Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>howdy all,</p>

<p>wondering if i could get a sense of what my chances are getting into UM early decision.</p>

<p>FR GPA: 3.57(weighted)
SOPH GPA: 3.54 (weighted)</p>

<p>I transferred to a much harder school junior yr and had a 3.08 GPA. My current school does not weight GPA. Thats why it looks like a big drop-off. However, both schools have a hard grading scale:</p>

<p>A(4.0)=93-100
B(3.0)=85-92
C(2.0)=77-84
D(1.0)=70-76</p>

<p>My GPA would be a lot higher at other schools.</p>

<p>I have 6 honors courses and 2 AP's. CR SAT=540, Math SAT=570 (1110 combined.) Should get good recs, did a lot of activities and volunteer work, went on a summer service trip, and did 2 academic programs abroad.</p>

<p>what do you guys think?</p>

<p>As you probably know, in spite of its party reputation, Miami is a tough school to get into. The most recent data shows that 76% of incoming students have an unweighted GPA of 3.75 or higher. Your weighted GPA is somewhere around 3.3; I’m guessing your UW GPA is closer to 3.0, that would put you in the lowest 5%. Your SATs are also below the 25th%-tile. ED works best for recruited athletes, URMs and applicants whose profiles are closer to the 50th%-tile (or better) of all the statistics. I think you are looking at a rejection.</p>

<p>my uw GPA for all 3 yrs is a 3.26. I know it looks like a long shot but i think my activities will really help me.</p>
