Fall 2008 applicants
Fall 2007 and Spring 2008 applicants
We look at several pieces of information to make an admission decision. Use our application checklist to ensure your application is complete.
After you apply
Within two weeks, you will receive an acknowledgement that your application was received.
Within four weeks, you will be notified if your application is complete or if any items, such as your transcript or application fee, are missing.
Within ten weeks from the date your application is complete, we will review your application and you will receive one of the following decisions:
Admit - Congratulations! You have been admitted to the University of Minnesota.
Postpone - We have not yet made a final decision on your application. After we have reviewed the applications submitted by the December 17 priority deadline, we will complete another, overall assessment of your application, and will take into consideration your first-term senior year grades. You will be notified of your decision as soon as possible, but no later than April 1.
Deny - We are not able to offer you freshman admission. We encourage you to apply for transfer admission for a future semester. Transfer admission is also competitive so it is important that you achieve a strong academic record at another college or university. Click here for more information.
