Could I get into University of Miami

<p>3.1 GPA
26 ACT
A lot of community service and activities
My dad went there so i guess i'm considered "legacy" or whatever, (he had even worse grades than me and got in)
I think i'd be able to get good recommendations and write a good essay</p>

<p>Do you think I could get in?</p>

<p>Honestly??? University of Miami is a HUGE reach for you. While your ACT is basically okay (not great, but it could’ve been doable) your GPA is far under U of M’s norm. And the legacy thing is nice, but it probably won’t help you overcome that GPA. I’m sorry. Oh and just because your dad got in with worse grades doesn’t mean you will. College admissions have changed a hell of a lot in the past 20-30 years.</p>

<p>^^ especially at UMiami. People that got scholarships 10 yrs ago wouldn’t even get in nowadays. Definitely a reach.</p>
