obesemuffins Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 Hey Prospective MSWers, It looks like people are finally hearing back from some of their schools so I wanted to start this thread specifically for University of Minnesota applicants. For everyone who applied for the 1/5 deadline, has anyone heard back? I'm currently in the "Final Review" stage -- since Thursday!--and getting pretty nervous.
monkey87 Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 I saw that someone posted that they had been accepted. Mine is still under Final Review, so I'm not sure what to think - hopefully this is just a matter of the order in which they're processing the acceptances? I've seen from the GradCafe survey results that they did rejections first for the PhD program this year, and at least did one waitlist before other acceptances in previous years. I've been accepted to U of Chicago with a nice scholarship, but the U of MN is my first choice for a couple of reasons, including the fact that my husband's job is up here.
obesemuffins Posted March 6, 2013 Author Posted March 6, 2013 Hello! Thanks for the reply. May I ask when you applied to UChicago?
monkey87 Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 I applied before the early admission deadline (December) and heard back on Monday, February 11. Have you heard anything from the U of MN yet, or still on final review? I emailed the general graduate admissions office to ensure that the delay was just a general one (because their site says 2 business days) and not a problem with my application, and they confirmed that it was just that they were processing so many admissions decisions right now. They also said that I should hear by the end of the week - hopefully that means that it switches to "decision made" tomorrow, so I can view the decision on Friday and not have to wait yet another weekend.
monkey87 Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Ooh, mine just switched to Decision Made! Fingers crossed - at least this long national nightmare will be at an end by tomorrow.
obesemuffins Posted March 7, 2013 Author Posted March 7, 2013 Looks like you're closer to the finish line than I am. As of now, I'm still stuck on "Final Review" -- CRAP!
obesemuffins Posted March 7, 2013 Author Posted March 7, 2013 It looks like the later, the better - good luck! Let me know if they come to a decision. When did you apply to Minnesota? Ahh. Still on Final Review.
monkey87 Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 I got in! Decision became available some time between 8:30 and 9:00 - no email. Such a relief.
obesemuffins Posted March 11, 2013 Author Posted March 11, 2013 Hey monkey, may I message you regarding their financial aid situation?
