The e-mail they sent me and some info that LIS has given over in some other threads has convinced me to move to the land of snow and enchantment. lol.
What email?
I e-mailed them some questions and they e-mailed me back
Well that's lame. Lol. I like to plan this stuff, Minnesota!
I'm a first time applicant to the U of M. I'm a current Biomedical Science Master's student at Iowa State. I applied to ISU, U of M, and the University of Wisconsin, and I my first choice is honestly is the U of M. I feel that they're the most professional and helpful of the 3 that I applied to. Plus, I'm a South Dakota resident, so I get reciprocity in Minnesota. Ahhhh, I'm nervous.
Don't base your decision on the faculty you talk with about admissions, they will not be the ones teaching you. Base your decision on finances.
I agree with everything else you said, but the above quoted material is incorrect. All of the faculty I talked to prior to admission at UMN were definitely the faculty that taught.
I loved UMN, but I mostly agree. I wouldn't say that finances should be the sole factor by any stretch, but they should be the largest weighted factor. It's only four years, and there's not enough significance attached to where you went to school, whereas finances will follow you long after. UMN needs to get a grip on their tuition. I recognize that it is a VERY difficult challenge for the school - there is only so much the individual college (within the greater university) can do - but they need to put every last little ounce of effort they can into dealing with their tuition problems.
"Complete applications will be reviewed starting in September through December. You will receive an e-mail with an application status update in early January. Application status updates are unavailable prior to January. The e-mail will inform you if you are eligible for an interview, or if your application is no longer under consideration. Interviews will take place in late January and early February 2016. Offers of admission will be sent shortly after all interviews are complete, around mid-February. Applicants offered admission have until April 15, 2016, to accept or decline admission."
Email from them after my application was verified
So interviews won't be offered until January if I'm understanding correctly? So long to wait....
Do they require fall transcripts at Minnesota? I saw someone on another board saying they don't sent their interview offers until January to wait on fall grades, but on their confirmation email from Sept, it said they don't, and prefer not to get them...
I'm pretty sure their schedule has nothing to do with fall transcripts, I don't think I sent mine in the year I applied. That being said, it's been awhile now and vet school has melted my brain so I would just go with whatever the school told you (or email them again to double check).Do they require fall transcripts at Minnesota?
