I am applying to the Farmer School of Business at Miami and was wondering my chances of getting in. I’m in my first year of community college and am applying to enroll as a sophomore for fall 2017.
High School:
Average GPA: 4.7 (weighted), 3.2 (unweighted), took a mix of AP and regular classes and was a solid A/B student and graduated with high honors.
ACT Score: 27, 28 (superscore)
Accepted into Syracuse University, Bradley University, University of Minnesota, University of Illinois, and University of Delaware (couldn’t attend a 4 year university because of money)
Activities: Varsity athlete, choir, theatre, and a competitive dancer
College:
GPA: 3.8-4.0
Classes I’m enrolled in: Marcroeconomics, Precalculus, Intermediate French, and General Psychology
I might be joining a marketing club at college but I have a part time job that takes up a lot of time.
Out of State (from Illinois)
What are my chances of getting in?
This board is not real active and it focuses on freshmen applicants. I doubt that you will get your answer here. But you never know.
I believe you are overqualified/matched to get into Miami, but maybe on the fence for the Farmer School of Business. Your ACT score is pretty much the average that they accept for general undergrad, and you have many classes and good grades to back it up. The FSB typically accepts a 29 ACT but your grades and extracurriculars might be able to help you get in I am also from Illinois and just applied as a freshman applicant for fall of 2017 and I have similar stats as you. I am planning on transferring into the Farmer School of Business after my freshman year if I am not directly admitted. I would definitely try to apply and see what happens… and definitely contact the local admissions counselor and talk to her about what your options are if you are not admitted directly to the FSB.
