<p>Congratulations! Are you still considering other schools, or is UM your top choice?</p>

<p>Thanks! UM is my favorite out of all schools that I have visited, but I am still waiting on a couple schools to respond with their decisions & fin-aid info.</p>

<p>Got mine today too. :) :) :)</p>

<p>Did either of you guys get scholarship info?</p>

<p>HEY! I got my acceptance today too! Im not about to go through that whole survey thing though lol. My sats were 1330(2000). WGPA:4.06 I did get scholarship info, Bill5. I got the 50% one.</p>

<p>hmm I was in the top 10% of my class. I put hispanic on the app. I had no hooks honestly. I just filled up the EC space on the app (no insane resume or anything like that), no legacies. There much more about test scores and crap but I dont feel like writing them now.</p>

<p>congrats again to all!</p>

<p>I got into the business program, but a friend of mine got into the 6 Year Medical program w/ 15K. I dont know how good it is tho..</p>

<p>My D got accepted EA, but suddenly we received a letter saying she has been awarded a 1/3 merit scholarship!! So anyone out there who didn't get money up front, there's still hope.</p>

<p>iceman, do you mean 15k / year?</p>

<p>I don't think I qualified for the merit aid they gave me. The minimums were like top 1%, and A+ average. (Neither of which I have)</p>

<p>iceman,</p>

<p>the HPME, which I think was the one you were talking about that your friend got into is actually a very good program. It's highly regarded even up here (in Vermont) so I'm sure it's even more prestigious in Florida.</p>

<p>I GOT IN!!!!!!! 3/4 scholarship</p>

<p>WOW! Congrats on the big bucks guys! I'm so envious of all of you!</p>

<p>hopefully they can hook me up with a transfer scholarship...any transfers here get scholarships yet?</p>

<p>brassmonkey52088 yeah, I live in MA and I know everyone holds that program in high regards, I recieved the Ashe scholarship(3/4), does anyone know if that is the highest scholarship given?</p>
