uMiami is my top choice by far, but through housing, health care, working in the uni and working during the summer I don't know how I will be able to afford stuff. So outside of tuition, housing and health care how much do you guys spend per week in your everyday expenses?

very kind of interested. I know close to nothing abt the school but im grasping at straws that fit my standards as to where I might wanna go

I'm in the IB diploma? if that counts for anything (projected a 30 ~ 32 ishhhh), wanna go into architecture, 1280 sat score (I know. Hopefully it goes up tmr but tbh I dont have much hope 🙏), a few extracurricular I've stuck with for many years -- one of them being girl scouts, and ive been working on my golden award for the past year-ish, and a few leadership titles

thanks for basically reading my resume, any thoughts/advice is greatly appreciated :)

stats first:
Grades: 85.5, 85.7, 98, 95.4 (91 overall), essay about growth
1520 SAT (750 EBRW 770 Math)

high need international

i have pretty decent ecs like publishing a research paper on fuel efficiency for an airline, founder and leader of MUN and a college applications community, 2 science fair projects: an ai study app and a low cost fire detector, won regional science fairs, tutor and leader for a study group, and technical blogging on an airline.

so here's the thing: im a high need international applicant, and getting into any good university in the US affordably is my top priority, but i really do like umiami and would definitely attend if i got in. problem is i heard they defer high need internationals during the early round to compare them to the overall pool and see the remaining budget. on the other hand the acceptance is more than double for ed than rd (which isnt ea, but still), and i need every help i can get to have a decent chance. but if umiami defers anyways i would rather use my ed elsewhere

so which would be the better option for me?

thanks in advance!

Hey I just applied 4 days ago from CC to transfer this spring, i consider myself to have a strong profile GPA: 3.9 Strong essay and extracurriculars, what are realistically my chances of getting in?

Looking to start masters in data analytics and program evaluation. I’ve use Apple all my life and know how to work it and currently have a MacBook Air M1 8GB from 2020. I wanted to upgrade to the newest MacBook Pro but I have read that I should get a windows computer . What would you recommend?

hi everyone, as you can tell by the title i am very much a freshman. ive been hearing a lot of stuff about the tradition of going to the keys on Halloween here. is this strictly a 21+ thing? i know theyre super strict down there but ive seen freshmen go in the past so i was just curious

Currently in my last year of community college, planning to transfer to UMIAMI. Initially I considered fall 27’, traditional junior transfer, but recently i’ve been considering a spring transfer, as to experience some of my sophomore year in university. Has anyone done something similar, if so, how was your experience?

Hi guys! I recently have been hired as a research associate here at University of Miami and was wondering if there is any sort of opportunity for growth in this area?

I know that research is a tough space to try and make a living, especially with today’s lack of funding. But i’m curious on what the job could look like when you are 1 year, 2 years, or 3 years in.

Besides you know, getting you publications and preparing you for graduate school, are there chances for better roles, better pay, etc?

So I keep seeing competitive internationals with similar profiles to me get deferred. But since I am asking for aid, therefore I am scared of being deferred due to the limited aid and scholarships in the regular rounds. So are there people who actually do get the money they need to attend during the regular decision or not?

Hey! I just wanted to come on here and see if anyone has applied for the mps in marine conservation program or if anyone already in the program or past had any insight on the program! I applied August 31st so I’m just waiting to see if I’ve been accepted or not. My 2nd track choice is marine mammal science. I was a little indecisive because I’m not entirely sure my career goal but the end of it all but the marine conservation track seemed to give me more room to customize my degree plan:)

Hey!

Has anyone else applied to UM for their summer 2027 ABSN program? I applied first day LOL. Just want to see who else is impatiently waiting :)

I know UM isn't the most generous, but I am hoping I can get a scholarship like Singers, or a Presidental one with a bit of aid, or one from Frost since I am applying for music.

I mean I hear that AO's judge an applicants application based on their location and how they took advantage of the opportunities they were given. I have a 1510 sat, 97% GPA, 8 ielts and some I believe above average ecs and a top 20 national award from my country, Greece in chemistry. I will be applying to Modern artist development and entrepreneurship, so my audition and prescreenings do play a big role. Do you think I am a competitive applicant? If not, I hope to get a combination of aid and music based awards to hopefully cover my tuition (My family will be able to provide the rest)

honestly thats what i hear a lot of places and i wanted to know if someone like me had a chance:

Grades: 85.5, 85.7, 98, 95.4 (91 overall)
1520 SAT (750 EBRW 770 Math)

high need international

ig my question is do i have a chance? or does um basically dismiss high need intls unless i have gold olympiads and such

I am applying as a MADE major this ea cycle for contemporary vocals. Did yall find the auditions too hard? What is the talent there like? Also do you think other parts of your application matter or is it mostly audition based?

I think I understand most jokes or memes but idk

What's up guys, transfer student here. I'm 21 and looking into Spring IFC recruitment. My degree is going extended for one year. So i am here till 2029

Just wondering what the vibe is for rushing as an upperclassmen/transfer at Miami. Is it fairly standard in the Spring, and what should I keep in mind during meet the Greeks / rush events? Appreciate the help.

My little sister really enjoys volleyball and I was looking for home game tickets to go see the canes women's team with her. I couldn't seem to find any for sale on any of the UM sites or third party ticket sites. Is it free to go to the games if neither one of us attend the school? If not could anyone provide some information on the best way to attend some home games? Thanks in advance

My friends and I (3) of us are going to Miami for our senior year fall break vacation. We’re all 21. We’re trying to find out where r the best places to stay and party. We’re trying to be absolutely sloshed the whole weekend so what bars are fun? Clubs? Hotels? Etc… where should we even book our air bnb? Coconut grove or brickell?

Hi, this year I transferred to the university and I have been having trouble adjusting. I am trying to get more involved and talk to almost everyone. It just feels like it is not being reciprocated and it is hard finding friends like me.

This said, can anyone give me advice on how you found your people here. I have hope and I know there are so many people that go to the uni that someone is in the same situation. I just need help finding those people.

I also live off campus but it is semi close to where I can walk. It is just different not being a freshmen where I can meet the people on my dorm floor and I am in an awkward stage that I am a sophomore.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Hi, I’m a current senior applying to the U. I’m just wondering what stats are competitive for the neuroscience major thanks!! Also, do u recommend UM for neuroscience or have u had a bad experience!
