Anyone know the acceptance rate this year?
I believe its 27%
That was last yr I assume it is way lower this yr
Accepted as Business major, with Presidential Scholarship!
Yea I think it’s lower cuz on the acceptance letter it said 42000 applications received and only 2100 spots
Which is a 5% acceptance rate
Which is really low for them
Am I doing the math wrong cuz wut
Has anyone else not received a decision?
That’s how many people end up going way more people get accepted than the 2100

anyone else feel like decisions were heavily based on financial situation since they’re need aware? I’m above average for umiami and got waitlisted. I’ve compared my application to other students and those who are wealthier with lower stats for accepted. seems sketchy

It’s probably yield protection. It “is an admissions practice where a university or academic institution rejects or wait-lists highly qualified students on the grounds that such students are bound to be accepted by more prestigious universities or programs.”
I thought they were committed to being need blind & meets need?

they’re need aware in the admissions process. meaning they’re more incline to take a wealthy student with lower stats than a less wealthy student with high stats. they do have a policy to meet 100% of demonstrated financial need that was implemented recently but that’s kinda of deceiving because majority of students they accept don’t need a lot of aid.

Thanks for explaining that. It makes a lot of sense. My sons is valedictorian and has been accepted at 2 schools previously but rejected at UM. We are high financial need and he applied to a very competitive program. I believe he will end up at the best place for him ultimately, but rejection is so hard!

it’s such a weird admissions process this year. it could’ve also been yield protection. lots of students who got into top 20 schools got rejected/waitlisted at UM. best of luck to your son!
