Class of 2021 Discussion

Hi everyone! I know decisions for UM are coming out soon, so if anyone has any questions or anything, I’d love to answer! I’m a member of the class of 2020. I hope you all have a lovely time deciding!

Thanks @carrottopga ! How do they usually notify students? Snail mail, phone calls, school portal or email?

Hi @sabersunshine ! They typically notify through the main portal (canelink -> student center -> communication center) which I know is super confusing. Our web presence is seriously lacking… Anyways, I also received an email around the same time as the canelink message.

@carrottopga Hi, my S is awaiting a decision. Any idea how many students they are looking to take?

I believe they are looking for a class of around 16-18, but there are some classes that end up being a bit smaller! Hope this helps.

@carrottopga My D got wait listed last night. Do you have any idea how many students get wait listed and what her chance may be of getting accepted?

@BandMom55 I’m not sure how many are on the wait list, but I don’t think it would hurt to ask the odds, though!

@Carrotopga do you know if they have accepted students days for MT students? I think we are going to plan a visit and I will call and ask but thought I’d ask you too.

@Spike27 We do not have specific days, but you can always call or email and schedule a visit pretty much any time! You can observe some classes and have one of us take you around the department and everything. I’d highly recommend it - really getting to see what the program was all about was what sold me. Congrats, and I hope to see you here in Miami next year! Let me know if you need anything.
