they have added additional 6 months to the program with extra fees !!! why are schools doing this ..greedy..
 
I didn't see the increased fee and the time.. where you got the info?? please share the link..
 
Guys did anybody add letters of Recommendation to UMN application ?The program does not request it. Do we still need to add in LORs. Thinking of applying.

Hey where did you read that? I went through the website again and couldn't find this. Do not worry coz one of my friends was a fresh graduate and got into the program. All the best.

Hi.. Yes this was my first application cycle at UMN. I dont think stats matter that much . A friend of mine with not -so-great stats and nill clinical experience got in lasy year. Its a whole lot of luck and the whole application that counts (Atleast this is what I feel)
 
I am planing to apply to UMN in the current application cycle. I am still studying for my part 2. I should be sending in my application in June mid. Will I have any chances at all considering it will be pretty late in the application cycle??

Is it true that they are interviewing every Wednesday from the first interview?
waiting to hear back from them eagerly :wideyed:
 
how long did it take them to get back to u? i got an application completion email 2 weeks ago but nothing since then.
 
Hi there,
I got an interview call from UMN.
Is there anyone who interviewed in this cycle willing to share his/her experience.
Also did anybody hear back after the interview? How long do they take to get back?
