Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>hi, i applied to UM and i am wondering if I could get into.. I am an international student from venezuela and i want to study there, i dont know my gpa because in venezuela we dont use that system for grades, but my grades are like Bs & Cs, but i have some extracurricular activities that i put in the app, also i have 6 recommendation letters, 4 from venezuela and 2 from a course of english that i am doing right now in Boston. I will afford all the tuition, i wont look for any scholarship or financial aid, and a very great essay that i have done here and two teachers have corrected it. right now i have good grades in the course an i gave them a report of my grades here. I also have the toefl score that they ask me. In some sites i saw that is not too hard to enter to UM if you pay the tuition.. but i don't know if i can believe it... what do you say?
Im trying to enter to the college of engineering and i want to study industrial engineering. and i read that UM is not too much recognized of the engineering. i don't know if it is a pro for me.</p>

<p>i played soccer at my school and in my recommendation letters is reflected my great attendance on the extracurricular activities. also my well behavior and responsibility. I am just wondering if I have many opportunities to get accepted.</p>

<p>I won´t look for any scholarship or financial aid. i will afford the tuition. Also i don't need SAT because I'm an international student</p>

<p>I am from miami and UM is a rigorous school and usually with B’s and C’s your chances are very low, since you are an international student I don’t know how you stand among other international students, but you could call the admissions office and talk to them, they usually are willing to answer most of your questions regarding admission ! Goodluck !</p>

<p>I emailed some people from the college of engineering showing them my interest. because there are a lot of people that apply at UM and get accepted but they dont want to enroll there, so maybe that would be an extrapoint. what do you think? i really want to study at um</p>

<p>I think as an international student you might have a good chance, but I suggest you also apply to U of Florida just in case, it’s one of the best universities down here!</p>

<p>Yes i applied there but is so much difficult that UM i think. and the univ that i want is UM. :slight_smile: thank you for your comment, hope god hears you. also i understand that engineering at um doesnt have too much demand than other faculties like business, arts, law or med. that is an extrapoint i think right?</p>
