@bulldoglover that’s a very good question and one many would love to have Miami answer. Seems very strange what they did this year with merit money.
To those discussing waitlisted versus deferred: the word is Deferred (not differed) there is a difference in the meaning.
How did they notify you of this nomination? Through your personal email or through cane link?
@rossie03 Congratulations! May I ask her stats?
To everyone who still hasn’t gotten an admissions notification this is what my admissions counselor told me.
Hi Ian,
Thank you for reaching out! You are still being considered for Early Action we just had a few students who for whatever reason didn’t process through with the initial release of EA decisions. We are aiming to have your decision to you within the next week.
I sincerely apologize for the delay and any inconvenience this has caused.
@field2life there isn’t one that I know of, but if you can find enough people to make one, I’d definitely like to have a group chat or something! I’m getting so anxious waiting for the scholarship weekend+interview!
@UnscriptedXI @dreamchaser2k18 how were you notified of your nomination and when?
I was notified by email. They told me a few day after I was accepted on February 1st. There’s nothing about my scholarship invitation on canelink tho.
@nathsha 3.9 UW gpa and 1340 SAT.
We were totally surprised she got the scholarship.
Some of her friends with higher SAT scores didn’t get any 
Has anyone received a letter in the mail yet?
Also, is it less likely for business students to get merit aid? I haven’t seen anyone in the business school in this thread that received merit aid.
I’m just a little frustrated at the lack of merit aid as Tulane gave me 30k per year. It is hard for me to justify going to Miami over Tulane although I don’t necessarily need the money.
@Mikemargo11 Same situation. Tulane gave me 27k either and while my family can afford UM without it why pay more? Especially because Tualne is equal to or surpasses UM depending on the major
Then go to Tulane @Kd6410
“why pay more?”
Idk about you but I’d pay the 27k more to spend 4 years in Miami than Louisiana if my parents could afford it
@strafed If TU were in like Baton Rouge then I might but New Orleans is awesome
@Mikemargo11 that’s interesting because I also got a scholarship from Tulane but nothing from Miami. Business school for both.
It is almost impossible to figure out why some schools give scholarships to particular students and not to others, just as it is impossible to figure out why some schools accept who they do. My D received a very substantial scholarship to Miami and nothing from Tulane. I know kids who were accepted to Ivies and not accepted to University of Michigan. Different schools place different values on the different parts of a student application. Go to the one that appeals to you the most and makes the most financial sense for you.
@strafed for mikemargo11 it’s $27,000 per year more, thus $108,000 more to attend Miami which is not any better than Tulane for business. As a student planning to major in business, selecting Miami at a cost of at least $108,000 more would be a poor business decision. But if money is not an issue for that applicant, then it does not need to be a business decision and he can go where he would feel most comfortable–based on fit.
@trackmbe3 I know math, thanks. We were talking about if money wasn’t a problem
Hello. New user here. Does anyone know when the physical letter/package will arrive? It’s been a whole week. Thanks and congrats!
