The University of Minnesota, Twin Cities (UMN) is a public research university and the state’s largest institution of higher education. It is also among the top 50 public universities in the United States.

The school was founded on November 16, 1851, by an act of the legislature, making it one of the oldest institutions in Minnesota. Originally named The State University of Minnesota, it underwent several name changes before settling on its current title. UMN’s main campus sits on over 2 million square feet (200 acres) within Minneapolis-St Paul; there are additional campuses across Minnesota as well as abroad at sites such as Singapore Management University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine

Application Process

The application process is online, and the fee is $60. The deadline for submitting your application is November 1, but you can apply earlier if you want to get an early decision from the University of Minnesota. If you wait until later in the cycle, it may take longer for us to review your application because we receive so many applications each year.

We do not offer fee waivers or exceptions for this fee; therefore, all applicants must pay it before their application is considered complete and reviewed by our admissions staff.

If admitted as a new first-year student at UM (not transfer), no additional fees are required before enrollment other than those listed above.”

Progression and Retention Rates

The progression and retention rates are significant because they tell how likely your child will graduate from the university. The higher these numbers are, the better.

The progression rate is the percentage of students who graduate within four years. For example, if 100 students started as freshmen in 2018 and 80 graduated with a bachelor’s degree by 2022, their 4-year progression rate would be 80%.

The retention rate is the percentage of students who return to the university after their first year (or another point during their studies). For example, if 100 freshmen returned as sophomore but only 90 remained enrolled through instead of graduating or transferring out (as some did), their 2nd-year retention rate would be 90%.

Student Body and Demographics

The University of Minnesota has a diverse student body representing over 100 countries. You’ll also find that most students come from Minnesota, but many are from other states and countries.

Students from all over the world come to study at this school because they value its excellent academic programs and research opportunities and its location in one of America’s largest cities (Minneapolis).

The average GPA for admitted applicants was 3.7 on a 4-point scale, and their SAT scores ranged from 1160-1390 out of 1600 points – this is considered competitive for most colleges or universities across the country (though you should always check with your top choice school!).
