<p>First of all, why should the fact that your gay have anything to do with anything? To be honest, I do not think you are a good candidate for Miami. You need a B+/A-/A average to get into Miami and higher SAT scores, in your case like a 1400 level because of your low GPA.</p>
<p>Generally, an 84 average would be too low for Miami, but since you mentioned a difficult private school, their grading policies may be tougher than the norm, in which case, the GPA would be acceptable. As BruinsJEW stated, I wouldn’t focus on my sexuality, unless it somehow relates to your character strengths (for instance, if coming out in that school took an unusual amount of bravery or independence).</p>
