<p>Wasn’t my #1 choice but I’m really considering going now since I got the scholarship. Surprised they gave it to me considering I applied a day late, went 300 words over on the essay, and have a D+ on my transcript. I’m not complaining though LOL =D</p>

<p>ha, this is my first post.</p>

<p>Accepted :slight_smile:
Major: Business
From: Orlando, Florida

I am Indian.</p>

<p>I am actually quite surprised that I got accepted, considering my SAT scores and my ECs aren’t that great. But I am very happy, this is one of my top choices. </p>

<p>Also, something that might have helped was when I visited UM in February, I got the email address of the admissions person that was zoned for Orlando, and I emailed him introducing myself, and updating him on my senior year. He was very nice and replied back the very next day. It is always good to keep in contact and let them know that you are interested by updating them about what is currently going on in your senior year. </p>

<p>Good luck to everyone who is still waiting!</p>
