University of Miami is my first choice, and I want to major in political science.
What are my chances to get in to University of Miami if I apply early action? How much financial aid/scholarships (if any) would I receive?</p>
<p>sorry that i wrote university of miami at the end. i copied and pasted a post from the university of miami forum.</p>
<p>I would say your EC’S are great, however your gpa is a little low.
Aim for 3.67 at least
besides that, your in.</p>
<p>is it possible to get into american with my gpa?</p>
<p>your GPA should be higher.</p>
<p>i know it should be higher, but would i have a chance to get in with the stats i have right now?</p>
<p>Maybe yes, maybe no. It’s really hard to say, but I would say no although you have a good SAT. If you could spring your gpa up to 3.60, I would say you are in.</p>
<p>If you apply ED (binding) to Umiami, you have a better chance…same with American…</p>
<p>I think you can get in, but try and get it higher.</p>
<p>My SAT superscored is now 1370/2030. What are my chances now?</p>
<p>Just boost your gpa a bit and make sure to stay active in leadership positions on campus.</p>
