<p>for all of those put on the waiting list.....
are you going to wait or not?</p>
<p>I am going to wait...why not? It cant hurt.
By the way what were your stats?</p>
<p>25 ACT
1560 SAT
3.88 w gpa </p>
<p>im going to wait too...but i wasnt sure what to think haha..right when i saw the letter i knew it wasnt good news because my friend received a huge packet from miami (accepted),and then i get the small envelope...but its annoying because it's not "accepted" and not "rejected"...so the waiting continues...but we hear before or on JUNE 15!? </p>
<p>my graduation date is june 6th or 7th!...ill be out of high school! hahah</p>
<p>I'll probably wait.</p>
<p>if we do get admitted....by/on june 15th...</p>
<p>do we just "back out" of our commitment to other colleges whose deadlines are in may?</p>
<p>I'm not going to wait. Miami is a great school, but after applying EA then getting deferred to RD and then getting wait listed...I just don't think it's where I'm supposed to go.</p>
<p>And there is no way I'm going to wait until June 15th just to see if they will actually use the wait list this year.</p>
<p>Waitlisted
3.3 W GPA (it sucks donkey spheres, i know)
1290/1970 SAT
26 ACT</p>
<p>HKcouture- I have almost the exact same stats as you. lol. Looks like we're probably pretty close to each other on the wait list. I think i had like a 27 act though, but its basically the same. In reality though, I dont think I will end up going. It takes too long to find out if we're accepted and I applied to like 10 different places.</p>
<p>ya--i think im going to wait on the list...but in reality...i'll probably end up some where else...but you know, theres always spring break miami '08 haha</p>
<p>does everyone have a "special offer" in the waitlist for admission to spring 2009? or is that just for a few waitlistees and the rest are doomed without any guarantees?</p>
<p>yeah i got the "special offer" too for spring '09 admittance. if we take that do we go to another college for a semester or wait?</p>
<p>I called them and they said, basically, we can do whatever we want.
Any other "special offer" recipients?</p>
<p>deferred first, now wait listed. I got into every other college I applied. Scholarships to all but two (NYU and BU). I'm not waiting, I've got better things to do. </p>

<p>My essay kicked it and my rec's were outstanding. I got into every other college I applied to, all but two with scholarships. Miami didn't even look at me. First I was deferred now wait listed. I didn't need any financial help.</p>
<p>Miami's getting a LOT tougher to get into. :(. I still don't understand how you got waitlisted that means I did we have nearly identical stats (except that I am a transfer student lol.)</p>
<p>"I got into every other college I applied. Scholarships to all but two (NYU and BU)."</p>
<p>If you don't mind my asking, when did you hear from BU? I applied there as well, but I didn't think notifications were being send out for another week or two...</p>

<p>Does anyone know how many Miami accepted off the waitlist in previoud years?</p>
<p>This is atrocious...HOW HARD is it to get in this year!! haha. I am most def. wiatlisted.</p>
<p>still nobody has answered my question. is the "special offer" given to every waitlist-ee? or not?</p>
<p>to answer your question probably not because i dont think i got the "special offer" </p>
<p>my friends that started their freshman yr at miami this yr didnt have the scores some of you have (meaning slightly lower) and some how got in...</p>
<p>so strange..</p>
<p>but I heard theyre gonna have like a 30% acc. rate it's that hard I guess haha.</p>
