The major thing here, is that you convey your extra-curriculars and show that you’re well-rounded and an overall strong applicant, which I’m sure you know is important.

But the NUMBER ONE thing at the U, is what college are you applying to?

College of Biological Sciences currently ranks hardest to get into.

Carlson School of Management is number 2…the rest I don’t know but I know the easier ones…

Institute of Technology is 3 for sure.

College of Design – somewhere 3-5 hardest

College of Food, Agriculture, and Natural Sciences, same as CoD^

College of Liberal Arts, the largest and one of the best shots.

College of Education and Human Development is, pretty much our General College.

TONS of students apply to CLA, and CEHD to get INTO the U, then just transfer to the college they want to be in after they knock out a couple great semesters at the U, very easy! Good luck!

I never did…though times might have changed.

I think your chances of getting into the U are very good…especially if you are already a Minnesota resident. Don’t sweat it. Sometimes they like to make you sit and wait.
