I just spoke to a Miami One-Stop representative. The letter and brochure were mailed out today. This will show the student’s expected cost of attendance, calculate the Expected Family Contribution, subtract any scholarship awards, then show all awarded grants and work study, and finally show all loans that the student and parents may apply for. Stafford student loans are capped at $5500 freshman year, $6500 sophomore year, and $7500 junior and senior years. Federal Direct Plus Loans are available to parents for up to the remaining cost of attendance.
Thanks for the info; we’ve been watching for the letter!
Anybody receive their letter yet? We only live an hour from Oxford, so if they really mailed them Monday I would think we’d have it by now. (Although I haven’t checked mail yet today.)
We are in Arizona, so I am not too surprised that we have not received the letter yet. Certainly, everyone in Ohio or Indiana should have received their letters by now.
We’re in Indiana; no letter yet here either.
Illinois - no letter here either. Really hoping it arrives soon as my D would really like to push the button on a school choice soon!
Ohio, no letter either
Well they said that we would have our letter by the end of the week here in Arizona. Saturday’s mail arrived and nothing from Miami.
Ohio - son got his letter today.
@buckeyekcub When was the letter postmarked?
We’re in Cincinnati and DD also received her letter today. Stamp dated March 23rd. Postmark appears to be March 25.
Scholarship amount was equal to the initial “at least x” letter that she received back in December. We didn’t submit a FAFSA as she wouldn’t qualify for any need-based aid.
Cincinnati here and also got letter today. Same scholarship amount, no need based aid added. We’re going to appeal his scholarship amount as was disappointing given their posted ranges, etc. (31 ACT, 4.0uw GPA, $7k instate)
It was postmarked the 23rd but I find it hard to believe it was mailed out that day. Shouldn’t take mail 5 days to get from Oxford to Columbus!! 
It’s 118 miles from Oxford to Columbus, so that’s 23.6 miles per day. We are 1774 miles away, so we should expect our letter in 75 days. I guess we should just chill until June 5. 
Someone above mentioned appealing a scholarship amount. If done reasonably, is this a viable option? I kind of think we’re a tad bit low at 17K OOS for a 33 ACT, 4.0 GPA, multiple AP classes. We’re not in line for financial aid, but I would have like to have seen a little more based on those numbers compared to their chart and the other amounts I’ve seen online here. We’re pricing out 2 1/2 times net what our in-state school would run. On the other hand maybe 33 is fairly commonplace nowadays at MU and we should be happy and I don’t want to seem ungrateful. I know MU is the better choice but this is a lot of cash.
@jakedog13 Your statistics are pretty close to those of my OOS (Arizona) son, who got $20k per year, but no Honors. He had a 33 on the ACT (34 Math, 35 Science). Also a National AP Scholar (including 5s on BC Calculus, Biology, Physics-Mechanics, Physics-E&M, and Computer Science), NM commended, Varsity Basketball starter and captain, two-year hospital volunteer, paid work experience, 3.53/4.0 cumulative GPA from one of the toughest high schools in America, 3.88 junior year GPA. We price out about $9,000 higher than ASU or U of A Honors with scholarships.
My son OOS got offered 18K per year and honors program. He had 35 ACT, 4.0, NMS. We don’t qualify for financial aid and were hoping for full tuition merit award based on their chart. We are going to Make it Miami next week for our first visit to campus so we will see how he likes it.
Received our award letter today - they were no help financially (other than loans and initial scholarship) even though we applied for FA. This make Miami completely unaffordable, which is unfortunate, and therefore off the table. Good luck to everyone!
OOS, ACT 34, $18,000 and honors
The burro arrived today in Arizona with the Miami envelope. The merit award was unchanged and my son was eligible for a $5500 student loan. Pretty anticlimactic.
