<p>I am a senior from the Philadelphia Area who will be applying EA to U Miami. My SAT's are 620 CR, 600 Math, 620 Writing. My weighted GPA at my public high school is about a 97% which rounds off to about a 3.83 weighted gpa on a 4 point scale. I will have taken 6 AP classes by the time I graduate high school (high number for my school). My class rank is in the top 10% of my class of about 300. My EC's are also very strong: NHS member with over 150 hours of community service, member of my schools varsity baseball and soccer team, member of French Honor Society, president and founder of my schools business club, and I also had a business internship last summer as well as a great experience as a research assistant and volunteer at a major hospital. I also plan on applying to the school of business as a real estate major..any input would be greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>You’re probably in. Not a very hard school to get into with good stats (although your test scores are so-so), But I must ask if you are from Philly and planning on majoring in Business…WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU GO TO MIAMI? The business school here is sub-par to say the least. Yeah the weather is nice but you’ll quickly find the people here are FAR from what you are used to back home. I’m actually trying to get out of here and go to a MUCH better business school in Pennsylvania. Why shoot so low? Maybe Lehigh, Boston College, Villanova would be a better fit. I would really like to hear however why you want to go to Miami. I would be extremely cautious before going to such an unusual school. It is definitely NOT for everyone. And if you have any hope of having a social life, I hope you have a lot of money and are willing to get used to being used for your money. Guy’s at UMiami really have it rough</p>
<p>I haven’t decided where I am going yet, but I do not think I will end up at U Miami anyway. I will either be attending Wake Forest, Maryland, or Pitt (I am thinking Wake is the best choice out of these 4). </p>
<p>However, my interest in Miami was due to their wonderful international business program. I visited the campus a few months ago and fell in love with Coral Gables. I also live about 30 minutes from Villanova and when I visited, I felt the campus was too dry and I also think that the business school, while strong, is a tad bit overrated (I know graduates of VSB who were not all very happy about their job placements). With that being said, U Miami is on the rise and it is becoming a reputable school.</p>
<p>What are your thoughts about how Maryland, Wake, and Pitt compare to Miami?</p>
<p>id say ur probably in. kids from my school have gone there and theyve had the same type of numbers</p>
<p>Bumpppppppp</p>
