[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Minnesota. It’s the next big rolling admissions school. And they actually want DMV students.[/quote]

It’s funny, just asked my sister in MN about Minnesota and she thinks it is a fairly depressing college experience.  Urban campus that is somewhat broken up with lots of commuters.

I get that kids don’t want to go to college near home, but her suburban HS seems to send way fewer kids nor is thought the same way as UMD for Bethesda/DC kids.[/quote]

A lot of WI kids that don't get into UW Madison go to U MN because of in-state reciprocal tuition agreements.  And the top Minnesota students are more likely to then go to UW Madison because it's also "in-state" but perceived as better and more fun. And some who don't get into Madison will even choose a different UW just to get away from home.  But UMN is changing -- attracting more OOS beyond WI, and falling into the category of a flagship in an urban area that is becoming more popular.  Immigration has made the state more diverse which opens up the range of people who think the city is a good fit for them.  Usually locals are less alert to these kinds of shifts as they hold a dated view of their school based on their time there (e.g., GMU, UMD, UMBC).[/quote]
