<p>I’d make a guess that you are IN and that you’d be offered the 20k scholarship. Maybe the 24k depending on the creds of the rest of the applicant pool.

<p>Note: I was told repeatedly that UM doesn’t consider SAT II scores in making admission decisions - not sure about scholarships. I’ve always felt it can’t hurt to report them, just in case.

My gpa is very low you think i have a chance? so far?"
I’m thinking of transfering to a public school to get my gpa higher?
<p>23455666anna - you should really not hijack another thread to ask about your chances…but beyond that, if you are really serious about attending UM, you will need to turn yourself around academically. To get into UM, you need a gpa around 3.5 or better, SAT’s in the 1350 miminum range - check out the admissions links on the UM website.</p>
<p>Also, based on what you’ve told us, it seems you have some passion about the performing arts - not sure UM is a good fit for that? You’ve got some thinking and key decision making to do over the next 2 years, regardless of what schools you are planning to apply to. Talk to your guidance counselors.</p>
<p>Were you to keep a GPA like that, I would fear that you would not be able to get into FIU, let alone University of Miami. Most of the kids here have graduated at the top ten percent of their class, and a good 1/3 or more have graduated in the top 5%. If you want to go to UM, you really need to focus, get straight a’s, and score high on the SATs.</p>
