University of Miami Class of 2023

@ecart17 did you visit?

I got deferred

From CA
EA political science major
1360 SAT, 3.28 UW, 3.72 W
12 APs/Honors
LOTS of ECs

but i can’t just visit umiami any day i want like it’s a big trip. i feel like that’s really unrealistic and unfair if we got deferred just because they believe we didn’t show interest by visiting campus… i mean there’s no supplement essay to express interest.

Also tbh i would much rather they reject me now than waiting for two more months only to see another rejection like…

@sagh527 the only interest they keep track of is early decision

@student1151 that’s actually false, seeing as early decision is the way to show the absolute MOST interest they wouldn’t need to track demonstrated interest only with the most interested applicants. Private schools like Tulane and Miami care about demonstrated interest from applicants of all types. I’m not saying it’s fair but it is what it is

There are other ways to show demonstrated interest besides visiting, write your AO an email and explain how much you want to go. It can’t hurt

@sagh527 I agree, I’ve been crying/upset ab it since seeing my decision I don’t know how I can handle being straight up rejected after waiting again… ik it’s not the end of the world and I’ll end up where I’m supposed to be but it’s still brutal. I’m very happy tho for those accepted congrats!
