2016-2017 University of Minnesota Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Did any of the people who got acceptances today interview after 9/22?

Congratulations!!!
 
Got an II for the Twin Cities Campus on Friday. Lizzy M: 72.8. Out of State (I hang out a lot in Minneapolis tho). Interview will be in January, but judging from previous years' threads I think they fill about half the class pre-january and half the class afterwards. I'm truly honored to be given a chance at this school. Looking forward to it! Also is this the first year that MMI is being used here?

Congrats on the II! Yes, it is the first year of MMI at TC.

Same - when were you complete? It seems they're scheduling interviews out quite far this year.

They usually do early decision program and start interviews in August. They didn't participate in early decision thus year and started interviews mid-September, so it would make sense to extend interviews longer this year.

Anyone know which metro station is closest to the medical school?

Yeah I turned in my secondary upon receipt in late Septemeber (9/22 to be exact). I added U of M late because I'm an out of state student who was discouraged from applying given MSAR data on the school-- changed my mind after seeing that email calling for more diversity. For the record I'm an ORM, so who knows if that's what made the difference.
 
I just want to know before Christmas if possible. It would make all those conversations so simple. "Yeah got in to top choice!" Thanksgiving is gonna be a marathon either way I suppose.

Interviewed 10/20
 
Hello everyone!

I am a current MS1 on the Twin Cities campus and I thought I would give you my application timeline from the 2015-2016 application cycle. My main goal is to encourage the people who applied late in the cycle - don't lose hope! 🙂 Last year at this time I was flipping out from the stress so just hang in there!

Personal info: 515 MCAT, In-state, 3.8 GPA

Primary app submitted: 9/2/2015
Primary app verified: 9/15/2015
University of Minnesota secondary app received: 9/29/2015
University of Minnesota secondary app submitted: 10/15/2015
University of Minnesota interview invite: 12/15/2015
Interview date: 1/19/2016
Put on "Hold": 4/4/2016
Accepted by phone call: 5/5/2016

Also - don't believe everything that you read on SDN! A few of my classmates and I have been joking about how nervous we were when we read about these perfect applicants on SDN being rejected when we were applying. Every applicant is different, and everyone's application cycle timing is different too.

Also, for what it's worth, I have been enjoying the U of M immensely so far - all of the students are super friendly and the professors/administrators are great in my opinion. Hope to see you here next year! Good luck!

Honestly this gives me SO much hope, I submitted my secondary around the same time you did and had been sure that I've been wasting my money.
 
Alternate List email from Duluth just now. Already accepted into one of my top so even though I really loved Duluth, not completely devastated. Good luck everyone!
 
Accepted to Duluth! First Acceptance!!! Interviewed on 09/30. Hoping to hear some more good news from TC on Friday. I wish I could bottle this feeling and pull it anytime I get stressed over the next four years. Surreal to say I am going to be a doctor!!! Good luck to everyone still waiting on that first acceptance it will come!
 
Congratulations!!! And I do hope it will come. At this point, I feel hopeless.
 
Congratulations you guys!

For those still waiting, remember everyone has their own path - I choose to make the most of mine even if I feel I'm taking a detour. Sometimes, the longer road brings you somewhere you'd never have reached if you'd had your way when setting out.

Got the call from TC today! Interviewed on 10/06. Such an amazing two days. Hang in there those still waiting to hear back it's not Thanksgiving yet! Looking forward to meeting other accepted students! Also, my portal hasn't changed yet for me.

Hmmm... only 3 acceptances? Hoping this doesn't mean it's the waitlist for the rest of us late September/early October interviewees

Don't worry, I interviewed 9/30 and was stressed when someone from the same date got in last round of acceptances (2 wks ago). But then I got accepted this round (yesterday). I think they are doing it one interview week at a time, with the exception of a few stellar applicants who interviewed the following week. I'm sure you will get accepted next round!
 
I did not get my first choice of interview dates. I hope interviewing later doesn't negatively affect my chances.
