Hey, I was wondering what my chances of getting into UM are?
I have two leadership positions at school and one at my church (HOSA Treasurer, Tuba Section leader in the marching band and audio leader at church)
I have a 4.3 weighted GPA and 3.5 unweighted
I am number 47 out of 670 kids in my junior class (Top 10%)
I have taken 7 AICE classes and have passed all my exams
I recently took the ACT and received a 23 which I do plan on taking again since I know it is not that good.
I will be taking the SAT this year in march
My grades, for the most part, have been good but freshman year math was bad as I received a D one semester but just that once.
I am on track for receiving my AA degree before I graduate high school
I also have 300+ volunteer hours
This is the UF forum…
You will get a better response in the UM forum. UM is at least as selective as UF, but they put more focus on academics, especially test scores, while UF is a bit more holistic with a bit more focus on nonacademic items.
See table C7 in the common data set:

If you don’t need financial aid you could have a decent shot at getting in. Unfortunately UMiami and some other private colleges do evaluate your need during admissions. If you need a lot of aid you better be at the top of the applicant pool.
