<p>I think you have a really good chance of getting in and getting some decent merit scholarship money. I’d say 20k-24k.</p>

<p>I say you are in, but I do not know for sure on the merit scholarship. </p>

<p>Miami likes to give merit to top 5 to 10% in class. Ranking is important to them. They have much higher standards than the used to. </p>

<p>Good luck to you!</p>
