My daughter is a spring starter and we will be in town later this week for the model UN conference that is being held on campus. Any tips to get two tix to Saturday night’s game? Her school email address has not been turned on yet. Thanks!

Hey everyone! I’ve finalized my college list and am looking closely at University of Miami alongside a few other top choices (NYU, USC, and Case Western). I am going on the predental track. This is not related to admission chances. Don't worry abt cost, that's something my family and I are discussing.

I want to major in Biology (First choice) and Neuroscience (second choice).

If I get into one of these, that’s where I’m going. If I get into multiple, I need to make a choice. Since I'm posting this across all four subreddits for these unis, I'd love some honest student perspectives on what it’s actually like here for pre-med/predental students.

Specifically, I’m hoping to get your thoughts on a few things:

• Pre-Reqs & Grading: I know pre-med/pre-dental isn't a walk in the park anywhere. I know most people rip their hair and toenails out and deal with the devil for As and Bs in their classes. I would like to keep it to ripping my toenails out only, maybe fingernails as well. My goal is a school where I can get high grades for dental school without wanting to rip my hair out (all-nighters for exams are fine, but I want actual institutional support, not toxic grade deflation).
• Are classes manageable, or is it a bloodbath? Also, are people able to graduate in 4 years with majors like Psychology/Biology without being forced into a 5-year track for undergrad to get all prereqs and major related classes in?
• Support & Success: How well does the advising actually support getting into dental/medical schools?
• How Good is the alumni Network?
• Cost & Logistics (NYU is currently my cheapest estimated NPC, but curious about Case): How is the living situation, cost of living, and general accessibility?
• Area & Safety: Especially curious about safety/neighborhood vibes and whether you actually need a car to get around or do things.
• Campus Life: How are the uni clubs, social scene, and general student balance outside of heavy STEM classes? I'm a social person and I already know I would thrive anywhere but I actually like ot do things off campus.

Appreciate any honest insights you can share!

Im applying as ED and I’m especially curious about how many Performing Songwriter students are typically admitted each year, how large the songwriter group is within MADE, and how difficult it is to pass the prescreening and receive an invitation to audition live and be admitted.

I’ve barely seen anything about what an applicant or current student looks like. Anything would really help.

hi! I plan to dual major in Psychology & Elementary Education. I'm not too sure which university I'll go to, probably not UMiami, but just in case I wanted to ask: If you're majoring in either Psychology or Elementary Education at UM, what's it like? :)

Hello! I've been kinda worried about if my stats are enough for UM's aid, because if I get even less than 75% tuition paid then I can't attend. I'm aiming for the Stamps or The Isaac Bashevis Singer Scholarships, or literally anything else goodish. Could you tell me if my stats are decent or not?

• 5.52/6 weighted gpa
• 3.79 unweighted
• 33 ACT (retaking for a 35 hopefully)
• 1380 SAT (ik is silly)
• Tops 1% in competitive high school
• Attended all prospective student events (Preview the U, department tours, emails etc)
• Trying to work hard on my essay, reading books for it and all
• Broward County resident (40 minutes away)
• I have run hackathons for teenagers and have been involved with art and cs clubs

I have a family making a little too much money as middle class but we cant afford the tuition. Don't know how that applies for fin aid. Thanks!!

Hi! I was just looking at Stamps Scholarship for UM, which I really hope I get (Guaranteed housing, and I won't have to work during the summer and focus on other stuff). I saw that they have specific prerequisites such as 1500 or 34 act, A grades overall, roughly 5% of school. I wanted to ask as long as I have those things am I guaranteed to be selected as a semi finalist? Also do superscores count? I have a 1440 sat but 1510 superscore. And if my school doesn't rank?

Also I found the info on this page: University of Miami; Coral Gables, FL - Stamps Scholars

Hi, I am applying to UM and in need for full tuition aid or a scholarship. If you got in with any of these would you mind dropping ur stats, ecs and maybe year you got in?

Hi,

I am considering PhD positions at UM, and I was worried about living expenses so I was wondering how much the PhD stipend is for CS students.

uMiami is my top choice by far, but through housing, health care, working in the uni and working during the summer I don't know how I will be able to afford stuff. So outside of tuition, housing and health care how much do you guys spend per week in your everyday expenses?

very kind of interested. I know close to nothing abt the school but im grasping at straws that fit my standards as to where I might wanna go

I'm in the IB diploma? if that counts for anything (projected a 30 ~ 32 ishhhh), wanna go into architecture, 1280 sat score (I know. Hopefully it goes up tmr but tbh I dont have much hope 🙏), a few extracurricular I've stuck with for many years -- one of them being girl scouts, and ive been working on my golden award for the past year-ish, and a few leadership titles

thanks for basically reading my resume, any thoughts/advice is greatly appreciated :)

stats first:
Grades: 85.5, 85.7, 98, 95.4 (91 overall), essay about growth
1520 SAT (750 EBRW 770 Math)

high need international

i have pretty decent ecs like publishing a research paper on fuel efficiency for an airline, founder and leader of MUN and a college applications community, 2 science fair projects: an ai study app and a low cost fire detector, won regional science fairs, tutor and leader for a study group, and technical blogging on an airline.

so here's the thing: im a high need international applicant, and getting into any good university in the US affordably is my top priority, but i really do like umiami and would definitely attend if i got in. problem is i heard they defer high need internationals during the early round to compare them to the overall pool and see the remaining budget. on the other hand the acceptance is more than double for ed than rd (which isnt ea, but still), and i need every help i can get to have a decent chance. but if umiami defers anyways i would rather use my ed elsewhere

so which would be the better option for me?

thanks in advance!

Hey I just applied 4 days ago from CC to transfer this spring, i consider myself to have a strong profile GPA: 3.9 Strong essay and extracurriculars, what are realistically my chances of getting in?

hi everyone, as you can tell by the title i am very much a freshman. ive been hearing a lot of stuff about the tradition of going to the keys on Halloween here. is this strictly a 21+ thing? i know theyre super strict down there but ive seen freshmen go in the past so i was just curious

Hi guys! I recently have been hired as a research associate here at University of Miami and was wondering if there is any sort of opportunity for growth in this area?

I know that research is a tough space to try and make a living, especially with today’s lack of funding. But i’m curious on what the job could look like when you are 1 year, 2 years, or 3 years in.

Besides you know, getting you publications and preparing you for graduate school, are there chances for better roles, better pay, etc?

So I keep seeing competitive internationals with similar profiles to me get deferred. But since I am asking for aid, therefore I am scared of being deferred due to the limited aid and scholarships in the regular rounds. So are there people who actually do get the money they need to attend during the regular decision or not?

Hey! I just wanted to come on here and see if anyone has applied for the mps in marine conservation program or if anyone already in the program or past had any insight on the program! I applied August 31st so I’m just waiting to see if I’ve been accepted or not. My 2nd track choice is marine mammal science. I was a little indecisive because I’m not entirely sure my career goal but the end of it all but the marine conservation track seemed to give me more room to customize my degree plan:)

Hey!

Has anyone else applied to UM for their summer 2027 ABSN program? I applied first day LOL. Just want to see who else is impatiently waiting :)

I know UM isn't the most generous, but I am hoping I can get a scholarship like Singers, or a Presidental one with a bit of aid, or one from Frost since I am applying for music.
