Decision: Accepted

Date applied: Early Action
Date decision postmarked/received: 01/30/08
Accepted at which school/major at Miami: College of Arts and Sciences, Pre-Medicine

Stats:
*SAT Total: 2090 M: 730, CR: 700, WR: 660,
*ACT: 29 (Didn't report)
*SAT Subject Tests: Math I: 700, Lit: 660, U.S. History: 600 (were my weakpoints)
*GPA-UW/W: 3.7/4.83
*Rank: 12/536
*AP/IB classes: 11 APs, 7 in senior year. I got two 4's and two 3's on the tests that I took.

Subjective:
*Essays: Strong, written about my fathers hard work, instilling it in me.
*Teacher Recs: Great, got several, picked the best.
*Counselor Rec: Top rec.
*EC highlights: Oh boy... This list goes on. Basically, 4 years of Debate, state qualification last year and President this year to be EXTREMELY bland. Also, two years of wrestling.

Location/Person:
*State or Country: Florida
*School Type: Public High School, semi-competitive due to the high volume of students.
*Ethnicity: Indian (from India)
*Gender: Male

Other Factors, hook?: I just worked really hard on my application. All the stats I had pointed me in the direction of the Dean's Scholarship, so I made sure to work very hard on my essay and very hard to display my extra curriculars to the admissions crew in order to be bumped up to the University Scholarship.

General Comments, scholarship chances, status info, going to Miami...?: As I said in my last comment, the application can work for you or against you. They have some prestated qualifications for their scholarships, but they're extremely malleable when all is taken into consideration. I applied to a lot of Ivy's and high level institutions on the same hope, thinking I might be able to apply myself into consideration :p, so we'll see if I'll be going to UM or not. Either way, I'm really happy, 24,000 a year is AMAZING, go 'Canes.
