HOW to GET into the University of Miami

[@KylaGrace]

I used to work in the admissions office at UM. He's right. The application process is quite holistic so one "negative" or mediocre aspect won't bring you down. That doesn't mean to not give everything your all, of course. The admitted students are usually exceptional in some way (started a business, volunteers, wins awards, IB, multilingual, etc). Great video!

[@justsarah3812]

How? can u get accepted with a low sat score and low gpa ?

[@justsarah3812]

Because at this point ik this school is reach for me will they even consider my application with a low gpa and test score besides writting a good personal essay

[@unknown-fu6nm]

Kyla Grace uhmm... ma’am u need to start a channel to help us out

[@starJananoj]

Please, I have question, what if you've met all the requirements but you're still yet to pay the application fee and you've not paid yet and the decision deadline is fast approaching. Does it end up affecting your chances of getting into UM? Or even if you paid the fee, you may still not get accepted to University Of Miami?

[@JESUSistheTRUTH-ROBLOX]

JESUS CHRIST is LORD and He loved us while we were still sinners to die for our sins and be raised from the grave for our justification as the sinless, perfect Lamb of GOD, Who takes away the sin of the world, fulfilling the righteousness that the law requires, which we, sinners by nature, could never fulfill, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of GOD. however in this present age, we may now be saved by the grace of GOD through faith in Him alone, followed by the act of repentance or the turning away from all of our sins. we must be born again. JESUS CHRIST is the Way and the Truth and the Life!

Hi Danny, I am interested in this school but my high school does not really offer many extra curricular activities IN school, but i participate in a couple OUTSIDE of school... do you still think that it would be a problem for me to get accepted because of this?

Miami is the way to go :)

[@TuvyaM]

I’m a student at the U. You got very very lucky getting into Miami with a 25 ACT and a 3.4 GPA... If you’re a white student with an ACT below a 28, you’ll probably have about a 5% chance of being accepted unless you’re recruited as a D1 athlete. It was probably thanks to your KZbin channel that you were accepted. I’ve only ever met one person at UM with an ACT and GPA that low, and she’s a legacy whose father gives a ton of money to the school...

[@ItsDanny123]

My KZbin channel had nothing to do. I didn't even have a channel when I applied or got accepted. Honestly what saved me was being very well rounded throughout high school. Numbers were not in my favor, experiences were :)

[@Wafflez0007]

I was wondering if I would have a good chance of getting in. My weighted GPA is a 3.6 (but my school has more difficult classes which may affect how they view it), my sat score is an 1150 (but i still haven't completed algebra 2 yet), I was on the robotics team this year (junior year), and i did a leadership program, I have 120 community service hours, my dad is an alumni, and i may or may not be on the bright futures plan (depending on if i can bring up my sat score to a 1290.) I really want to attend this university and i also apologize for all of the parenthesis. Any response would mean a lot, thank you.

[@rozinabegum5827]

Do they look at your individual grade for each class or do they only look at your final average

[@ccxxsxxdd1032]

Do you think certifications in any Adobe program will help you stand out from others in this application process? Will it give you a better chance of getting in?

[@Brian-ey4xt]

Just as an additional data point from a guy who went to UM back in 2003-07. My SAT was 800 quant / 710 verbal (back in 2002 when it was still out of 1600), ACT was 33 with perfects in math and science. My GPA was pretty bad in high school (I was barely in the top half of my graduating class) since I was a low C student in everything except science where I had an A+ average and took all AP science/math classes that were offered at the time and got 5s in all of them. I was an eagle scout, class president, state medalist in wrestling, and 1st chair trumpet in state band. I applied regular decision to UM, Northwestern, and Duke. I got into all 3, but ended up going to UM due to location and scholarships. I studied Mechanical Engineering with minors in French and Music.

[@ItsDanny123]

wow how times have changed!

[@zeinabtoure8600]

Dang what was your gpa

[@Brian-ey4xt]

High school GPA? I honestly don't know; it's been 15-20 years since I was in high school. I think my % average was around 80% and my school didn't use a 4.0 scale, but I guess it would have been around 2.8/4.0 scale. I did well on my AP exams: I got 5s in Chemistry, Calc BC, Physics C, and both Econs and a 4 on French. I entered UM as a sophomore since they awarded me 32 credits for all that. I think the admissions people just excused my poor GPA because I had really high SAT/ACT scores with a lot of 5s on the AP exams and had tons of extracurricular activities.

[@starJananoj]

Please, I have question, what if you've met all the requirements but you're still yet to pay the application fee and you've not paid yet and the decision deadline is fast approaching. Does it end up affecting your chances of getting into UM? Or even if you paid the fee, you may still not get accepted to University Of Miami?

[@grammegrubbs6038]

Ok when did you hear back for ED? It says late December but I met with an admission person and they said before Christmas but I'm trying to get a more solidified date as admission to Miami is all I've been thinking about

[@ItsDanny123]

They were right! I got my ED decision exactly on December 16. Now of course this can vary this year or depending on other factors. Best of luck !

I hate to butt in, but no college is worth 160,000 of debt. I started out at community college and only regret not being able to spend more time there. Do your future self a favor and stay as debt-free as possible. Even a quarter as much debt as you're talking about is horrible when you see the numbers for real as you're acquiring it.

[@shaquizzle5548]

Elissa Pancoe I hear you. It’s so unreal how the average tuition is $50,000 a year ($6,000 a class), but I’m going to test the waters in the fall and see how the costs really add up. If it’s too much for my future self to pay off then I’ll go back to my local college. $30,000 lesser salary is better than paying back $160,000 for years

[@ItsDanny123]

thanks for the comment and I totally agree! Luckily I was able to cover most of my tuition through scholarship money. BUT I do believe that at the end of the day what matters is what you do at school rather than what school you go to. I have many friends who are much smarter than me and they go to Community College due to financial reasons. Does that mean they are dumber than me? does that mean their future won't be as good as mine? OF COURSE NOT ! There are millions of students who are in community college that are waaaaay smarter than students who go to top state schools or private schools.

[@lid.or.whatever]

Forever Alexcia ok so IB and AP are both ways to gain college credits. While most AP classes are given in the high school some IB classes are done in college. Another program is the Cambridge International Examinations magnet program which is more or less the same but with the Cambridge University's standards
