@goldmidnight7 My student has not given me permission to do that so I will speak in generalities. Definitely a top 1-2% for ACT. All A’s with 9 AP classes. National recognition for 2 varied activities. Many state level awards. 100 plus volunteer hours. Numerous leadership positions at school and city level. Very active in the arts plus forensics/debate. No sports since 9th grade. We don’t qualify for anything need based so Miami’s merit was a huge draw. It was a perfect fit beyond that and we were going to find a way as OOS to make it work no matter the PF outcome. I am sorry you missed the Honors/UASP deadline. I know some of the UASP are stronger than others as far as how much they do. Our student is not pre-med, but there is a physician in our house and they were very impressed with several pre-med students who spoke during a general session at Make it Miami and at a UASP presentation. Seems like their med school admission stats were pretty high.as I am sure Baylor’s are as well. Since Miami is very undergraduate focused and has few grad students, underclassmen can get involved in research from first year. Campuses are so different so I would think you need to determine which one fits you best. Good luck in making your decision. If you feel like you aren’t getting all the help you need, go straight to their director of admissions. She is awesome and would definitely help you get to the right people.
