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.

They could start climbing onto the fence for me any day now... as I still sit with a really old review day...

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!

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

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 
to 
). The guy was SO (understandably) awkward and got off the phone immediately.
Perhaps I scared them so much they've stopped all acceptances.

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.Gotti wrote:stlisforlovers wrote:10 minutes before I got accepted at Minnesota, I had possibly the WORST interview ever at Northwestern.

Why was that person even interviewing students for NW if they're not an alum?

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

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
That said, perhaps interviewer is either used to the critique, or attributed it to interviewee jitters
