<p>I got accepted into the college of engineering for biomedical engineering, but I want to switch to the college of arts and sciences. Ultimately, I want to compete for a spot in the medical scholars program. Does anyone know how I would go about doing this? Do I need to wait a year, or can I transfer before enrolling at UM? </p>

<p>My son applied to engineering and he indicated biomedical engineering. His acceptance on line didn’t say anything about engineering. He hasn’t gotten his letter in the mail yet. How did you know you were accepted into biomedical engineering? On line, letter?</p>
<p>Thanks and congrats</p>
<p>Centennialmom-</p>
<p>The admission letter online and in the mail are different. Online, mine did not indicate the college I was accepted into, but in the mail the first sentence was "Congratulations! You have been admitted to […] Biomedical Engineering in the College of Engineering.</p>

Info:</p>

I Started in the ESOL Program (English for Students of Other Languages) when I was a freshman with the less demanding courses, now I’m a senior, and I’m taking the most advanced courses the school can offer.

Took extra-courses thru Florida Virtual School Such as Economics Honors, Personal Fitness, ETC…</p>
<p>What do you guys think?..
Will I maybe get deferred?</p>
<p>what do you think?</p>
<p>I think that w/o knowing your SAT/ACT scores it is impossible for us to say.</p>
<p>When do you think the regular decision people hear from UM?</p>
<p>I’d guess Mid March to early April</p>
<p>According to the site by April 15th , [Freshmen</a> Application Options & Deadlines | University of Miami](<a href=“http://www.miami.edu/index.php/ug/applying/freshmen_application_documents/freshmen_application_options/]Freshmen”>http://www.miami.edu/index.php/ug/applying/freshmen_application_documents/freshmen_application_options/)</p>
<p>I was just about to say April 15th too Attack Zebra which is a long time away! I just got deferred and now I have to wait another two months which i’m not happy about! April 15th seems to be really late considering even ivy’s go out on April 1st.</p>
<p>Even April 1st seems too long from now! I found out some other schools around then but more than likely will be going to Miami</p>
<p>Yeah I completely agree! April 1st is even too far away. I would love to go to Miami but since I won’t be receiving any scholarship money I probably wont be able to go if I get in. I wont be receiving any financial aid unfortunately and without aid I would probably be in $100000 of debt by the time I graduated which I obviously don’t want. I already have other good schools that I got into (Penn State and Uconn) which are a lot less money. I’m still waiting for UF and FSU but without any aid Miami is probably unaffordable for me.</p>
