Interesting - seems like students that heard in the second cohort of admissions also heard about Prodesse whereas the students that were admitted in the early cohort in December are still waiting. Crossing fingers for more positive news in the next couple months!
S21 - OOS , 30 ACT, 4.1W GPA,
Offered the Redhawk scholarship 21k, honors will be reviewed by March.
Heâs very happy though his GPA is higher now than it was a month ago, so he will likely update that.
We visited in the Fall and if you are not sure, I recommend going to see campus. Itâs fantastic.

Yes my twin DDâs are almost identical in stats and ECâs and both engineering, and the one accepted in December didnât hear anything about Prodesse, and the one who was accepted yesterday did get Prodesse.
Did the Prodesse Scholar acceptance come with its own scholarship?
Yes, Prodesse Scholar program provides $1,000 to $2,000 scholarship per year in addition to merit scholarship, however the acceptance letter did not provide that information. We also did not get information regarding merit scholarship in the acceptance letter because my daughter applied for the Presidential Fellows program. Since that decision is still under review, I suppose we will find out more when the invitations go out to Presidential Fellows finalists.

Iâm pretty sure you had to do a separate application to be considered
My application was complete in November 23rd, so I definitely didnât miss the deadline
Where can we find the aid information? Nothing was mentioned in my sonâs acceptance letter other than his acceptance into Prodesse Scholars Program.
Is there a financial aid section we have to click on or does it come at a later date?
Later.
âFirst-year students: If you have filed the FAFSA and listed Miami as a recipient in the school section, you should receive an award notification by mid to late March.â

not to us, but I heard they sent letters last March/April increasing aid.
Probably not, but there are plenty of opportunities to show interest through virtual visits, see this page:

Yes similar here too, 4.2 GPA, 34 ACT, 9APs with average-excellent leadership and ECâs but it doesnât sound like they made much use of the ârangeâ on the chart. Not sure if that comes later or they just had so many more applicants because of being test optional that the pot of money needed to be spread thinner. Hopeful they will increase it later once it gets closer to registration to make more use of that range!
