Applied early action</p>
<p>Everything seems pretty good. However, your GPA seems a little low for the []_[]. Applying early action should help with that. I think you have a shot though! Good luck!</p>
<p>Man, I wish my high school had a marine biology club… But in all seriousness, I think you have a shot. Do you have a weighted GPA? The number of AP classes you’ve taken indicate a pretty tough workload, which would be reflected in your weighted GPA. Other than that, your normal GPA is lower than admissions normally likes to see, but your ACT and SAT should help to bring those up. What’s the breakdown on your SAT (remember that Miami doesn’t look at the writing section)? Depending on that breakdown, I’d say you have a decent chance of getting in.</p>
<p>P.S. If you have any questions at all about the Marine Science Program, let me know, I’m a junior right now majoring in Marine Science, Biology, and Mathematics. Please feel free to contact me!</p>
Hi there! I wish I knew how to send you a direct message on here but i guess this works? I was just accepted to UMiami’s for marine biology, but I never had a chance to visit. Could you tell me more about your experience in the program, about any research or internships you’ve had, and wether you think the high tuition is worth it? Thank you in advance for your help!!
