<p>My D is a freshman in the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science at Miami. There were only 100 students this year (in all majors) admitted to this school. At their seperate orientation session they were told that they had the highest GPAs and scores of all the colleges at the University. This program is also the most rigorous at the University.</p>
<p>They seem to be score sensitive at Miami, so I really do think you need to work hard to bring your test scores up. Other than that, you look very good.</p>
<p>That being said, my daughter absolutely LOVES Miami! She has a guaranteed transfer to Cornell for next year and after just 4 weeks at the school says that there is NO WAY she wants to leave and go to Cornell.</p>
<p>TIP to all readers: Miami gives out much more generous merit aid early action. My daughter got a Dean’s Scholarship ($16,000) early action and we heard of kids who had similar scores to hers who did not get merit scholarships in regular decision.</p>
