtech is good only cuz of gtech’s reputation. that’s my opinion at least. id say carlson is better than scheller

What's the cost difference between Kelley and your other options?

#

And what area of business do you want to work in?

#

@eternal drift

eternal drift
#

economics too

potent cradle
#

Gotcha

eternal drift
potent cradle
#

Kelley is great but not worth the extra 40k probably unless you want to do IB

#

Honestly all the top state schools are quite good for business

#

Even OSU πŸ’€

neat bane
#

Kelley has too much competition since it has the largest undergrad

potent cradle
#

Afaik

eternal drift
#

and purdue has the cheapest tuition i didnt get any of it

#

i didnt get my aid package yet

potent cradle
#

Purdue or GA tech would be especially good if you can get a CS/eng double major or minor

neat bane
#

I think GA tech is the move

potent cradle
#

Scheller is alright but not better than the other b schools

#

But if you want to work in tech it probably is the right choice

neat bane
#

It’s a world renowned Instituton especially for tech, so you can easily land jobs in tech

#

Even with a business degree

potent cradle
#

Bc even if you're not a CS major, tech still has the recruiting and advising

#

As well as the alumni

#

But it's not gonna place super well in IB

#

So it kinda depends on what your career goals are

#

I'm kinda torn between UNC and GA tech rn

neat bane
#

Is unc even that good for IB?

eternal drift
#

tbf yeah the name

potent cradle
#

It has a pretty good east coast network

#

Not a lot of on campus recruiting but the people who are serious about it can definitely get into NYC IB

#

I get in state at Carlson and Wisco though

#

And Carlson gave me a scholarship too. So it's quite cheap

#

But idk if I can take 4 more years of shitty Midwest weather

#

Unless it's Northwestern πŸ’œ

neat bane
potent cradle
#

And they didn't even admit me to the business school which is really unbelievable

#

I got "pre-business" which is just the most amateur sounding track

#

Even though I'm literally taking all the business prereqs as APs this year

#

And I have enough credit to start as a junior

#

Bc my CC credit will transfer to wisco

Ok so there’s a March 1st (?) deadline for applying for some specific campus housing… but honors housing is yet another type with its own later deadline? Wanna say May 1st? Do I have that right? Anyone know pros/cons of the honors housingβ€”price, noise, location, etc ?

My estimated award is 5k

But under the estimated aid thing it says 5k

Also I’m not intl

# dawn ingot anyone get into the honors college?

yes, but they offered no merit aid at all in the recent finaid offer, so who knows if my kid even ends up there. is merit aid still coming, post-finaid-offer? Seems weird to recognize a kid for honors but not offer any merit aid all imo

#

I have seen ppl say "scholarship letters in march", but is that separate from the finaid offer (if one could even call it that) we already got?

onyx trout
#

Still not at all clear on whether honors housing needs to be applied for NOW along with other priority housing, or if it can wait until May 1st with the honors app. The email reads like:

#

β€œYour space is guaranteed when you request University Honors Residential Community on your housing application by May 1”

#

tho nothing in housing website addresses this, and keeps saying March 1st for preferred housing

#

(honors housing is in Middlebrook, fwiw)

#

so I'm unclear about the deposit. non-refundable, is why, and, well, $50 is $50

distant grail
distant grail
#

theres also a 200 housing guarantee fee after confirming enrollment and all that jazzπŸ₯²

onyx trout
#

I guess the wording is confusing all-around :/

#

Thanks for your insight

#

The way my kid read the honors email was β€œthey’ll have honors housing for you no matter what, as long as you request it no later than may 1st.” But there’s no clear info on the honors side about the deposit. It seems like if they’re gonna have honors housing set aside in any case, for honors kids, the deposit seems redundant? Ugh. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

distant grail
#

yeah totally. i wouldnt understand why a housing application would be needed for honors students besides roommate choice

#

mabye give them a call to confirm

onyx trout
#

Deadline for deposit is today, hopefully there some wiggle room if necessary - gonna have kiddo make a call or email I guess , tho he still thinks it’s all fine 🎠

Thanks again

Does UMN release all of its own scholarships at once, or do they each come in on their own, separately?

eternal drift
onyx trout
#

Got accepted back in Dec, fin aid ltr was a month or so ago. I am under the impression UMN gets their scholarships out in March, but I don’t know if that’s rolling as they come in or if they get them all sorted and then do a single mailing β€” esp. to recipients who might get more than one.

I suppose it depends on which scholarships, or.. international? I dunno, we just got one in the actual mail this week. Wondering if that’s it or if there might be others.

Yeah but don’t people already have their college descisions made by may

#

That’s what I don’t understand about waitlisting

#

Like by the time they give their descision, people have already enrolled somewhere

mild hound
#

In order to be β€œsafe” I would have to put a deposit down on another college

#

If I wanted to go to Minnesota and I was accepted after May 1st I just lose that deposit

Which was unexpected, I have other options though, like Purdue

Fuckin sucks when there’s not a good in state university in ur state that doesn’t have a fair acceptance rate

Considering the fact they accept OOS people more easily than in state

glass tapir

#

Yes

glass tapir
#

In that case then, Purdue is good

#

@mild hound your SAT is really good tho

#

Did you do any extra curriculars

#

Or like anything else to spice up the application

mild hound
#

Yeah I was a club President I guess, I had a good letter of rec because I helped out my APUSH teacher a bunch

mild hound
#

I don’t do very many Presidential activities, I’m just kinda there but the college doesn’t have to know that

None

UMN is a more well rounded school

better social life & W/L balance, better location, better housing, strong in non-eng too

Those are considerations too for sure

100%

the key thing I can say is I have a friend who did a CS with a cyber minor and did a +1 for his masters at umn

he didnt have classes on friday ever nor did his workload spill over into fri-sun

#

he works swe rn while getting his mscs and still has pretty good balance

might not matter to you but for me that level of flexibility and workload balance is p importnat
