has anyone who got in for early decision received their financial aid package?
Can some one rate me ig
Applied to the school of rosenstiel for marine biology, I got a 29 on my ACT (perf score in English carried that) I have a 3.39uw and 3.78weighted GPA. I take all IB classes and am on track to get the diploma, I have also taken 5 AP classes (chem,apush,apworld,psych, and human geo). I am also the captain of the swim and water polo team while going to regionals for swim. I have my own seaperch engineering team and I am a part of my school. Lastly obtained bright futures so I have a decent chance?

There are many nationally ranked universities that do not use EA. You may apply ED, EDII, or RD. ED and EDII is about yield. Other than being notified earlier by applying EA, without any requirement to commit, what is the difference between EA and RD? The student still gets to shop around. Thus, be on the look out for a considerable amount of âdeferralsâ if there is an increase in the amount of EA applicants as suggested on this board.
Here is UMâs statistics, based upon years 2016 and 2017 (taken from College Board, Big Future):
Applicants: 30,634
Admitted: 10,936
Enrolled: 2,211
This is approximately a 20% yield. By increasing admissions through ED and EDII, the amount of students needing to be admitted EA or RD is reduced, which drives up yield.
Of the above statistics:
ED Applicants: 954
ED Acceptance: 609
Now, with UMâs campaign for students to select EDII, and you see this at other private universities, what if the EDII pool goes to 900, 1,000, 1,300, 1,800. 2,200? The amount needing to be accepted through EA and RD drops significantly, assuming at least 50% or more of the EDII applicants are accepted. I would think, if any EA acceptances go out (I think at the same time as EDII), the tally will first be made for EDII.
I would think that even though some students are accepted ED or EDII, there are those that back-out for one reason or another (and issue between the student, the university, and potentially other universities). This aside, if you are willing to inform the university that you are prepared to pay the full cost, without consideration to aid or scholarship, there is no better way inform the university of your âinterest.â This also provides students on the borderline of acceptance, or under, for an opportunity. Of course, this is what the university wants. Itâs about the university, not the student.
is any other EA applicant not able to view their application status now on canelink mobile?
@sagh527 I can see it on the regular Canelink but canât see it on the Mobile Canelink
@BigHerms were is the application status at on canelink?
where
where
I donât think I have ever had a tab with application status. Just messages saying everything has been received.
@Nic00 log in canelink full site. Click on main menu then self service then student admission then application status. But all it says is application complete and gives the date you applied.
@BigHerms Thank you! I found it.
I called the Admissions Office yesterday, and they just said that decisions for EA applicants should be notified within the next 1-2 weeks. Thatâs not very definitive, but âŠ
So weird I callled today and they said beginning of February. I hope you got the right answer! Good luck!
hi i heard from alot of people that UMiami is coming out either the 15th, 25th or Feb 1st. Does anyone have an idea when its coming out?
Iâm pretty sure the 25th
@kitty72 I called again this morning, and this time, they gave me the same answer that they gave you. Still, I think theyâll let us know around the 25th of January.
on my CaneLink under financial aid it says âinquiry access denied.â is this a sign Iâve been rejected?
@bleedorangebaby no, that message has been there all along
DS does not have that message under financial aid but did have some To DOs pop up today re: CSS profile. Anyone else get anything like that?
