Has anyone received notification of acceptance for Fall 2016 yet? Our son applied in early October and we weren’t sure if Miami waited until the EA deadline passed before notifying applicants.
TIA
According to the Miami website EA decisions will be released Feb 1st.
Right. I read that as notification by Feb 1st. Many other schools have similar dates, but have already sent acceptance letters. Was curious if Miami was similar, but will sit tight until the 1st week of February. Thanks for the feedback.
I understand where your coming from. We’ve received notification from all D’s other early applications. Perhaps someone from previous years can confirm whether or not that deadline means by or on February 1.
Last year people began to receive acceptances (both online and in the mailbox) starting December 20th.
Last year, my d applied to Miami EA and received an acceptance email and letter around December 20. She received merit aid info shortly thereafter.
Thanks everyone!
@Violinviolamom Do you know what date she applied at approximately and can you list your stats.
I’m interested in what type of candidates they accept around December 20th. Hopefully I get one that early I applied on Halloween.
@LeicisbestI don’t remember the date she applied. I doubt it was before Halloween.
GPA 4.0, 5 APs, ACT 30, Very strong ECs, Strong Essay
She also showed a lot of interest in the university - had visited several times to meet with professors, had a music audition scheduled, attended the Bridges program (she is not a minority). She had several friends apply with similar stats who were also notified early. Best of luck to you! It’s a great school - she loves it there.
Circling back around on this, son received notification of acceptance in his portal this morning. The online acceptance letter also included an invitation to the honors program. He applied 10/9 stats are 4.2 GPA 34 ACT w/ 16 honors/AP classes. No mention of any potential merit scholarships at this point.
Best of luck to everyone awaiting notification.
Where is the notification? When logging in, will the status re application change from “completed” to something else?
You won’t be able to miss it. After logging in to the portal, there will be a status update at the top with the link to an acceptance letter.
@HonoursDad when you get the acceptance letter by snail mail there will most likely be a separate letter with merit scholarship info. I got both today after seeing the online acceptance on Saturday.
That’s awesome @kayleighbrown! Congrats on your success and thanks for the info.
We got the acceptance packet but no merit info! Hopefully tomorrow.
Thank you! @HonoursDad
Mine was on my portal on the 19th. Honors invite. 4.77 GPA, 1 out of 800 class rank, 33 ACT, lots of leadership and community service, some state and national awards, and heavily involved in music. I know they send out merit scholarships separately soon after acceptance on the portal. I don’t think I’ll be attending unless I get a full tuition scholarship. I applied to UCLA and UC Berkeley and if I get into either of those they would be hard to turn down unless it would be far less expensive to go to Miami. I really like the idea of getting out of California for a few years though.
Accepted on the 19th! No mention of honors, and I think merit comes separately in the mail? Has anyone received it yet? 29 ACT (30 superscore). 3.84 UW/4.0 W. 7 AP/honors, lots of activities and leaderships.
I got my acceptance packet 2 days ago! applied early November, hope this helps
I still haven’t heard anything from Miami, I applied early action.
