My son applied to the games and simulation major. He has been accepted to Miami but still pending on his major. Does anyone know when those decisions come out?

Are in in state? Isnât $13,000 the top merit award?
$13,000 to Full Tuition, so $13000 is the lower end of the range for in-state.
I was told that the $13,000 was the top merit and then the âup to full tuitionâ was if you applied and earned other scholarships/ financial aid.
What if you are not into greek life? Be honestâwill you be ostracized or no?
Only about 25% of the total student body participates in Greek life, so itâs prominent but not at all what you have to do to have a social life.
Edit: Sorry just realized this was sent to a specific person, but hereâs a link to this info on their website anyway:
Not ostracized - it just âfeelsâ bigger than it is because itâs so visible particularly 1st year IF you let it. Part of it also is that Oxford is in the middle of nowhere so some mistakenly feel as if they will have no social outlet unless they pledge. Just like at any school, it is critical to try new things and/Îżr become involved with groups who have similar goals/values to find your circle of friends.

Absolutely not. Iâm only a freshman, but honestly Greek Life sort of operates in its own bubble. If you arenât in it, there are literally thousands of people in the same boat as you - and thatâs totally okay! Iâve met a lot of upperclass students so far and none of them are in a sorority or fraternity (and theyâre super involved and donât feel like theyâre âmissing outâ on anything!)
Iâd sum it up as: if you want Greek Life, it exists - if you donât, it doesnât.

Not received any notice/text/email, something changed in my Dâs portal today. When clicked the admission letter, it became longer than it was several days ago with the following paragraph added.
"In addition, we are pleased to award you the following scholarship awards each year of your four-year degree:
Prodesse Scholars Program Scholarship in the annual amount of $2,000
2 Likes
RedHawk Excellence Scholarship in the annual amount of $19,000 "

Are you in state or out of state?

Congratulations!
The original decision came out on 1/15, but had no scholarship listed. When weâd checked today my sonâs scholarships were listed in the letterâŠdated 1/15. Very happy!

Has anyone heard about Honors College yet?

My twin daughters havenât yet, although Miamiâs timeline says March 15 for Honors college notifications.
My daughterâs admissions rep last week said Honors decision âstart soonâ. I think if you made the priority date of Dec 8 (I think?), you may hear earlier than March 15.
