<p>@nate68 yeah it seems like so far only singer/stamps people have gotten scholarship info, which I guess would make sense since those all seem to be in the 22k+ range and would be easier to figure out than the rest of us?</p>
<p>@smokygiraffe Thanks for the response, your explanation seems logical to me. I’m disappointed that we will have to wait until late March though. Surprised it would take that long. I’m from Pennsylvania and my parents will allow me to fly down for a visit if I receive a decent scholarship. </p>

<p>@melanied9 I applied to business and received my acceptance about 40 minutes ago. Just a tip, I had to sign out and sign in again before the letter appeared. Refreshing the page did not seem to work for me. </p>
<p>My communication center doesn’t say anything about EA, just “UGRD App Recvd” and “UGRD App Recvd Letter”. But in their confirmation email months back, they confirmed my application being EA. Is mine just weird?</p>
<p>Just got accepted (32 ACT). Anyone know how competitive EA is? Also, my parents aren’t convinced Miami is a good school and they still think of it as U of South Beach. But it’s gotten so much better recently right? Isn’t it just as good as Tulane…maybe better?</p>
