<p>I believe you will be accepted and offered a hefty merit award!!</p>

3

<p>In and very hefty merit...DS was no where near you and got basically a full ride...make sure you check into their scholarship programs for merit</p>

4

<p>This is anything but pathetic. you're overqualified for Miami, look into other schools as well and use Miami as a safety. You seem like you want a Premed track, look into Emory, WashU, John Hopkins, Duke, UNC Chapel Hill, Vanderbilt, etc.</p>

<p>I am majoring in Biology and want to go into Marine Biology. I was deferred from Cornell, still hoping to get in but need other options.</p>

6

<p>Oh in that case, Miami Rosenstiel's school ( I spelt it wrong I think) is one of the BEST! I have a few friends in Marine Biology. But some other schools that are prestigious for Marine Biology are UCSD, University of Hawaii, UCSC, UCLA</p>

7

<p>I already applied to UCSD. I am just afraid they will not give me a cent in aid and think that Miami would possibly do so.</p>

8

<p>Yeah,</p>

<p>That's definitely true. you will receive ALOT more merit and financial aid from UM because of all the alumni and they're grants than you will for UCSD, because it's a struggling UC school that must accommodate the huge instate ratio, who don't even get scholarship.</p>
