I feel like U Minn just likes to look at our applications a lot. I applied 11/1/10 and I've been In Review with 3 different date changes, the most recent of which is 1/7/11.

They must really be on the fence about me.

I just withdrew. I was only going to use the admission/scholarship to leverage others, and I'm tired of waiting on UMN's slow ass (and have a full-ride offer from a UMN peer that will serve the same purpose).

Good luck to everyone!

This is my first date change. I was on 12/3 or something forever.

Could someone please tell me what the difference is between the Advanced Standing Application and the First Year Application Non Binding?

That's encouraging, because I'm still at 12/17. D:

Well... I already said this last week, but based on Minnesota trends there could be some calls today! Crossing my fingers!

10 minutes before I got accepted at Minnesota, I had possibly the WORST interview ever at Northwestern. When I received the admitted phone call, I started crying (I guess just from going from :cry: to :D ). The guy was SO (understandably) awkward and got off the phone immediately.
Perhaps I scared them so much they've stopped all acceptances.

PS what happened with your NU interview??
I do HIV research and when asked about my project management experience, my answer had to with my research (so it was sorta involved). Despite how hard I tried to explain it to my interviewer, she kept saying she didn't understand what I was talking about. Trying to steer the conversation in the right direction, I asked if she went to NU Law. She replied that she went to Creighton Law. I meant to say "Oh, that's a good school!" when all that came out was "Oh, that's a.... school." What can I say, I'm a bad liar.

Why was that person even interviewing students for NW if they're not an alum? That makes zero sense.

That's what I was thinking... My NU interviewer explicitly stated that all off-campus interviews must be done by alums.

Ah maybe that does change the rules...

At any rate, insulting interviewer's school can't be THAT bad, right? :D

I didn't explicitly insult. It is indeed a school!
But yeah probably doesn't help.

LOL, that's an insult.

Where'd you go to school? University of Phoenix!
Oh! That's a... school...

The mere observation that it's a school (which is obvious...) implies that you were likely going to say something else, but censored yourself :P That said, perhaps interviewer is either used to the critique, or attributed it to interviewee jitters :D

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
