| Thanks Jeremy. I think compared to the kids that have posted on CC, I was not as strong. My SAT's weren't as high as others and I've read what some of these other kids have accomplished, and quite frankly, I'm proud to have even been considered since these are some VERY strong applicants!
It stinks I didn't get in, but that's OK, because in all honesty, "wow" everyone here on this forum are extraordinarily strong students!
*sigh* I'll have to take my great big bad attitude and bring it elsewhere. LOL (I'm just kidding people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Oh Jeremy, I DO hope you get in. Sitting here wishing you do! |

| From seeing acceptances at school and here on CC, it looks like early action and decision was definitely the time to apply if you wanted a scholarship. Someone like bitesizeemma would have gotten at least the Dean's scholarship, and maybe the university scholarship in the early rounds.
Like I said before, I only have 1 AP class, barely a 4.0 W, but a high ACT score and got a Dean's scholarship. I hope some 2009 applicants are reading this, because scholarships can be important at Miami. | |

| yeah i totally agree. UM gives most of their scholarships to the early action/decision applicants that are accepted. all of my friends who applied did early action, but i didn't because i applied to stanford which had restrictive early action. i ended up getting rejected from stanford but that's okay cause it was a total reach and i just wanted to try it loll. but for those of you that are planning on applying next year you should definitely do early action because you have a better chance of getting in and getting more money and there's also less competition than with regular decision. | |

| If I got all my materials in about a week before the regular decision deadline, when should I expect to hear back from UM? | |

| Jeremy, Congratulations! I don't think you would have gotten the UM acceptance without a Frost acceptance first. And you got in as a transfer. You cannot get in as a freshman this year with a low SAT unless you have a 4.0+ and high class rank to outweigh it. Average SAT for admittees this year is 1310 according to the admissions counselor I spoke to this morning (my D was rejected academically with a 3.6+ unweighted GPA but low SATs after being accepted by Frost).
After 30 college credits the SATs are not considered any more, as they are supposed to "predict performance freshman year." I would think working hard in high school and getting good grades despite low test scores would be a more accurate predictor but tests seem to be taken pretty seriously down there. Lots of applicants so it's a good year to bump up their stats... | |

| Congrats to all of you who got in!! And to those who did not: life still goes on, I am sure everyone will find the right college.
I am really nervous reading your stats, because my test scores are kinda low but I'll retake them in the summer. I'll probably apply for UM early action (was that the not binding one?!) this year. Ahhhh senior year seems so close.. =/ | |

| Yes, EA is the not-binding one...
I got in as a Biology major, though I'm not sure if I should go to UM or GaTech...
Anyone care to try to convince me into UM?  | |
