<p>I’m not Miami is the right fit for you. A lot of your top choices are urban schools and you said you want “Urban” and while it is the “University of Miami”, it is located in a very affluent Spanish neighborhood in South Miami called Coral Gables, this is not the glitzy and glamorous Miami that is seen in moves and TV shows. However, you have accessibility to that via metrorail which is located very close to campus. Secondly, I’m not feeling confident that your stats will lead you any bearing into Miami. The majority of student graduated at the top 10-15% of their class with middle 50% SATs being in the 1280-1360 range (lower scores do get in). </p>

<p>I’d personally recommend Boston University for you as I think it is more of a school you’re looking for. Also possibly Tulane, though again it is hard to get in there.</p>
