University of Minnesota (UMN) Twin Cities (2024-2025)

[fair anchor]

I don’t

You have bad writing comprehension

Thinking you said something you didn’t

[young violet]

so was it june

[fair anchor]

No

[young violet]

there was no sat in april

[fair anchor]

In school

[young violet]

the fuck does that mean

[fair anchor]

State testing in IL

Requirement to graduate

[young violet]

no i feel like anyone could reasonably infer what i meant

also i never said it was terrible

i said it was mid

publics with goated engineering programs may be perceived as mid by genpop but employers know they're goated, good example of this is purdue, umn larps as this type of school but they have no aura with employers

like avg starting salary of 79k with fucking cs in the college of engineering is pathetic

💀

[spiral harness]

bro 80k is money..

[young violet]

thats ass starting salary for a college of engineering with cs included

for reference uiuc grainger has a starting salary of 93k

[spiral harness]

idk man that's probably just a UIUC thing

[faint comet]

touch grass

[young violet]

that would just reaffirm my opinion

my classmates would think im mid if i committed to umn

💀

[faint comet]

why does their opinion matter exactly?

they aint gonna be the ones hiring you

you’re never gonna talk to most of them again after graduation

[young violet]

actually nvm umn is goated

[spiral harness]

okay and?

[empty totem]

fr

[empty totem]

ok and

💀

bro needs classmates approval to go to a school

[young violet]

i said that to make the point that ppl in the real world also think umn is mid it's not an a2c thing

💀

act imma delete that ill get cooked

[empty totem]

ok bruh

[faint comet]

eww

fuck that

what happened to caring about your students

[young violet]

fuck illegals

[empty totem]

💀

[faint comet]

are you american

[young violet]

no lol

is this supposed to be some kind of gotcha

[faint comet]

so you are trying to come here then

[young violet]

i'm not trying to hop over the border wall

[faint comet]

as a non american

[young violet]

yeah that makes me hate illegals more

[faint comet]

why do you want to come here

[young violet]

i don't care if they want to come to america for the same reason they should do it legally

[faint comet]

can you answer why you want to come here though

this isnt supposed to be a gotcha

[young violet]

because i want to make 200k a year tc

🐐

[fair anchor]

What happened to not breaking the law

[young violet]

actually i dont like right wing policy much but getting rid of illegals is common sense and should be bipartisan

this gon be an insane yap i can feel it

😭

[fair anchor]

Isn’t it also not a controversial issue in other countries?

Even liberal/left wing countries

[faint comet]

they want to make money too, but most of them don’t have the resources or access to legal immigration. many of them are fleeing war or violence and want to go somewhere where they have opportunity. 99% of americans are the descendants of immigrants, why should we suddenly be so closed off towards people wanting to come here? if people could immigrate legally they would, it’s a much less terrifying experience. why should we not show empathy. the anti immigrant xenophobia that is present today is not new; people said the same stuff about immigrants in the 1870s. accused them of being violent or un american and blamed them for our problems while in reality they contributed so much. trump is exploiting that same fear to drive hatred today. our immigration system is broken, i agree, but rounding up people who have lived here for years who have children born here is going to make life worse for fucking everyone. i get your reasoning of “they are here illegally they deserve to go” but should we not show more humanity than that? this problem is bigger than that

that was mean to be a reply oops

[faint comet]

I believe we should follow the words of the plaque on the statue of liberty

“give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free”

because america is a nation of immigrants

who make this country actually great

[fair anchor]

There is a difference between immigration and illegal immigration

We can show empathy while still realizing illegal immigration is a crime

[faint comet]

and i dont think all illegal immigrants should be deported

they should be integrated into american society

and our immigration should be fixed

but i’m not hearing a lot from trump on actually making it easier to come here legally

the law ≠ morality

immigrants are not the source of america’s problems

they are the source of its strength

they are the reason why we are growing as other industrialized countries shrink

we have bigger problems

[slate tapir]

Then why even apply cu boulder

Huh
So is that why the straight up rejects me

[young violet]

CU boulder top 10 aero

Not doing aero but want to do aero research

[slate tapir]

Start kicking people out so schools are not so competitive

[cyan saddle]

bait used to be believable

[faint comet]

guh

[empty totem]

w

[sand tide]

m

[empty totem]

weee

🔥

[visual hull]

does anyone keep getting calls from this school?

[empty totem]

no

[acoustic gale]

anyone here going?

[empty totem]

still deciding

[acoustic gale]

u in state?

[empty totem]

no

cali

[acoustic gale]

I mean u have 56 acceptances I doubt Umn is near that top lol

What u considering?

[fair vale]

guys how do I withdraw my application? I don't see the option

[empty totem]

top 6

bro died

[empty totem]

no

too far

😭

i want to

[empty totem]

ok thanks nerd!!

[sand tide]

😭bro said thanks nerd

[empty totem]

yes

[faint comet]

me

[faint comet]

i liked it but idk how accurate my analysis is because the weather was actual hell

if this is still a top choice i ideally want to visit again before deciding

[short anchor]

I’d factor that in while analyzing it since most likely the campus will be the same when u go there

applied rd n havent gotten a decision yet but already striked out umn as a possibility cuz of the harsh winter (like i personally cant stand that kind of weather ik many can)

[fleet saffron]

i applied RD and haven't gotten a decision yet, is that a bad sign? :(

[empty totem]

no

[fleet saffron]

thanks for the quick answer, i heard about alotta people getting admitted well before the deadline and was worrying a bit

[empty totem]

its ok sigma

[fleet saffron]

obsessing over this is probably not good for my mental health lol

[short anchor]

havent gotten a decision either

I've heard rd is mostly released in march though

[empty totem]

huzzah

[cyan saddle]

Huzz?

[empty totem]

Huzz

[sand tide]

Huzz?

[short anchor]

Huzz?

[empty totem]

HUZZ?

[formal musk]

do they only admit by college

or did i get rejected from my specific major and into the college

[turbid quest]

Just got rejected feeling ✨sewerslidal✨

[spiral harness]

Probably admit by college

That's my guess

[short anchor]

Rd?

[formal musk]

yeah

[short anchor]

Anyone else got a rd decision?

R they released in waves?

[empty totem]

Hhhhhh

[sand tide]

what happens after u confirm ur enrolment

[fair anchor]

You are immediately transported onto campus

[sand tide]

ah i was tryna ask if and when we have to pay the deposits

is there a time period for that

mb i framed it wrong

[fair anchor]

I’m just joking lol

[cyan saddle]

Where do I check the financial aid offer btw

[spiral harness]

By may 1st

[spiral harness]

Did they send you an email

[cyan saddle]

ye

[spiral harness]

There should be directions in the email no?

[empty totem]

Me got scholarship

[cyan saddle]

how much

mine was 40k

[empty totem]

Same

10k/year

[cyan saddle]

Still too expensive 😔

50k a year

[empty totem]

Eh its better than 60k

[cyan saddle]

But it's like my 4th option

[cyan saddle]

Ig so

[empty totem]

whats ur 3rd 2nd and first🚐🚐🚐

[cyan saddle]

Minnesota isn't that bad because you have jobs and stuff

But it's cold 🥶🥶

[cyan saddle]

1st is UW

2nd is UW Madison

3rd is uf

Gotta wait on all of those but those are the big 3 rn

But UW Madison is so expensive too

Might be 3rd tbh

[empty totem]

nice

[empty totem]

yes

🔥

[cyan saddle]

I got my tuition covered by asu and Amazon hires a lot there so maybe I go there

Idk

[empty totem]

dawg

dont go to asu

😭

[cyan saddle]

I'm broke 😔

[empty totem]

o

[cyan saddle]

ASU would be cheaper than going in state somehow

[short anchor]

how long after acceptance did u get a notif for merit scholarships? Or does it come with the acceptance letter?

[cyan saddle]

it's been like 2 months lol

[short anchor]

damn

just got accepted rd, n i'm only considering umn if i get a good scholarship

[cyan saddle]

the scholarship is kinda meh rn but they may offer more

it's up to 15k a year i think

[short anchor]

Makes my decision easier then lol. Only considering unis that r less than 40k

[spiral harness]

it took a hot miunte

I got in on Dec 16th, got my national scholarship on the 24th of februray

[short anchor]

Damn 💀

Hopefully they release it earlier for rd

[cyan saddle]

yea i think umn is like 45k smth at best

[short anchor]

Probably yea

[short anchor]

ASU is actually a decent uni if u dont mind the party culture. I have a friend there n he’s thriving somehow (business major though)

[cyan saddle]

i mean it's probably as good as you want it to be

just gotta make the most of it

but like

arizona

phoenix too

[short anchor]

Yea

[short anchor]

Biggest con? Lol

[cyan saddle]

i mean

i'm not huge into parties

[empty totem]

😭

[spiral harness]

yeah idek it's wild

[empty totem]

💀

[fathom rover]

Probably weather 😂

[dull jolt]

[buoyant cloud]

That looks so good

[fathom rover]

I rlly like the library here

and poli sci

[fathom rover]

if I commit early do I get good housing?

like get to choose the better dorms

[faint comet]

if you think there is a good chance of you going you should fill out housing like. now.

bc it opened in like november

and it’s competitive

[fathom rover]

oh shit

I am just waiting for Purdue 😭

istg if I dont get a decision tmrv I will crash out, idec if its a rejection

@faint comet are u committed?

[faint comet]

i’m not putting my deposit down until i’ve had longer to think about it but pretty sure i’m going here

in the very unlikely circumstance i get into umich im going there

but otherwise yeah

[fathom rover]

yeah valid, I think I mma wait till 5th April

[fathom rover]

oh cool, are u mn instate?

[faint comet]

i’m going to an admitted student event so i’ll make my decision after that

no

[fathom rover]

when is it

[faint comet]

april 12th

i liked my visit and like the twin cities

• they gave me a scholarship

[fathom rover]

I hv heard postive things about umn other than the weather

[faint comet]

and great academics overall

[faint comet]

you see i like the cold :3

[fathom rover]

I dont mind it

it will be fun tbh

[faint comet]

my only issue is that gopher is a mid mascot

[fathom rover]

I rlly like their campus

[ornate basin]

crazy

[fathom rover]

the library is so cool

[faint comet]

i like that it’s a big college

with lots of research and opportunities

coming off of extenuating circumstances in hs that fucked my gpa a bit i was worried i would have to go to cc or somewhere like that but im happy to go here

[fathom rover]

awee man I am happy for u

which state r u from if u dont mind me asking

[faint comet]

new jersey

which does me no favors in college admissions

[fathom rover]

yeah fair

I only know of princeton and rutgers

for nj

[low sentinel]

Try being in California

[faint comet]

i got in to rutgers but it’s a lot closer than i would like

[low sentinel]

0 favors in ucs

[faint comet]

and princeton uh…

[fathom rover]

I got into rutgers nb too but I dont like the vibe

there

[faint comet]

valedictorian from my school is going to princeton though, shoutout her

[fathom rover]

ooo great

[low sentinel]

Wowie

[faint comet]

happy for her

a plus for umn is that nobody else from my school is going there

[fathom rover]

@low sentinel wbu?

are u also considering umn

?

[fathom rover]

Lot of ppl must be committed to rutgers probably

[low sentinel]

I’m still waiting on the rest of my decisions but

[low sentinel]

If nothing changes I’ll be going to unc

[fathom rover]

oh damn...thats a great school

gl on rest of ur decisions

[low sentinel]

Thank you!!

[low sentinel]

You too, if you have any

John Hopkins is out on Friday, and ivies next Friday

So far I’ve only heard back from one t20, which is Cornell, and I got deferred

https://tenor.com/view/spin-world-globe-mapping-details-gif-3270140137824791678

[spiral harness]

Woahhh

[short anchor]

Lol i did the same for umich except i didnt have a discount 💀
Dk wtf to do with it now

[spiral harness]

yeah idk

I'm definitely getting purdue drip when i visit in 2 weeks that's forsure

[turbid quest]

Has anyone here heard of an appealed rejection working? I need hope😭

[fathom rover]

for umn?

I am not sure but I think its quite rare but not impossible...depends on your major too

[honest bough]

I was going here then nebraska gave me money 💸

[cyan saddle]

I'll just go to community college

50k/yr is too much and none of my friends are going

[honest bough]

good choice

i went to nebraska cuz it was cheaper but still in the midwest

close to home!

[low sentinel]

🎊

[spare copper]

umn is sending me mail like crazy

they just mailed me congratulating me on getting into honors when i got in a few months ago and withdrew a week and a half ago 😭

[short anchor]

Fr

umn if u wanted us so badly u should have given big scholarships. Less than 40k coa = auto commit fr

[cyan saddle]

Fair

45k isn’t bad tho

For iOS

iOS

Oos

Apple trying to glaze themselves

[short anchor]

Purdue with 40k ✨

[cyan saddle]

Oh nice

I didn’t get purduzzy

[low sentinel]

purduzzy 💀

[cyan saddle]

Short for purduzzington university

[cyan saddle]

Where is thi btw? I'm gonna be touring there lol

[dull jolt]

if i'm not mistaken it's nashville coop, address is 856 SE Washington Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55414

it was like a 5 min walk from my hotel which was close to campus so it should be nearby-ish when ur touring

[cyan saddle]

tanks

[dull jolt]

did anyone else randomly get a scholarship from umn today 😭😭

they admitted me 6 months ago bro why are they still looking at my app

[cyan saddle]

How much was it for

[dull jolt]

40k

[faint comet]

are you going to be there tomorrow?

[cyan saddle]

Yeah

[cyan saddle]

Damn they want you bad

40k total or 40k/yr?

[cyan saddle]

I’m only here for a day though 😭

Wish I could stay here for a while to decide

[dull jolt]

40k total

but that's on top of 100k total i had before

so now 140k total 35k/yr

idk i'm lowkey kinda debating it

[faint comet]

samesies

[faint comet]

oh you havent officially committed to northwestern yet?

it would be silly if you ended up here with me

[cyan saddle]

👀 👀 👀 👀 👀

Damn they want you so bad

[cyan saddle]

Are you going on a self guided tour or do they have a college tour

[faint comet]

admitted student day

wait that’s saturday

not tomorrow

[cyan saddle]

Furina what major are you

[cyan saddle]

Are signups over or can I sign up

[faint comet]

probably full but you can check

[cyan saddle]

Yeah it’s full

Chat can you send me the vod of the admitted students day

[dull jolt]

i have because im pretty sure it's the best option but theoretically i could withdraw and just forfeit my deposit if umn ends up being like free or smth

[dull jolt]

chemical engineering

[cyan saddle]

How do I get UMN to want me this badly 😭

Should I negotiate

47k is a lot

[faint comet]

if you end up coming to umn let me know bc i still need a roommate

[eternal peak]

Yea was it the 3m scholarship

Bro apparently they only give it to 10 students per year 💀

[cyan saddle]

Aura.

[rancid river]

Dawg I wish

[dull jolt]

always worth trying

they won't punish you for it

[dull jolt]

wtf ☠️☠️

[cyan saddle]

@dull jolt you were right

That place has super good food

@faint comet if you can handle spice you should go

It’s kosher and halal too I think

[cyan saddle]

Since I’m here should I negotiate in person?

[faint comet]

what is it called

[cyan saddle]

Nashville coop

Also check out caribou coffee

Nice cafe to study and good drinks

Better prices than Starbucks

[faint comet]

oki

[dull jolt]

^^ and malcolm yards market if you have time

i got there pretty early and i liked the atmosphere

[dull jolt]

could be worth! my friends have only ever negotiated over phone/email but in person could potentially make it easier if they do walk-ins

[faint comet]

you can do that??

[cyan saddle]

Idk lol

Maybe if you have aura

[faint comet]

dawg im wearing sweatpants and a my chemical romance hoodie

[cyan saddle]

That’s aura

[faint comet]

the creature

[short anchor]

Omg wtf thats so cute

Ngl lowkey jealous of the cute mascot

[cyan saddle]

The mascot is goated

I can use my bucees merch as well

[rancid river]

Slightly regretting not choosing UMN

[spiral harness]

Purdue Pete is a cutie tho 😍😍

[short anchor]

Frfr

[spiral harness]

Frrr

I’m visiting Monday

Purdue that is

[faint comet]

i liked my visit

time to put my deposit down

this is gonna be my place

[faint comet]

however, being in the queer llc definitely makes it harder to find a roommate

[cyan saddle]

Niceee

I’m deciding between UMN and ucsb but I’ll probably go here

The campus and people are fairly poggers

[honest bough]

Would’ve went here but it’s too expensive but congrats to everyone that is going here!!!

[blissful aspen]

I’m willing to go into debt to go here ngl

[cyan saddle]

you have to go in debt to go to college anyways 😭

[honest bough]

Umn more than most

[faint comet]

if anyone else is going here you should add me on discord :3

[neat copper]

Why is everyone so obsessed with UMN ngl

Alot of people I know at my university are transferring there (4 peeps)

I got in as well for UMN (with honors under liberal arts department?) but I dont see the hype lol

[faint comet]

it’s a pretty fucking good college

amazing research opportunities, located right next to a city but also has a college campus feel, great career outcomes

and if you care about that, it’s ranked ~#50 in the country

which is nothing to laugh at

[neat copper]

Hmm okay

Ooo I didnt know that

[cyan saddle]

xD
