| I was also accepted. I found out online yesterday and in the mail today. However, I am curious about scholarships. I've received a letter from Miami about their scholarships (presidential, dean, et al), and I'm not sure where I fit in (might have the SAT scores for one but not the GPA). But my biggest fear is that they send out scholarship notifications with their admissions notification, and if that is the case, I did not get a scholarship. So my question is: is that the case or do they send out a scholarship letter later? Also, they want verification forms for my FAFSA, but I do not think that plays into scholarship awards...but maybe it does. | |

| Okay so I was offered a place on the waitlist, but I'm not sure if I'll take it.
My stats are 3.7W GPA and 24 ACT, so I would probably be the last one to get in. And I won't find out until June 15th, and I would already have to go to orientation for one of my other options (most likely Indiana University). Also they said limited financial aid would be available so it would for sure be a no go.
Oh well...I might still check yes just to see if I could get in, but I'm 100% sure I won't be going. | |

| This is to neuromom, either ( and i dont meant to be rude if this is not true) you are a troll who made up those stats. Or that is absolutely insane. A 1550 getting rejected! I would highly recomend taking a trip down there, and explaining his passion of learning, and urging them too look past his GPA, that he actually did achieve success in the only place it matters, his brain.
Over the years it has become such a cliche that Colleges put too much weight on test scores, that i think the opposite is beginning to happen. They are looking right through the actual mirror of progress, the Sat, Act. To such pointless grades that are only established to encourage learning. They are looking past what the grades are intended to accomplish right to the pointless meanings they have in school.
Again I think if you visit the school and speak with the admissions officer he should be fine.
BTW what is he planning on Majoring in? | |
