University of Miami Class of 2023

@multicultural01 Are you saying that U Miami applicants pull their applications if they get into UF or FSU?

@SlimJim005 that’s usually the case

Wow. Then that actually might be better for us. I’m OOS and didn’t apply to UF or FSU.

Ur right I totally didn’t think about that. The instagram still says late Jan early feb so there is hope

@Freakingout23 yes, i visited twice. i had a bad math grade junior year, so i’m thinking they probably wanted to see my semester grades before making a decision on me

This is not necessarily a UM question but a FAFSA question. Has anyone received an email with a college making a correction to your FAFSA? If so, any idea of why? Thanks.

@BigHerms Believe it or not, colleges can make changes to your FAFSA for any one of a number of reasons. Sometimes they will raise your EFC and sometimes they will lower it.

If a college raised your EFC I would call immediately to ask why.

@BigHerms I got the same email today.

@Nic00 might wnat to check your efc, ours went up 1616

@BigHerms If your EFC doubled I would get on the phone with FA offices right away. Thats very unfortunate.

@STEM2017 I was shocked and exaggerated. Went up 1616 and still don’t know why

@BigHerms where do you look? How do you know if it has been changed?

@BigHerms yours went up $1,616? or $16,160

@Nic00 you have to login to your fafsa and check your efc.

1616

But I believe that pushed my D over the edge for any type of help besides merit

@BigHerms What number do you think would be a cutoff for any aid?

@BigHerms We got the same notification of ā€œyour schoolā€ making a change to our son’s FAFSA today, but it doesn’t say which school made a change. My husband hasn’t checked it yet, so I don’t know what it is or which school did it.

The bad news is that it seems U Miami is making changes to some people’s FAFSA. The good news is that this could be a sign of acceptance, otherwise why would they tamper with your financial info?

No change of FAFSA here… :frowning:

I’m hoping they come out soon
