Colleges and Universities A-Z Miami University - Ohio

<p>I go to a competitive high school in the Northeast (out of state), and I am in the top 25%. My GPA for each year is as follows (unweighted/weighted):
Frosh: 3.2/3.2
Soph: 3.8/4.0
Junior: 3.6/4.1</p>

<p>My frosh GPA was that low because I was going through an emotional conflict, so I had to miss a few weeks of school. I completely solved this conflict and turned my life around (and my grades reflect this). I would talk about this on the Special Circumstances section of the app. I also won an award for this (along with 7 other awards in my time in high school). My SAT scores are as follows:
CR: 620
Math: 610
Writing: 650</p>

<p>Extra Curriculars:
Ultimate Frisbee Club (Capt. senior year)
Winter Track (lettered senior year)
Spring Track (lettered senior year)
Student Awareness Program (substance abuse prevention group)
Business and Investing Club</p>

<p>Comm Service:

Helped at my local Catholic church</p>

<p>Senior Class Schedule:

Honors British Literature
Honors Spanish 3
Honors Social Science
College Prep Calculus
College Prep Physics (2nd science)</p>

<p>So do I stand a chance at Miami?</p>

<p>Sure - sounds like you'd fit right in.<br>
To get the out of state scholarship, you are supposed to be in the top 15% of your class. And to be in Oxford Scholars program, top 10% with SAT of 1250 (or is it 1200?) math and verbal. So I think you are a viable candidate to get in, but not for the merit scholarships.</p>

<p>Oxford Scholars is 1280 SAT/29 ACT and top 10% of class. I don't think you should have trouble getting into Miami.</p>
