| I received my admissions packet today (I already knew I was in though). No scholarship, which I can't really say surprises me, but kind of sucks. | |

| Achilles, I swear those stats are true. He is brilliant but did no work in high school. He couldn't be bothered with the busywork homework or studying for tests, although clearly he learned all he needed to know. Its pretty unbelievabnle that he couldn't get into a school like Miami. He doesn't know what he wants to major in yet. I think schools are worried that he is an underachiever. | |

| Neuromom,
I'm sorry to hear about your S decision. However, I am not surprised one bit. Acceptance at many top universities require more than stellar college board scores. UM applicants are usually at the top 10th-20th percentile of their graduating classes and have GPA's of 3.5-4.0 UW and 4.0-5.0/6.0+ W, depending on the high school's grading scale. Also, colleges know that SAT scores are not the best measurement for someone's future achievements in college. That's why they like a well-rounded student who has the grades and shows interest and mastery in a few select extracurriculars. It's unfortunate that your son was lazy in high school, because it is apparent that he definitely has the aptitude and intelligence there. My suggestion for him is to attend another school for two years and then transfer to Miami.Or, maybe he will want to reach higher and try and get into one of the ivy leagues schools and that is definitely in the cards for your son. | |

I got wait listed with a 3.55 UW GPA and a 27 ACT (28 superscored... I dont know if they do that) with a ton of ECs, sports, and volunteer work.
Is that normal? | |

| Marty are you OOS? Remember they take less out of state than In.
btm, my advice is to call admissions tomorrow, but if it says they are still reviewing I would think they just haven't gotten to you. It takes ahile t go through 20K applicants | |
