Anyone waiting on University of Minnesota Masters for Statistics . . . . my application status has changed to Decision Made, but I've yet to receive an email. Who says that checking apply yourself obsessively doesn't pay off - although now I'm in limbo land.

If you need any University of Minnesota or Minneapolis specific information, just let me know, I'm happy to share.

As someone that also has an Economics background that applied to the MA program at MN, I can tell you that I was more than comfortable with the department. I also did my undergraduate degree at Minnesota and spent time in the Statistics, Computer Science and Economics areas. Since I live here, I've also had the luxury to take a graduate level course in their program to get a feel for what it's like. I understand your geographical concern, in that the closest major university is UW - Madison, is 4 hours away, but that's the Midwest for you! You also have Chicago at about 6.5 hours away. In both those cases you can also find cheap airfare and make it a 40 minute flight if you are so inclined to visit either school.

First decision is up.

I'm waiting for the same thing and I haven't heard anything yet. I'm taking a course here as a non-degree seeking student and I asked a few people in my class (the undergrads) if they'd heard anything from Minnesota yet, and they had not. Patience is a virtue I guess.
