University of Miami Official Class of 2018 EA Results

<p>I spoke to someone in admissions. All decisions posted prior to 5 PM are the true decisions but the website crashed due to such a large number of people checking for a decision, so all decisions will remain the same but as of right now they are not available to be seen due to the crash in the system.</p>

<p>@jpet96 Will they be available at all tonight? such as at 5pm?</p>

<p>@futurepsych0808 if you don’t mind me asking, what are your stats?</p>

<p>oh! and congratulations :)</p>

<p>@novagurl123 They did not give me a specified time, to be honest. My acceptance was up at 9 AM this morning and disappeared when I looked again at 3. From what other people have said on here, I am assuming they will all be up by 5 but I am not positive. </p>

<p>Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.): Definitely leadership positions, volunteering, high school type </p>

<p>Strengths: Essay, critical reading score</p>

<p>Weaknesses: DEFINITELY my math SAT score. All of my math grades throughout high school as well. Also, my freshman year GPA (low-mid 80’s) is definitely a weakness; it is not representative of my sophomore (94%), junior (90%), and senior year (95% first semester) GPAs,</p>

<p>Why you think you were deferred: Math SAT, my grades in HS math classes… SAT in general I guess. Test taking isn’t a strong suit of mine. I’d say GPA , too.</p>

<p>Where else were you accepted: University of Vermont, Ithaca College, Hofstra University</p>

<p>Comments: I wish UM would take into consideration the writing score of the SAT!! I did relatively well on that part!</p>

<p>I just called admissions (who sounded like they are exhausted from this mess) and they confirmed what has been reported here. Packages went out in the mail yesterday, decisions started posting in CaneLink this morning, they had a problem with the system, they took decisions down off of Canelink, they were told several hours ago that the problem would be fixed by this afternoon, they are still waiting. :)) </p>

<p>She said worst case scenario, you should receive your package in the mail soon. </p>

<p>I’m not really sure why I am anxious to see it. My son got the Stamps/Singer invite so I’m sure he got in. And from what everyone on here is saying, the amounts for Presidential scholarships are not showing on the letter so I won’t really get any additional information but I guess it just feels good to see it.</p>

<p>Oh and I got a 5 on APUS and a 4 on AP Psych last year</p>

<p>@jrmama496 - feel exactly the same way X2</p>

<p>at seven o’clock this morning, I checked my CaneLink and saw that I got accepted! However, I just hopped online and the decision disappeared from the communications section. Does anybody know what is up with that? I’m actually kind of nervous! Also, in the acceptance letter I read this morning, I don’t recall any mention of merit scholarships? Did anyone find out about merit scholarships in their acceptance letter? Or does that come with the package in the mail? </p>

<p>@jrmama496 So the decisions won’t be up at 5pm because they are still sorting out the mess?</p>

<p>Just called and the guy said the same thing they have been saying about the letters being mailed out however he said that at latest they’d be on canelink by 7-8</p>

<p>I asked her if she thought it would be fixed today and she said they had told her that it would be by this afternoon but it is already late and it hasn’t been fixed so…</p>

<p>I was also admitted when I checked this morning to undergraduate business. For those saying they received the presidential scholarship, was that on the online letter this morning or from the letter in the mail? My letter online stated scholarship notification would not be until late March. </p>

<p>Well for students who got rejected/deferred, I believe our CaneLinks never had the letter disappear.</p>

<p>stats: 3.6 gpa, 31 ACT</p>

<p>rejected but at least i can now save like 30k a year :stuck_out_tongue: (except umichigan)</p>

<p>This is aggravating </p>

<p>Decisions are up!!!</p>
