I'm an out-of-state student considering applying to the University of Minnesota. Could someone provide me with the acceptance rate for out-of-state applicants? I'd like to know if it's significantly more competitive for students outside of Minnesota.
The University of Minnesota's overall acceptance rate is around 75%. However, they do not publicly release separate acceptance rates for in-state and out-of-state applicants. Since University of Minnesota is a public university, it's likely that the acceptance rate may be somewhat lower for out-of-state students compared to in-state students, as public universities often prioritize state residents.
That being said, the University of Minnesota is known for being more welcoming to out-of-state students than many other public universities. In recent years, approximately 40% of the incoming freshman class have been out-of-state students, which indicates that the University of Minnesota values geographic diversity in its student body.
As an out-of-state applicant, it's still important to have a strong academic profile, solid test scores (if applicable), and involvement in extracurricular activities. Ultimately, make sure you present a well-rounded application to increase your chances of admission. Good luck!
