Thanks for all the responses. They're very helpful! My application went complete 11/28 and I'm far above both 75ths, but no response yet. As a MN native, I'd love to go back, so I'm anxious for a decision.

Just went in review. How long did it take for people to get admitted/dinged after going in review?

Looks like the next wave of admits is today. Just got admitted via status checker.

Looking forward to visiting the campus sometime next year.

Advice from someone who lives in Minneapolis: wait until April-May. January-March are far and away the nastiest months here

I was thinking I'd do Feb or March just to get a real feel for what it'd be like there. :

Oh, nice! After I saw your post I checked my status checker too and saw the "scholarship letter" dated today, but I haven't received a phone call/email/letter yet. Hopefully before the EOD

I'm sure you'll get the same offer. Nice to receive, though.

My status checker also changed to say "Dean's Distinguished Scholarship" but I'm not expecting it to be anywhere near full. I think they said that they'd be snail mailing the scholarship letters. Your phone call was probably special because it was full.

[Assasindowntheavenue]

Got the call today as well. My first (and maybe only) full ride this cycle. So happy right now. Good luck to all still waiting!

[airwrecka]

Yup, also just got the call with a full ride. Hoping it's not my only one this cycle, but it probably will be

As a current UMN undergrad, I'm curious as to whether the recent Football team's suspensions and the boycott that followed has had any influence on your interests in attending law school here.

It hasn't affected my interest at all. The university made its stance clear.

Absolutely not. It might have made an influence if the administration listened to the demands of the players but they were firm with their decision.

Haven't received any letter yet, but also noticed the mailing in my status checker entitled: "Dean's Distinguished Scholarship." Other scholarship recipients: is this what you see as well? Is this anything specific or important, or just a nice sounding name attached to a wide range of potential scholarship awards?

Yes I see that as well

My status checker just says "Scholarship Letter," but I received a call last Friday notifying me that I got a full ride. Received the letter about it on Saturday. What I can conclude, therefore, is that you did not receive a full scholarship, but other than that, the scholarship could be any amount!
