<p>Seems odd to me- she has a 32 ACT, 2100 SAT, 4.0 GPA (UW). But nothing of mention about scholarships? I am so disappointed- without that this is not an option for her.</p>

<p>I was waitlisted.
Weighted GPA capped was about a 3.92. Uncapped 3.96.
ACT: 32.
SAT: 2050.
A couple APs and honors sophomore and junior years. 3 APs this year.
Not totally surprised… I messed up sophomore yer but I have an upward trend. I didn’t really want to go to U of Miami that much anyways because it’s just too much money.
My EC’s are all right. Lot of leadership experience and volunteer hours, but on-and-off participation in sports. My essays were good. Yeap, that’s about it! Congrats to everyone who was accepted :)</p>

<p>I haven’t heard from Frost yet. If I remember correctly, that should be coming out when my admission’s decision for the UM does. I heard from a friend that attends UM that some Frost decisions have been received. I’m hoping to hear soon.</p>
