I canβt imagine what personal experience would associate the word redneck with Madison. Maybe if youβre thinking more of the state at large
Madison is described as 77 square miles surrounded by reality or something
So..
sorry for offending you and my awful take
what's your demographic
White male
It's not like Minneapolis
Not a urban
Metro region
City
I do
But umn has superblock
Whats ur top choice again
hey guys
@marble raft ig
did u get any scholarships?
and if so, do they come at the same time as decision
wait guys
umn yield is like
25%
thats lowkey kinda high no?
idk
Nvm not that high
Not yet
Any idea if they give scholarships to international students also (CS Major)
okay
isnt umn like a 80% acceptance rate school
makes it seem p high to m
Yeah right that's what I was saying
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 π
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 π
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
ah ok
Howβd they reject u π
My friend has a sub 3.5 gpa and a 1250 sat
And got in lol
Honor college Yield protection π
ππππ
oh damn u right

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.
please tell me you wrote that in your application

Congratulations!! π₯³
got in to Minnesota finally!
do you hear about scholarships right when you get your decision or
AYYY Congratulations!! π₯³
I got in to Minnesota a week ago but did not get notification about scholarship yet, so I guess it will come some time soon maybe in the next month??
It is definitely by March 31st, becuz that is what it says on their application tracker decision date
okkk cooll thanks
congrats!!!
oh did they explicitly say that out?
Yep based on this
Well it does not mention scholarship but seeing how early the decision came, there is no doubt it has to be by March 31 based on this
I am asking for scholarship
oh yes okay
But actually it may depend becuz they release the decisions rolling
So it can be different for us
HYPE CONGRATA
congratss so deservedddd
same and i also havent heard back
theyre probably gonna send closer to the dateπ
we got thisπ
they've started handing out rejections
even ASU has atp
getting p late for rolling apps
i hope umass hasnt started doing the same π
yeah i think they started sending those like two weeks ago but def heard a lot coming out today
yee
my job isnt motivation
its to feed off of peoples stress and agony
im like a succubus
idk stat wise i dont see why i would get rejected just dont know why theyre taking so long
j instead of sex its stress
my ecs and supps were pretty good too i think
maybe
because
they have applications to go through
ikk
tbf they got back to me in 4 days though
and i had a fye 1 on 1 w the West Coast UMN AO
biochem cbs first choice and put down cla for second pick
ah okay
who basically gave me all teh cheat codes(literally j to fill out the housing app on nov 1)
got a full ride to rochester and duluth but twin cities wont get back to meππ
they dont want you
Nah I know 4.0s with cracked extracurriculars who havenβt gotten into TC yet
OKAY sheesh?!??! duluth gave me like 6k a year
whats ur stats for a full ride dayum
yeah just stressed but not too worried tbh
nah u got this fr π
Itβs just random
test optional 3.78 uw 4.6 weighted, 500 plus volunteer hours, 4 year varsity, and a number of clubs
ahhhhh ty π
Next Monday is the last time they doing it
rolling apps suck ass
For EA1
yupyup
Just placed my $50 housing deposit π«‘
congrats!
I got deffered :/
I got deferred too
same
gonna call office of admissions tmr to change first choice college to claπ
bru
Dude they deferred me with a 1480 sat. Yield protection?
i heard they dont do that but i had 4.6 gpa with good ecs so idk what to think bro
Anyway they offered a fee waiver. The only reason I applied lol
as u shld
@distant grail is there an option to withdraw the app on the portal ?
im not seeing anything so mby ud have to email them or something
Why would you withdraw it!
@elder timber I wouldnt go even if I get in now. So if I withdraw there is a better chance for others to get in
dang so considerate
ill get in bc of u frfr
π
I mean it doesn't help in the slightest but still..... I remember praying for my friends to get into their ED schools
still respect!
Aww thank you for having this mindset it's the right way to think
Ohhh ok
im gonna change my top choice college to cla to widen my chances and also write a letter of comtinued interest
Hm ok, chances of getting a scholarship if I do get in?
seems kinda slim atp but hey if u have the stats i dont see why notπ€·ββοΈ
they give out scholarships until end of march anyways
nah cus theyre so fcking stingy with their scholarships
someone ik who got into columbia only got 750 a semester in scholarships from umnπ
they're not lol
i got 10k a year
before priv scholarships and aid
Bro rip me
I am changing my major to like mechanical engineering
Is that hard to get into? Than computer engineering
i hope you get inπ€
Thank you man, you too
hype asf
uhh i got in on the 17th of jan
and i got merit today
so like 2 weeksish?
how much?
10k/year!
its not max scholarship at all but its very nice of them π«Ά
enough to once again confuse my top choice as of now HAHA
i got 10k too
ayyy nice!!
did u get notified?
i just got a letter in the mail haha
i think u can see it in the umn fin aid portal
idk how to do that toh
@prisma tree
yeah where is the fin aid portal
nvm i didnt send my fafse
hopefully i get 15 dabloons
yeah they said they havent evaluated me cuz i havent sent in the fatso
but ty i appreciate it
fafsa omg im such a silly goose
i wish UMN gave me merit bc iβd love to have an excuse to go there
why has bro starred his own message
ππ
i have my ways
sometimes you gotta react to your own message to get the ball rolling
ikr
anyone k any current UMN students
ik a ton
my brothers a 2ndyr biomed major in cse
my friend is in cse
what's your other top choice(s)?
UMD is the main one
Congrats bro!
What can I do if I got deffered
you can probably send a letter of interest
How do I write that
most LOCI have the basic format of why you want to attend the school and updates of what youβve been up to
like what draws you to the university + tie that in with what you want to do. then update them with any academic achievements/ or personal accomplishments
Oh ok thank you!
'what draws you to the university' - what if I already talked about that in the why us essay
or do you mean in a different way
you mean the diversity essay? i would avoid repeating what youβve alr said but you can still highlight specific things like programs/ professors/ research
actually I forgot I was on the umn thread and was referring to a different college but this still answers my question, thanks
no prob!
Got my scholarship today. $5k/yr for NMF
And I pay in-state tuition so UMN is now my cheapest school
how would one go about establishing minnesota residency for tuition purposes
if say
they really would be willing to permanently move to avoid massive debt
Move with family and they have to get a job there
ic
You don't have to move to MN necessarily. WI, ND and SD (π), and Manitoba all get you in state tuition.
It may even be easier to get WI residency and then apply for reciprocity
Because there might be less scrutiny on why you/your family moved
But idk anything for sure
Fin aid out for which applicants rn?
iβm OOS and i got notified a couple weeks ago
hii cocould someone help me understand this better?
EA 2 is released
8000$ scholly per yaer
i think it means you can qualify for in-state tuition
oh yeah nvm
tuition waiver
But it says it's $1000 for each semester or smth?
idk I'm confused lol
so that'd be 2k per year right
yeah
alright thanks!
@floral mirage Did you apply for this specifically?
or automatic
Did you get financial aid?
automatic
okay
Congrats
why I am not getting any notificationπ everyone is getting automatic scholarships
congrats!
just an fyi that was for umn morris, not twin cities
aah, I didnt noticeπ₯Ή
but still
umntc is a good bit slower than the other campuses with money! dont stress haha, especially since we're getting our decisions later it might take some time
good luck bro!
Thanks!
merit based financial aid
how much? (if you're fine w it)
did they give the finaid notif yet
oh ok nvm then
Got 5k/yr from Minnesota. Not in state but I still get in state tuition. It was for NMF
congrats !!
Is this just Morris releasing fin aid notices, or Twin Cities? or both?
dang
all the umn schools are rolling with their scholarship notifications
and then also the fin aid package notices
i got into morris back in november and scholarship came within the month
but then twin cities i got in last month, scholarship came in like 2 weeks later
TY, gonna have the kids I know check their portals again - tho seems they should get email notifications if itβs happened/ing ?
for the non-tc campuses, youll see scholarship letters in the portal
i got my twin cities' 10k/year in the mail
literally framed that letter just cause i couldnt find any online letter / proof
if you check your myU for the fin aid you should be able to see the report
i did it for umn duluth and i saw it there after i got it in the mail
oh okay ty!
anyone know how to find out if u get into the honors?
I donβt have a decision or anything bruh
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
kudos to ur son!
Ooh πππ
TY
Hi
yo
yur
woah
the rd came out so early lol
@neat bane yes
slow mode
idk why it came out so early tbh
Not sure
If I applied to Carlson but got accepted into Liberal arts school what are the chances I can eventually get into Carlson? Also how would I go about contacting the school about it?
you might be better off posting this in the UMN subreddit @carmine silo
My guess is it's very doable if you are committed to it and meet the prerequisites with good grades
Does UMN do a "pre-business" track?
dont belive so
yeah
pretty sure its rolling
is umnβs cs prestigious? :0
Idk
is carlson prestigious?
Not prestigious per se but definitely a good b-school. It has that "decent state school" reputation like Wisconsin, Illinois, Georgia, etc
itβs good in the sense itβs not like you wonβt get quality education there but it shouldnβt your top choice. if you wanna do business carlson is a safety. you shud try other places before
i see
i got into gatech, kelley, purdue, and psu all for their business schools
whats the best from there?
my opinion kelley
schellar in gtech is good only cuz of gtechβs reputation. thatβs my opinion at least. id say carlson is better than scheller
ah i see
you can ask them
how about smeal and krannert?
krannert is purdue right?
Bro when is Minnesota comin
Itβs T30 but like itβs probably going to rise over the next few years
Is umn better than Rutgers or stony brook cs
Rutgers is debatable but Stony Brook yes
ya as a uni i think umn is now getting a lot more recognition. its a good uni
yeah
What's the cost difference between Kelley and your other options?
And what area of business do you want to work in?
@eternal drift
management, finance, business management im doing nearly everything lol
economics too
Gotcha
penn state is like 10k cheaper
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 π
Kelley has too much competition since it has the largest undergrad
It's definitely competitive because everyone and their mother at Kelley wants to do IB. Buuut, it has the connections to boot, so the good students will still be fine
Afaik
and purdue has the cheapest tuition i didnt get any of it
i didnt get my aid package yet
Purdue or GA tech would be especially good if you can get a CS/eng double major or minor
I think GA tech is the move
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
Itβs a world renowned Instituton especially for tech, so you can easily land jobs in tech
Even with a business degree
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
Is unc even that good for IB?
tbf yeah the name
Yeah it actually does okay
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 π
Wisco is pretty good
Except it's in my hometown π
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
I got rejected from wisco for csπ’
wait umn scholarships have come out? i didnt get any yet...damnnnnn i honestly thought they would give me cuz kelley gave
Idk this was a gold scholarship. 5k/yr for being NMF. I was accepted back in November and got this a couple weeks ago
So there may still be more to come
ya same i was accepted in november as well
hmm true
Ok so thereβs a March 1st (?) deadline for applying for some specific campus housingβ¦ 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 housingβprice, noise, location, etc ?
bro what is this aid they gave nothingπππ
My estimated award is 5k
Damn that sucks? Iβm an international and got like 20k merit every year
I didnβt get my aid yet
But under the estimated aid thing it says 5k
Ahh gotcha
Also Iβm not intl
So my prices are still expensive af because Iβm oos but not as high as yours
Yea, Iβm still prolly not gonna be able to afford it w/o loans ππ©
How did you apply for it.
i dont think you have to apply for it
okay
How do you check aid
I'm intl too but I didn't received any mail regarding merit scholarship yet... I emailed them n they said that "If you have been awarded one, you will be notified by the end of March."
They should have sent u an email
I didnβt apply for anything. I was surprised, actually
So UMNβs fin-aid offer should already include any merit money they might offer, yes?
Oh right,
Btw Congratulations!
godawful
siberians π literally
2 days off is all that mattersπ«
How have you all gotten responses
for scholarships or admission?
admission
oh is rd comming out already?
yep
its rolling
he applied like 2 hrs before me so
and his SAT score is 1440, mine is 1390
i got my admission on my portal
idts SAT will be the sole deciding factor. i applied EA and my SAT is lower than yours. i got in
Yup mine came in the second week of February
yeah it also depends on the major we choose
anyone get into the honors college?
Guys anybody knows when does minnesota send scholarships letters
Been 3 weeks now since they accepted me π
Same here
I emailed them n they said that they are in process of reviewing, its limited, and if awarded they will let us know by the end of march or before that.
Well we gotta wait then π
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?
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:
βYour space is guaranteed when you request University Honors Residential Community on your housing application by May 1β
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
im not sure but the general housing application deadline is may 1 while priority housing such llc placement is march 1. idk why theyre saying march 1 for priority besides llc preferences. mabye theyre just emphasizing that applying early gives u better chanceπ€·ββοΈπ€·ββοΈ
they do first come first serve for housing placements and they do it based off of when u payed the non-refndble housing app fee. they just want ur money basically lol
theres also a 200 housing guarantee fee after confirming enrollment and all that jazzπ₯²
I guess the wording is confusing all-around :/
Thanks for your insight
The way my kid read the honors email was βtheyβll have honors housing for you no matter what, as long as you request it no later than may 1st.β But thereβs no clear info on the honors side about the deposit. It seems like if theyβre gonna have honors housing set aside in any case, for honors kids, the deposit seems redundant? Ugh. π€·ββοΈ
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
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 itβs all fine π
Thanks again
Nothing like the last minute, haha π©
are Minnesota decisions for rd rolling or is it one date for everyone?
rolling
comes like a month later
i see
i got the national award through mail
i got 5k a year
wtf
university of minnesota just double called me
idk if it was actually them or not
That's either really good news or really bad news assuming you've already been accepted
i already got accepted
the number was 612-301-0070
Congrats π π
Did they not leave a voicemail? I got one to congratulate me for acceptance
Ye they did lol
I just checked
has anyone got rejected yet
Oo just got in
Major?
Neuroscience
ive gotten absolutely 0 communication from this school and its concerning
for an decision or aid?
did you get your umn address yet?
they communicate on a separate university specific email address
or are you talking ab a decision
decision
ahh call em up if anything
fuck
yea that just means they didnβt make a decision yet or they didnβt sent it out
yup i got nothing
i was deferred in jan- still no idea if theyβll accept me yet
what course did you apply under?
comp sci πΉπΉ
π€
if you dont mind me asking, do you wanna exchange stats?
just the hard numbers
dms sure
got in lets goo
Economics
bangerrr
Nice nice
Does UMN release all of its own scholarships at once, or do they each come in on their own, separately?
Should come with ur aid letter or ur letter of acceptance
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 donβt know if thatβs 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 got accepted in december and received my scholarship in february
I suppose it depends on which scholarships, or.. international? I dunno, we just got one in the actual mail this week. Wondering if thatβs it or if there might be others.
when did you get accepted?
December
Any intl here considering umn?
Yea here
DM?
Sure
heree
Do they give fin aid to intl? π
Or you mean scholarships?
us citizen living abroad xx
Oh makes sense
Sorry the aid wasn't what you thought it would be tho ...
yucky
So where are you considering?
umn until 30 mins ago π
π affordability is a bitch
where have u gotten in cookie
How about scholarships?
uofmn and depaul so far
waitlisted umn :/
Aw :(
brocken frfr π but imma email admissions and see how it goes
yess u got this glglπ€π€
Accepted after a deferral π₯Ήπ₯Ήπ₯Ή
π¦
Any scholarships you guys have gotten
when did you receive it? also whats ur residency?
i see
im intl and was waiting for mine
did you get an email or was it an update on the tracker
got it, thanks
!chance university of minnesota
Did you hear back? I got waitlisted too and sent an email yesterday hoping for the best.
not yet, probably next week or so.
Where is my UMN acceptance package π€¬π€¬π€¬
Hey
Any intl srudent received scholarships yet ?
hi guys, I finally got a status update (acceptance woohoo) but no finaid package notif, can anyone else who has been accepted tell me how long it takes to receive one after being accepted? and is it physical mail or online?
online
you will get one in ur email
telling you the steps and shit
thanks
Whatβs ur gpa and sat?
1410, 3.57 weighted
I got a fairly generic email telling me I already gave them all information they need and I will hear back on space available basis by mid June at the latest
Yeah but donβt people already have their college descisions made by may
Thatβs what I donβt understand about waitlisting
Like by the time they give their descision, people have already enrolled somewhere
In order to be βsafeβ 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
I see
Illinois
Wisconsin and North Dakota
Do they give you in state tiiition
For being in Illinois
I know they have some sort of program
Nope
Oof
Thatβs with Wisconsin I think
You apply to UUIC?
Illinois dropped out of that
Rejected
Oof
Which was unexpected, I have other options though, like Purdue
Fuckin sucks when thereβs not a good in state university in ur state that doesnβt have a fair acceptance rate
Ik itβs hard to get into that uni
Considering the fact they accept OOS people more easily than in state
Are you fine with OOS tuition?
Yes
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
Yeah I was a club President I guess, I had a good letter of rec because I helped out my APUSH teacher a bunch
Damn
I donβt do very many Presidential activities, Iβm just kinda there but the college doesnβt have to know that
True
Athletics?
None
Iβve done tennis for two years but itβs a fuck ton of work cause I gotta be there 4 hours everyday
I wouldβve loved to do tennis if it wasnβt that time sink
Looking forward to intramural stuff in college though
Did you get in anything else
A few other places, the ones I cared about where Michigan State and Denver University
lollll
Maybe umn isn't all that bad
if I have no notif about honors or new schollys (they announce additional school scholarships and private ones around now) by now should I just expect honors denial and no more mulla
has any intl gotten any scholarship?
I didn't
I think it's either released this Friday or never
It's so irritating like just give us the decision man it's not that deep
exactly!
I am waiting for the scholarship too
few intls did received it earlier this month
I got the scholarship yesterday so I'm lucky ππ
Anyone recieve any scholarship yet?
Thanks
Congrats!!!! How much did they offered you?
Thanks, 15k
That's great!!!
Not sure if I'll commit tho
I have Purdue which is similar in price so i still have to see
Purdue anyday if its for cs
Yeap it's cs
Well, accept Purdue already
u are not a college freshman
Inshallah will be soon
purdue academically is better for CS but
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
Hey did intl received thier scholarships?
I didnt
When did you receive ur acceptance letter ?
Feb 20th
Has anyone heard from the university honors program yet?
It says the decisions should come out today but I have not heard anything
cause i got a couple scholarships + natl merit totaling about 25k/yr but I have not heard from the honors program at all and now I'm a little concerned
