Applying to the University of Minnesota
Applying to the University of Minnesota
As a PSEO student, you are not formally admitted to the University of Minnesota.
If you want to attend the University of Minnesota upon high school graduation, you will have to apply for undergraduate admission.
When you apply to the University, your application is reviewed for one of the eight first-year student admitting colleges after you select your academic area of interest on the application. For example, if you select literature as your academic area of interest, your application will be reviewed for the College of Liberal Arts. Also review the Profile of Admitted Students by college.
New Fall 2021:
PSEO Early Action Decision for Fall 2025 - Twin Cities campus
PSEO Early Action Decision for Fall 2025 - Twin Cities campus
PSEO high school seniors who apply by the University's Twin Cities Office of Admission's November 1, 2024 Early Action deadline for fall 2025 first-year admission and have either taken or are enrolled in a U of M course as a PSEO student at the time they apply will be provided an admission decision by December 15, 2024.
The early action decision is non-binding, meaning you are not required to attend the U of M if admitted.
This means new high school seniors admitted to the PSEO program for fall 2024 who defer their fall semester cannot take advantage of the early action option.
Also, note that the Office of Admissions will review your senior year U of M grades in January and again in May. Based on this information, they may alter your University admission decision.
The early action decision option for the University's Twin Cities PSEO students is not guaranteed and will be reviewed annually by the Twin Cities Office of Admissions. The PSEO early decision option for fall 2026 first-year admission will be finalized by April 2025.

If you plan to defer your admission for a semester or a year (or more), taking courses after graduating high school (including May and summer terms) will revoke your offer of admission and force you to reapply as a transfer student.
