@JerseyParents I hope you called & asked why it’s so off. Could it be that you rec’d a Presidential scholarship (& not FA)? My son received a scholarship that effectively brought cost down to our EFC, but it isn’t technically FA…
Did anyone get an invitation to PRISM!
Anyone going to Cane for a Day on Tuesday April 3rd? I never got a registration email and keep getting transferred when I call them. I am from NJ and already have a plane ticket and hotel but have no information on where to go on the 3rd. Does anyone know where/when the event starts? Would be a lot of help until I can reach them. Thanks!
Also does anyone know if UM is typically this bad with putting people on hold and transferring them and never calling them back? I called them three or four times about verifying my registration since I never got an email and every time they transfer me to a voicemail and never call back when I leave a detailed message. Is this typical or just because they are very busy? Almost makes me question whether or not I want to go there…just curious
@accrobranche I’m going later in that week!! Also, I received a registration email like a minute after I RSVP’d so that’s strange. It’s also weird that you’ve been put on hold. I called today to cancel one of my admitted students events and they answered and solved the problem right away.
@accrobranche I recently received an email from UM… you must have too… about the visiting days and registering etc.
I just committed to UMiami today!! A problem I’m having is applying for housing. When I try to apply it says “Either your session has timed out or you do not have access to this application.” Is this just because I put down my deposit today??
@AcademiaSavvy It took about 24 hours to process my daughter’s registration before the housing portal opened up for her. Try tomorrow.
@Msclvr721 Okay thank you!
@AcademiaSavvy @Msclvr721 yay I committed too! what major did you/your child apply to? I’m a neuroscience app!
@BrKmNk Dope!! I’m chemistry w/ pre-med!! Did you get an invite for PRISM?
Don’t think I did? Where do you check? @AcademiaSavvy
On the UM site, theres a place to apply? did you?
@BrKmNk I received an email inviting me to the program, although I never applied which is weird. I’m not sure if I want to join though, because the first two years academically are really challenging and people call it the GPA killer. At the same time though, I’ve heard you become good friends with other PRISM students because you’re taking all the classes together and you form good relationships w/ professors. Also, you get first pick at research opportunities and funding, but still the first two years are really rigorous and I want to have a good foundation for the MCAT, which IDK if I’ll have by cramming it into two yeas.
The required courses are slightly off track for my future intentions, alas the reason why I didnt receive an invite I guess because my stats are pretty good.
“PRISM brings together the top freshmen majoring in biochemistry, biology, chemistry, microbiology, marine biology, marine science, neuroscience, physics, physical therapy, and other natural sciences.” I did research so maybe that’s why? Anyways, it doesn’t matter. Are you doing random roommate selection or trying to find one on your own?
I actually have no clue tbh, I’ll probably do the random roommate selection as I am a picky personality and my traits must fit with my roomie.
Also waiting for the deposit to be registered too…
Did you finish all that stuff yet? @AcademiaSavvy
@BrKmNk I assume it was since I gained access to the housing application this morning.
Anyone heard from HPM?
Done all the housing/meal plan thing. Do we just wait for now?
