anyone know what the current admission statistics are?
scheduled to interview on april 1st, hope it goes well
Did they say ranked or unranked?
There isn't a seat available at your preferred campus, but you have admitted status. If a seat opens up they go to the holding pool 1st, then ranked waitlist, then waitlist. If I understand correctly from interview day.Anyone has any idea what the holding pool is? I got placed in the "holding pool" due to lack of available seats and when I called the admissions office, I was told it is not the wait-list as I have already been admitted. I am so confused
So if you're on the holding list do they give you a timeline as to when/if you get in via an opening? Just curious, I'm on the ranked wait list and wondering if it's worth waiting.
I wasn't made aware of when they will admit everyone on the holding list. However, I have been told (do not quote me on this) that the list is not that large and offers for acceptance usually happen quickly between May and June. If you ranked among the first 30 in the waitlist, there is a possibility of you getting admitted as early as late May. Again I don't know how credible this is.
Agreed, I think it must be new. My thing is like, what's the point of a ranked wait list if there's a holding pool? Just saying.
I remember asking a former student about the holding pool and he himself was confused. In my opinion, I think they initially admit more than the seats available (which I recall being told that sometimes happens when they are more qualified applicants)
It really is confusing. My understanding was that the ranked wait list is for those considered admissible but due to lack of available seats, are placed in a ranked wait list. However, what I got from the interview was that the decision to admit, wait list, or reject is done by the admissions committee. This committee makes the decision without being influenced by the number of seats available. This means if the committee agrees that 180 applicants are a perfect fit for the program whereas only 168 seats are available, they will admit all of them. I'm guessing the wait list is a list of applicants that are not necessarily a perfect fit but are admissible. Again this is my own interpretation of what I was told during the interview.
I am pretty sure this is just the zero-credit course for those volunteering with the Phillips Neighborhood Clinic (which you should do - it is pretty amazing). Interviews are usually late September, so no need to register unless you are accepted.
Me too, @sharpie876 whats your rank?
#9!
The email I got last Thursday said the next offer is going to the person ranked #12 in the holding pool and the offer is for either Twin Cities or Duluth campuses. Last two weeks, the email sent updates that the next offers were to #9 for Twin Cities and #11 for Duluth campus. I assume it means that now, all but the #12, #13, #14, and #15? (I thought I was last on the list and I'm ranked #14, so maybe I was wrong) haven't yet been offered seats. I don't understand how there could still be 9 left on the list since it won't make any sense that they will skip all the other applicants to that ranked #12 on the list.
Unless those who were recently offered seats are yet to accept the offer?
I don't understand it either.
I was wrong, there are actually 20 candidates on the holding pool. I think the confusion occurred because I was in the last group to be interviewed and therefore, wrongly assumed I would be one of the last applicants in the holding pool since it is a rolling admission. I sincerely apologize to anyone I misled. No problem, they only told me there was 15 in the pool so I totally understand!Welp,
