2013-2014 University of Minnesota Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Interviewed 10/25, nothing yet. I'm hoping they do some calls today as next week will likely be silent due to the semester ending and Christmas holidays.
 
Interviewed 11/11. I am too eager to hear back, but I guess that nothing is happening anytime soon..
 
So what's the social scene like up there? I know some schools have a social committee with subsidized happy hours, but I imagine that's a rarity. Most folks gel on their own? How much comingling with the ug campus, since it's right there?

Do you have any advice for the Duluth interview? I am scheduled for an early January interview!

If you are prepared to answer why you want to do rural medicine and how you have prepared for that sort of lifestyle, then you will be golden. The interview is conversational and quite relaxed, as is the whole interview day. I loved the campus.

The only downside is I have two friends who interviewed there two weeks ago and they were both told the best interviewees at that time could hope for was to be wait-listed. 😕
 
rejected to TC this morning (pre-interview)

OOS/3.8/30 complete end of october

I am very sorry for this disappointing decision. Thank you for sharing. Good luck for the rest of the cycle!

Waitlisted by email. Interviewed 10/25, IS, 3.78/34

So sorry to hear that, I interviewed the same day and haven't received anything yet. Hopefully the waitlist moves more than last year. I called the office earlier today and they told me calls were likely today but that these were from the decisions made during the committee meeting 2 weeks ago. The committee met yesterday but those decisions won't be until after next week as the office is pretty much closed the entire next week.

+1 I interviewed the week after. I was surprised I even got a wait list since I'm international.

I do not think UofM "discriminate" against Internationals. I'm international and got acceptance last month. Keep up the hope. You will be fine!

Last year of the 333 international applicants only 14 were interviewed and 2 matriculated. Who knows how many of the 14 were offered acceptances. No they don't "discriminate," but they don't accept many. I am guessing this is why GingerGirl27 was not surprised.

P.S. Sorry GingerGirl27, good luck with the waitilist and at other Universities.
 
Anyone hear anything today? Nothing here, looks like another 2-3 week wait.

Yes PheonixForce that's exactly what i was getting at. They even said that in the wait list email lol.
 
Any post-interview decisions for people who interviewed after 10/28?
Merow.
 
Does anyone know exactly how far the waitlist went last year? The only reached ~#9, correct?
 
Just called the office to get a feel at when to expect any kind of news. She said that if you haven't heard anything back yet that it will be a while since the next time the committee will meet is Janury 8th. That would make almost 11 weeks for me. yey 🙁
 
Surprised they're open today. I suppose it's not a holiday, but still.

Also, looks like I'm on a WL for my other top choice. Looking more likely I'm going to be a gopher next year 🙂
 
Crap!! I just realized I forgot to send in one form with my deposit…. It's after two weeks... I have it in the mail tomorrow, but no one is in the office to ease my nerves. Do you think I'll be okay??

I think you can pay the deposit online. as long as they get that I think you should be ok. maybe just email them and tell them you've fedex'ed your intent to matriculate.

Ha um I forgot too... I hadn't gotten my acceptance packet and thought the deposit form was in there (oops). You can submit it online in a link they email you with the acceptance email! I did it about a month late, emailed Patel about it, and she said it was fine. Don't suggest this though 🙂
 
Happy matriculation year everyone! Has anyone heard when the school is making the Facebook group for our class?
 
My post is similar to HPE92! I was just wondering if any Duluth students were looking at Bluestone Lofts (pref. females)? I'm interested in the apartment but it's out of my budget to live alone.

Really excited about starting, can't wait to move up there. Are you tc or Duluth?
 
I am seriously losing hope. Interviewed 11/11. It was 8 weeks yesterday. The U is without doubt my first choice. Did they forget to email the rejected, me?:bang:

Don't worry. I'm sure that the holidays threw a wrench in their normal committee meeting schedule, which is why no one on here has heard any word since before Christmas. Someone posted that according to the admissions office that the committee meets tomorrow, so I would expect a new wave of decisions coming out this week and next.

I think most of the 10/25 and 10/28 group hasn't even heard yet. My friend who interviewed in November (not sure when) said they were informed decisions would now be 8-10 weeks... 🙁. The committee meets tomorrow after a 3 week holiday hiatus... here's to a flurry of activity (acceptances🙂) over the next couple weeks!
 
They were backed up pretty much right away with the interview season. I interviewed at the end of September and didn't hear til 8 weeks later.
 
well 10.5 weeks later and a waitlist. good luck to the rest of you
 
Interviewed 11/18. Waitlisted 1/8. Good luck everyone!
 
Does anyone know the name or have a link to the class of 2018 Facebook page? The email from dean Patel contained a link to it that didn't work.
Thanks!

Delete dpatel from the link she sent and it should take you to the right one!

I called the office earlier today but haven't had a chance to post on here yet. They said no decisions were going out today (I'm assuming today was an interview day?) and to expect them earlier next week. Based on what I've seen so far, it appears that the waitlist e-mails from the meeting this past Wednesday are being sent out this week (of course this is based on the few posts here; I'm under the impression no one has received an acceptance call this week but I could be completely wrong).

Either way, let's hope for some calls "early" next week!
