Mine jumped 7 spots at deadline update, and I sat at number 1 for an entire month after that. It was incredibly stressful
Once again it varies so much each year it's hard to say. I'd be optimistic, but have a solid plan for what you will do in case you don't get called.
It's not impossible, but I'd assume it won't make it that high. Crazier things have happened though, so I'd at least keep your name on the list
Honestly no idea. It varies so much from year to year... I'm trying to predict based on what's happened in the past but who knows what it'll do this year. Hopefully we'll know more after April 17th.
Now that I've graduated I'm questioning if this is out of date now, but in the past there's usually a few waves where they do all the updates at once. The first is after the initial decision deadline in April; anyone pulled off the list at that time gets a time period within which to accept or decline. Once that period is past, the next wave goes out, and so on. In 2018 it was roughly 1-2 weeks between those. At each wave there'd be a new mass update. From what I remember that's how it tends to go for the first month or so. After that the list movement slows enough that they pull people off as spots open and the mass waitlist updates are less frequent.
I am!
I’m going!
This is super helpful, thank you!
I'm going! Are others bringing a guest with or going alone?
My sister is coming with me. She’s a veterinarian and she’s excited to check out the school with me.
Yes, straight into the signature with that
Wow, the only other siggy quote I'm in is when I was calling @potentialsheltervet a sneaky, slippery eel 😂
Depends on how you think of it...Wait no, I called her slimy, that's even worse
My dad is coming with because he is a UMN alum, so I think he may be even more excited than me
Tell me why I have yet to figure out how to make a signature or the little blurb thing under my name..it is truly disgusting how bad I am with technology lol

Hi, I look forward to meeting you at the admitted students day.
Oo I don't have any particular recommendations on hotels because I've also never stayed at a hotel here. There aren't many hotels super near the St. Paul campus (from my knowledge) so most of my classmates stayed in a hotel in Minneapolis and took Ubers back and forth. It also depends on if you are planning on renting a car or if you want to explore the city as well.
Thanks!
Glad I can be of any help!
For hotels, there are a few in Roseville along highway 35W that will be easy to get to campus from.
Honestly it's relatively rare that you are truly 'stuck' at home due to snow. This past week was predicted to be one of the top 10 snowfalls in MN record so places closed or moved online in anticipation. The road clearing system is pretty robust so it's usually just a matter of preparing for travel to take a bit more time, especially if you're close to campus.
Snow tires are good for cars or you can simply put a few sandbags in the back to weigh it down. Also not a bad idea to keep a shovel, snowbrush, and extra blankets and clothes in your car in case you get stuck.
. I will say they have made a difference, but in general, the roads are cleared fast enough that you can get around pretty decently without them.
I'm so thrilled to do stuff in the snow. And have white Christmases. And go for chilly snowy walks 😍Honestly, as someone who is from Minnesota, I never considered people being worried about the weather! Do not worry you will learn to love it and there are so many fun things to do in the winter. I think we need a class field trip to go skiing and snowboarding
I would fill it out.
I think they said they would send out more info for tech, housing, etc in may
I think there are specs for screen size but no specific brand requirements or anything. I’ve had various Surface Pro models (that tbh didn’t meet the screen specs lol) and they’ve been more than adequate during my time here.
Good to know.
The Surface Pros have been great. I recommend homing your notes on something cloud-based rather than the tablet itself - that saved my life when my first one died shortly before my preliminary exam in my PhD and I thought I had lost all my vet school notes, but they were salvaged because I save them all on dropbox instead of on the hard drive. Also makes the device run faster since the storage isn't all being used up.
I'm pretty sure talking to you about your brick was what prompted me to get the Surface Pro initially and I've never regretted it

I am!
I am
