@materof2 in another Miami U thread
" Today at 2:24 pm edited 2:29PM
I imagine re EA, they will follow suit as with ED, with portal decisions coming out earlier prior to email.
With ED portals will have decisions on 12/1 at 12:01am; and with EA i imagine it’s 12:01am on 12/15.
***Miami is, however, MAILING decision envelopes for ED on 11/29. So, I imagine depending on the mail, applicants living close to Oxford MAY hear as early as 11/30 via US Mail.
I wish all of you and your students the very best of news. "
Yes, ^^ is correct. Note, I said 12:01am, however it’s actally 12:00am, so you’ve just gained a minute. 
Good luck to ALL!!!
Welcome to all the new students!!! Please feel free to ask any and all questions. Those of us with “experience” at Miami can surely lead you in the right direction.
My S17 (Class of 2021) is a mechanical engineering major. My D19 (ED Class of 2023) will study psychology/neuroscience.
@Materof2 How does your son like Mech Engineering at Miami? My son is deciding between Miami and RIT - he likes UCincy’s program, but didn’t like the campus. Loved the campus at Oxford (who doesn’t?), but wasn’t sure if it’s as strong of an engineering program.
@soccerdad72 my son really enjoys the program, and has been challenged by phenomenal professors so far. Miami is growing their program. I hear RIT has a wonderful program. I would visit both programs. Speak to professors and students.
FWIW, I pulled this from Miami’s Page. But I bet RIT has a data set looking at a different parameter and they are top 10. An important thing is the specific engineering program in accredited.

Miami University ranks in the top 30 for colleges with the best undergraduate engineering program
Over the years Miami University has been recognized for its strong academic standing, and this year is no different.
U.S… News & World Report released its “Best Colleges 2019” guidebook, and out of the 60 schools ranked Miami was 3rd in the nation for its commitment to undergraduate teaching.
Miami follows Princeton and Georgia State, making Miami the No. 2 public school in the nation. Miami has been in the top 5 for its commitment to undergraduate teaching for the last 5 years, and looks forward to seeing what the next 5 year holds for the university. To read more about this ranking visit Miami Ranking Article.

Students working in a CEC lab
However, this is not the only recognition that the university received from U.S… News and Report. Miami’s College of Engineering and Computing (CEC) was ranked 30 of 205 schools for its undergraduate engineering program with no doctorate program. This ranking puts CEC in the top 15% of all schools where the bachelor’s/master’s degrees are the highest degree offered from the institution. Parsing the data further, out of public universities on the list Miami is ranked 15th overall and 6th without military academies.
Miami’s commitment to undergraduate teaching expands through the whole university, and can be especially seen in the success of its engineering program in the College of Engineering and Computing. As Miami’s recognition continues to grow, so does the success of its students, we can’t wait to see what the rest of this year holds for the students, and faculty, of Miami University.

@Materof2 Hi, can you describe the social environment, Greek scene,housing and food? Thank you
^^ Miami University was voted a Top 5 college town in America. Robert Frost wrote of Miami as “The most beautiful place that ever there was.” And it’s true. You must visit.
Walk uptown Oxford (a short 2- minute walk from campus), and you will find cool local-owned restaurants and bars, coffee shops, and little stores.
Re social life, there are probably 500 different things to do every weekend. And I’m not exaggerating. From fraternity parties, to house parties, to Improv nights and glow in the dark frisbee on campus. There are buildings like Armstrong where students come in and out at all hours and just hang out, eat, grab a coffee or smoothie, pizza with friends, or hold a study group. There is a big Mega Fair at the beginning of the year, where something like 600 clubs have students at tables and they talk about their club. There is every club sport can you imagine. Other clubs include hiking, skiing, roller hockey, mountain climbing, knitting, glee clubs, quidditch… if you can think it, there’s a club. It seems like every student is active in something.
You asked about Greek Life. It’s something like 30% of students are in a social sorority or fraternity. They are heavily involved in community service and yes, they have fun too! Formal recruitment for freshmen is in February, so it gives the freshmen a chance to acclimate to college life and hopefully meet members in other clubs and activities prior to recruitment.
Housing: Miami has nice large dorm rooms, and the buildings are beautiful. MIAMI was founded in 1809, and some of the structures are from the 1800s and early 1900s. However, most of the dorms are already renovated. All rooms have AC/cozy heat. The dorms are in a quad format, with different quads on campus. It’s like you stepped into a movie when you walk the beautiful campus. Miami unveiled 3 new dorms this years (with architecture and materials made to look they were built in the 1800s but with every modern convenience. The dorms are all coed. The students look out for each other.
The food is delicious. There are different dining halls for different preferences. Western is geared toward students with allergies, so the different stations will say “peanut free” or “gluten free” etc. all the dining halls have scores of options of food every day. There is choose your own stir fry, pizza toppings , steaks, pasta, burgers, chicken, wraps. Some are buffet all-you-can-eat, others are quick grab and go. There is a Starbucks, pizza place, smoothie place and others on campus where students can use their meal card.
The student ID contains all a student needs to swipe into their dorm, eat a buffet, do laundry, make copies, print a paper.
For many reasons, Miami was named one of 8 “Original Public Ivies”. Miami is ranked #1 (or trades places with Princeton #2) as #1 College in America for Teaching. That means that the professors at Miami rank #1 in the nation of all public and private colleges of actually teaching the material. They are passionate about the students. Miami is the #1 university for producing the most Fortune 500 CEOs. Also, they send an exorbitantly high % of graduates to med school. So, the students at Miami receive an excellent education. And all of this while having one of the best college experiences one could imagine.
There’s a quote you will see on many banners around graduation. “To think that in such a place, I lived such a life.”
@Materof2 While I agree Miami is a very good school and Oxford a nice town (many kids from my area go there every year), I want to provide facts for a couple of the statements you made:
Perhaps at some point in time this was true, but Miami does not appear in the recent list of top 30 universities producing the most Fortune 500 CEOs. https://www.kittlemansearch.com/news-blog/colleges-that-produce-the-most-ceos/
The 4 year average of medical school placement is 59.6%. https://miamioh.edu/research/proposal-prep/institutional-data/med-school-admits/index.html While above average, this is not exorbitantly high. Many schools frequently discussed on CC have higher rates. It can be difficult to compare numbers, as schools do play around with both the numerator and denominator.
@Mwfan1921 how good of you to fact check. And I agree one can find favorable data on any university. I might offer this:
Being a woman, I am especially interested in this from a couple years ago (Money June 2016)
I found this among Miami’s archives, copy and paste. It’s not my own.
“Miami made Money’s Top 10 list for CEOs of Fortune 500 companies – and the magazine points out that Miami is the only school in the top 10 with two female Fortune 500 CEOs to its credit. ?
And this:
The magazine analyzed the recently released Fortune 500 list of companies representing two-thirds of the U.S. gross domestic product.
They created a list of the top 10 schools with the most alumni in the Fortune 500’s top seat, ordering the list by the number of undergraduate degrees each school confers.
The editors found elite schools in the mix, but also liberal arts schools and public universities. Miami is both — a public, liberal arts university.
The editors write, “You might be surprised that just as many Fortune 500 CEOs went to this small Midwestern liberal arts school as such big-name schools as MIT, Yale, and Vanderbilt. But Miami U’s alumni and current students aren’t. They say the university offers a rigorous liberal arts curriculum that prepares its students for all kinds of challenges. Miami is also the only school in the top 10 with more than one female CEO to its credit.”
Money lists these Miami graduates who lead Fortune 500 companies:
David C. Dvorak, Zimmer Biomet Holdings
Lynn J. Good, Duke Energy
Kimberly S. Lubel, CST Brands
James T. Ryan, W.W. Grainger
Beyond Fortune 500 companies, Miami boasts corporate and agency leaders both with business and non-business degrees.
A sampling of Farmer School of Business grads who are corporate leaders:
Mitch Barns - Nielsen
David Dauch - American Axle
Scott Farmer - Cintas
Michelle Imler - JPMorgan Chase
Brian Niccol –Taco Bell
Jeff Osterfeld - Penn Station East Coast Subs
Scott White - New Avon
A sampling of CEOs, COOs and VPs from Miami’s College of Arts and Science:
Adam Bain, COO of Twitter, majored in English: journalism
Marne Levine, Instagram COO, majored in communication and political science
Scott Glaser, VP-CFO at Lane Bryant, majored in economics and French
Dana Paris, CMO of Vogue International, majored in psychology
David Dafoe, president and CEO of Flavorman, majored in zoology
Rebecca Messina, senior VP of marketing at Coca-Cola, majored in Spanish and minored in Italian
Miami’s emphasis on a liberal education provides a broadened context for exploring social, academic, political and professional choices. It is designed to help students understand and creatively transform human culture and society. Students learn to ask questions, examine assumptions, exchange views with others and become better global citizens.”
@Materof2 Wow! Thanks so much!! I have to say that when we were in Oxford this summer I told my husband that I would retire to this town. That’s how much I loved it. Thanks again:)

D Awaiting EA decision. Will merit aid and Honors decision come soon? Same time?
@greenmountain I wondered the same thing. My Son applied 4 years ago but was accepted before the EA date with a hard copy letter and the letter contained the award amount in it, but they’ve changed it all around now, so I’m wondering as well if with the email acceptance does it have the merit amount, or if we have to wait for a hard copy letter. My daughter is in the full range scholarship amount.
good luck!
EA decisions will be released on 12/15. Congratulations to everyone.
Will scholarship information be announced with decisions on 12/15?
Does anyone know what time decisions will be released on 12/15?
