Does anyone know how hard it is to get in-state tuition after the first year?

Can't be done.

[taw856]

Anyone else planning on visiting during the April admitted students weekend?

complete 2/4 and in review since 2/5.

How long does the "in review" take to become "decision" or whatever?

I wrote about how the law field does not have nearly enough white Jewish men. That surely got their attention.

I have this sneaking suspicion that my app fell behind someone's desk. I expected a big fat rejection by now. Oh well, I like the looks of Iowa right now.

In with 16k/yr!

I am very excited about Minnesota. Illinois or Wash U. will have to offer considerably better money to get me, and Northwestern is the only school left that can have me simply by admitting me.

[soccersmo]

withdrew; good luck to everyone!

+1... good luck!!

Question for successful applicants: is it necessary to write a "Why Minnesota" essay? My reasons for wanting to go aren't interesting. Minnesota is a good school with a friendly student body and excellent faculty lalala. I think these are all legitimate reasons for selecting a law school, but I think it would make for a bland essay.

[MBZags]

I didn't mention Minnesota at all and got in with 25K/year.

[foxyeconomist]

I did not write one but I had pretty good numbers for Minnesota. If I were going to write one, I would do some research on the school. I don't think that it's enough to say "excellent faculty". You should be specific. You should discuss specific programs at the school, what appeals to you Minneapolis, which faculty you are excited to work with and maybe how you would like to work in the midwest.

[JOThompson]

I wrote about the strong clinical offerings. They liked it enough to admit me with $20k, though I didn't think my essay was particularly great.

I've been in review since early December, just updated on 2/26 but still in review. This happen to anyone else?

[Great Satchmo]

In review since 1/6...

Just got waitlisted, WTF Minnesota! Stats are 3.4/171

[charlesjd]

Waitlisted today. I thought I was out for sure... Seems that they are actually as holistic as they say, which is awesome for a law school

From what I have heard, they are trying to raise their GPA median also. Regardless a 171 should be auto admit, I don't know if the practice YP, but it may be some since you could probably go to higher ranked program. Looking at LSN, it does not look like they do.

[current_steering]

could you share your numbers and if that's impossible, the date you applied?
thanks a bunch.

I'm a splitter and was waitlisted as well.

[ndirish2010]

I think they are indeed engaging in YP. I was waitlisted a couple days ago and will be withdrawing soon.

UR updated to 3/2 from 12/30. Hope my letter of rejection gets here already.
