They called but I forgot to add my name to my voicemail so they didn't leave a message but when I called back she gave me the good news! She said they will send out follow up emails later today.
Did UM call you or send you the email?? BIG CON!!
Patience Iago.
In years past they have made some preemptive phone calls to people and send out the official emails later that day. I'm sure you'll hear either way very soon.
Emails sent! Wait listed, #15!
Now that the waiting game continues for me... Does anyone have any insight on how much the non-resident waitlist moves?

I'm still waiting to hear back from a couple other schools, but at this point there's a pretty good chance that I will be declining my spot (mostly because of OOS tuition). I imagine many others will as well. Too bad I can't just hand off my seat to you/someone on the waitlist! It's nice that they tell you exactly where you sit though! Being that high on the list, you should have a pretty good chance of getting a seat.
First of all, congrats all! I was also #15 on OOS waitlist two years ago, and I was accepted off it in early June (I had already decided on my Tufts acceptance). From what the admissions office told me, it was a weird year where almost all of the OOS admitted students ended up sending a deposit in--usually some at least decline it--so they thought I would actually be accepted sooner.Emails sent!

Hopefully we'll see a lot of you next year!
I'm 90% sure I will be accepting my seat am I was wondering if anyone has any advice on general areas to look for an apartment or house to rent. We didn't get to do much driving around when I was there to interview but I'm assuming there are better parts of the cities than others as with most places. Any help would be appreciated!

My husband would be transferring within his company to Savage. We were hoping to be able to find something between campus and there. We have a bloodhound that does good in a house but a small apartment is a no go for her. We also have a beagle mix who is perfect in any living situation
Savage is pretty far south so there's a lot of real estate between the vet school and there you can look into, each with various neighborhoods that have their own reputations. I lived in South Minneapolis for awhile (by 62 & Hiawatha) and I really like that area. There's a great off leash dog park as well as walking trails around the Minnehaha Falls.My husband would be transferring within his company to Savage.

Wow, lovely! What happened to "Minnesota nice"..I called this morning and talked to the Residency Coordinator in the Office of Admissions (undergraduate, not vet med). She was not pleasant and would not give me a straight answer about anything. She was also mad that I didn't have a student ID number, and I tried to explain I haven't accepted my seat yet but she kept cutting me off before I could explain. She directed me to the website and was annoyed when I had a follow up question. Good luck if you choose to call!
Hi all, I know this has been somewhat addressed in various places - including interview day student panel - but I was hoping to hear more from people who have and have not been successful in establishing in-state residency following the 1st year of the DVM program at Mn. I loved U of Mn and I am seriously considering accepting my offer of admission, but cost is a huge factor in my decision-making process - saving 100 grand over the course of 4 yrs is no trivial matter! What's the likelihood of being able to make that switch - does it help that I am pushing 30 so going back to live with mom and dad after graduating is not likely? Do you have to work a certain # of hours per week at a non-school-related job? I did read the info on their website about residency, but it still seems a little fuzzy. Thank you for your input!

Thanks for the info. I do remember them saying at the interview day/info session that the residency matter was handled by the university at large - not the vet school, but I suppose the vet school administrative people can advise on the matter, with the actual decision ultimately being up to the university.

Did we start a FB page for the c/o 2018?? I specifically recall one of our own starting our 2017 page... did we start a new tradition!? Why am I always the last to know?
Actually last year's was definitely created by a c/o 2018 member from SDN (but you could argue there were more of us on there than there were 2018ers at first), and I created my class's... so I guess that just means you started a new traditionI believe there were two last year, one created by a c/o 2017 member, and another created by a c/o 2018 member a few days later. I'm pretty sure (but I could be wrong) that the one created by the c/o 2017 member was the one that ended up becoming the official page. Strangely, there are NO members of the c/o 2019 in the group right now (other than myself… but I'm kinda in that weird 2018/2019 group because of my LOA). I remember the admin originally being a c/o 2017 member and she had to pass the admin duties to a c/o 2018 person so we could kick the upperclassmen out. We later learned that it was best to keep one or two approved upperclassmen for occasional consultation purposes.
I know lol. I go to undergrad on the border of MN and WI. I just had to make a joke.It is more like Minnesota passive aggressive. We are rude, but with a smile on our face. I never realized it, until I moved to a different state.
Also, I grew up in MN for context.

I think I read that you just have to pass all required courses or something. Maybe? Lol.Does anyone know if there is a minimum GPA for your spring semester you have to get in order to keep your spot at UMN for the Fall? My physiology course is making me nervous...
You'll probably be fine waiting until May (assuming you want to move in late August/early Sept). In fact you'll probably have better luck waiting until then because a lot of what's being advertised right now is available right now.Anybody know when you should start looking for an apartment? And is it still possible to find one if you wait until like May?..

I didn't go looking for apartments for mid-August until mid-late June and I was fine... they had stuff available much earlier than I wanted too. Especially if you're looking more for an apartment in a larger complex as opposed to a house or duplex type place.Anybody know when you should start looking for an apartment?

So if you're wanting a house you should look earlier is what you are saying? Just making sure lol. And I think I will just take what I can get for as cheap as possible... prices living in the city is really scaring me.. :/I didn't go looking for apartments for mid-August until mid-late June and I was fine... they had stuff available much earlier than I wanted too.
