Hi Everyone!
I was wondering if you all could tell me a bit about the reputation and prestige the U has as an academic institution. I know threads on this topic exist on CC but they are from a few years ago so things may have changed. I also know that Miami’s rep has been quickly and steadily increasing over the last few years (and overall since Shalala took over). I remember students describing Miami as an up in coming hoping to place itself in the Umich-Anne Arbor category of schools. Has it accomplished that? Is Miami still on an uphill trend? Will the addition of a Havard Dean as President further augment that? I know it was as high as 38 in the US news ranking a few years ago and the competition for admittance is really rigorous.
