| Yeah, I did have a 32 ACT (it is better than my SAT) but I also had a major legacy, so those two helped me a lot in the admissions process. But I don't think legacies count towards scholarships......... | |

| Azsummer,
Just by curiousity what other colleges did you get into? Wow! A 4.0 UW GPA and still top 15%, must be a heck of a competitive school and the highest GPA must be an 8.0 or something. You said NYU, right????!!!! That's suprising. I thought NYU required higher SATs. And yes, Miami does not really look at the Writing section, so in their eyes you only got a 1260 and that is right below the cutoff for this years admitted applicants.
I had a biunch of friends apply and was surprised to hearthe results but not completely surprised.
Applicant 1: 3.5ish GPA W and 1280 SAT; one of the most competitive private schools in NYC (Dwight) ACCEPTED
Applicant 2: 1350 SAT, 3.75 GPA UW, competitie public school in NJ, top 15%; ACCEPTED
Applicant 3: 3.75 UW GPA, 1250 SAT, top public school in Nassau County, NY (LONG ISLAND); WAITLISTED
Applicant 4: 3.5 GPA W, 1150 SATs; DENIED
From the results, I can conclude that the mean GPA range was a 3.5-4.0+ W depending on the school and rigor of courseload. And a mean SAT score of 1300-1480 (CR/M).
Hope this helps!
To be honest, I do not think I would get accepted to NYU without the tremendous alumni connections I have, but I did not like NYU because of the big city feel with no campus. But, it all depends on the applicant and there top factors.
Best of luck! If Miami is what you want, transfer is pretty easy. Go to a solid school and get a GPA of 3.3-3.5+ and your SAT scores are disregarded and you should definitely get accepted. | |

| I got my acceptance letter a couple of weeks ago with the trustees scholarship.
my stats are: 3.4 gpa uw, 5.2 gpa weighted
IB program
31 ACT
my ec's are okay, and my teachers love me so I'm assuming they gave me great recs.
I also live in miami already and supposedly they have pereference over us or something. I also go to a nationaly known school where almost all of the IB kids here who apply get into UM soo yeah.
congrats to those who got in! maybe we'll see each other next year if I decide to stay in miami. | |

| Keeping my fingers crossed for you! If anyone deserves to get into Miami, it is definately YOU! The school would be nuts to bypass someone who obviously wants to attend so badly and seems to be a pretty good student to boot!
Jeremy, I am praying that you get in, I've been saying prayers to g-d for weeks for you. I think g-d owes me one and he will see you through to admissions! GO JEREMY!!!!!!! The email name thing has me intrigued. Have my fingers and toes crossed for you! *smile* | |
