<p>You’ll probably get in, probably no scholarship though (maybe a diversity one)</p>
<p>I wanna say yes… but I don’t think so. Low GPA + slightly below average SAT = Bad 
But your volunteering and race could help you</p>
<p>what in the world is an 81 GPA???</p>
<p>It’s out of 100… so your average percent. It generally would correlate to a 2.7-3.3 unweighted.</p>
<p>This thread is from a year ago, I think this person already applied and got their decision.</p>
<p>Looks like they got wait listed and then not taken off of the waitlist: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-miami-florida/860227-fafsa.html#post1064075926[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-miami-florida/860227-fafsa.html#post1064075926</a></p>
