Assuming you are accepted, they definitely will. My daughter was accepted with a Miami calculated GPA of 4.33, and they awarded the $13K minimum for that GPA level.
28 on the ACT is still 90th percentile, so not bad. Very impressive of your 7th grade brother to score so high at that age. Either way, it didnât appear to impact their decision. She was accepted and received a total of $16K/yr from Miami, with possible increases as we get closer to this summer. However, I do agree with youâŠif we hadnât already submitted the scores prior to COVID, we probably wouldnât have submitted the 28.

@JenR8R This would be great if they released a few of them early, or more than a few even ;). My son applied back in mid-October so I would hope itâs pretty automatic as far as them knowing if he is in or not. He didnât apply for the honors programs either so even easier. They kept emailing him about it and then ultimately texted him a few weeks ago and he responded he isnât applying for them so hopefully that finalized his app.
He is waiting to hear from his ED school this week and if he doesnât get in, it would be great to have an acceptance somewhere under his belt. If not Miami, he wonât hear from anywhere else until after January. The waiting will be brutal.
Good luck to everyone!

@fnpony There is absolutely nothing wrong with a 28 ACT score, nor is there anything wrong with having submitted it. Thatâs great about your brother but your comment is not necessary in saying that âeven my 7th grade brother got 28â.
@anxiety19 Great score for your daughter! You should be very proud of her.

Does anyone know how Miami recalculates GPA?
There is a table you can link to when youâre logged in. It tells you the values they use.
Here is the link to the table: Recalculated GPA | First-Year Application Requirements | Miami University
Average 7th grade ACT score is a 10 A 23 is 95% just sayin

Sorry I was not meant to be a jerk by bragging. I just wanted friendly remind everyone that the brutal competition we have to face. By the way, one of my neighbors, 10th grade now, he scored 33 ACT in 7th grade. However, in my eyes, he is merely a pure nerd.
Wahooooo! Son applied EA and checked his portal just now. He is in! So they are releasing decisions for EA candidates before 1/15!
Also, scholarship info was there and broken out into different categories so we could see. Also had the note that he would hear about all honors decisions later.
