Transferring to UMiami?

<p>If i want to transfer to UMiami as a sophomore into the communications college, it says on the website i have to take 33 credits in specific areas and i can't start as an advertising major untill my junior year. (<a href="http://www6.miami.edu/UMH/CDA/UMH_Main/0,1770,29535-1;29457-2;58152-3,00.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www6.miami.edu/UMH/CDA/UMH_Main/0,1770,29535-1;29457-2;58152-3,00.html&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p>

<p>is it realistic to transfer to miami and graduate in four years? Is it realistic to consider studying abroad for half a year preferably my junior year and still be able to graduate in four years?</p>

<p>I think it's a challenge to graduate from UM in 4 years as a comm major. My S is there now as a comm major and he is required to double major in the comm school. I honestly don't see how he will graduate in 4 years without doing some sort of summer school. The advertising major at UM is quite rigorous. I think it is in your best interest to speak to an advisor in the comm school and find out based on your situation.</p>

<p>yeah i will talk to someone, i really appreciate your response. it will be a big decision if i transfer because i couldn't make my parents pay for an extra year of college.</p>

<p>Where are you going to school now? Are there any other schools you are considering a transfer to? What are your reasons for thinking of transferring?</p>

<p>i actually just applied to miami EA this year and got rejected. the other schools i have the options of going to do not have an advertising major. i was reading the classes i would have to take to transfer to miami, to give myself the option if i decided i wanted to transfer.</p>

<p>There are plenty of other schools that have advertising majors. Is it UM that you want or just Florida?</p>

<p>i really want UM. im going to take a class or two at a local college here during the summer anyway. i just want to make sure the credits would be able to transfer over to wherever i end up going and hopefully UM.</p>

<p>Good luck getting accepted eventually. And hopefully you'll be able to afford the tuition since they aren't exactly known for giving out generous financial aid packages.</p>

<p>thanks, rijeosxeper. yeah miami's tuition is high :(. I will most likely apply for outside scholarships. At least my parents won't have to pay my freshmen tuition at UM ha.</p>
