My daughter just got her merit aid letter today
$15,000/yr. 60,000 total
WGPA: 4.5
GPA: 4.0
ACT: 35
Lots of extra curriculars
In state (forget to add)
Question for the EA students and parents -
Son was accepted last week. We won’t receive our letter until 12/31 due to some holiday travel.
Does it say in the scholarship merit aid letter what the cost of tuition and room and board is for an OOS student for 2019-2020 school year?
I am trying to better understand the cost to attend Miami.
Thanks.
@gopher119 this was tuition last year straight from Miami’s website.

@gopher119 Although, Miami will offer a tuition promise where tuition will not increase over the course of your son’s four years.
Thank you for clarifying. Much appreciated.
I don’t want to give out much of my child’s personal info, but I’ll post this to help people out:
Received merit award today (12/22) of $12,000/year, and that includes $2,000/year for UASP
Admitted 12/14
Applied very late October, submitted UASP essay 12/1 minutes before the deadline
GPA: 4.0 unweighted, 4.6 or so weighted
ACT: 32 (superscore the same)
SAT: 480 (superscore)
Planned major: computer science
Just about all AP this year, but not so much from first few years
Good extracurriculars and work experience in research
The letter says the full amount of scholarship/financial aid will come by mid-March and will be at least that amount.
@4momohio - to clarify this is for an in state student, correct?
Did any out of state students get merit aid letters today?
We are traveling and won’t get the letter until 12/31.

@HHSMomx2 I meant to say in-state. If I can edit it later I will - I don’t have time now.
DD OOS (NJ) - no merit letter today. I was told by the scholarship people that the 1st wave of letters went out Thu.(ours was part of the mailing) and am surprised we did not receive it today. good luck all :-)… I guess all them Christmas cads & packages slowing things down. hahaha or better ho ho ho !
Instate, 32 act, 4.0 gpa, $12k merit.
OOS- Got the big envelope, but no mention of merit yet
Does anyone know if Miami considers a .5 as a roundup for an ACT score? Two of my ACTs superscored would give me a 31.5, but I’m wondering if that would only give me a 31 vs. a 32.
@equationlover I’m pretty sure I asked them that at one point. I’m almost positive that’s a 32 for Miami merit consideration.
That being said, not sure how much difference that will make as both are in the same tier. Can’t hurt though.
@equationlover my son sent his low score to to Miami and it was a 27, he received merit in the amount of 6k for 4 years. Did you get into Miami? How did Case and OSU turn out for you?
That’s a 32
@Proudmom2023 I was deferred at Case (I thought I would get rejected! I think my unique story probably kept me in the game… a 30 ACT is low for them), and I have not heard back from tOSU yet. In the event that I do not get into OSU, I would like more instate options.
I did get a half-tuition scholarship to Dayton, though! It is super expensive still at around 33 K per year (R&B included). I’m sending them my updated ACT score since that puts me in a different scholarship bracket, hopefully they’ll accept that. That would give me 65-75% off tuition.
My sister got into Miami EA two weeks ago for nursing. I haven’t applied to Miami yet, after getting deferred from Michigan and CWRU, I decided to take out my two reach schools I was planning to apply to RD and instead send in apps for safety schools where I would get merit, since my family is not well off (basically poverty line).
It seems kind of counterintuitive to apply to such an expensive in-state school, but I will get merit. My sister had below a 26 ACT for Miami and got 4K a year.
Since Miami has good engineering and business (I intend to own my own engineering firm someday) I figured this might be a good option.
@lexluthor5 thanks!!!
Received 16,000 in merit aid in-state!!! 31 ACT, 3.8 GPA That would include my Bridges Program Scholarship as well!
