UM says:
"UM
does not have any 'minimum' requirements for admission. We consider
every student's application individually and make decisions accordingly. However, once
students fall below an 1160-1340 SAT or 26-30 ACT, and/or
below an unweighted 3.0 GPA it can be very problematic
for students. Last year for the Fall 2003 entering freshman
class-all students had been in the top 50% of their
high school class, 62% had been in the top 10%,
the middle 50% of students had between an 1160-1340 SAT
or 26-30 ACT, and had an average weighted GPA of
4.0. " | | Students who got into UM say: | |

I didn't really have a problem getting in here; I submitted an application Early Action and came down to visit- I knew I got in by December of my senior year.
Accounting
Just applied. The standards aren't as high as UM officials would like you to believe (i.e. so you don't feel like they're stealing your money).
Architecture
Simply put, I applied. Throughout high-school I took Honors and Advanced Placement courses, and that certainly helped me in getting accepted. My SAT wasn't terribly high, and I did not have a plethora of extracurricular activities, I was accepted because of my academic standing.
Or you can play football.
Biology
Well you can be really rich, or you better be a great football player. But seriously, you can get in if you have a good GPA or a really high SAT. They usually give good FA packages to bright people. That is the only way they can convince them to come here.
Biology
I took the SATs and the ACTs and did the common app. Miami accepts both the SATs and ACTs, so if you can, take both, you might do better on the ACTs (i did). Make sure to write a good application essay, I can't stress it enough. You should write and rewrite it A LOT. If you think you're done the first time you write it... you did something wrong. Include a resume type letter detailing your sports, extra curriculars, awards received, etc. It should all be on your common app, but it looks much nicer if you type it up. Microsoft Word has a resume template somewhere, use that. If you can, include a note about yourself including your hobbies and interests. The admissions staff want to know YOU. If something looks bad on your transcript and there is a reason for that, provide extenuating circumstances.
If you have any questions feel free to email me, it's listed here somwhere.

I think attending something prior to college, like a summer scholars program really helped make me stand out ahead of other applicants. Also school's truly do care when you apply so apply early, I applied early decision and didn't get in right away but after not too long I was accepted.
Biology
high grades, extracurricular activities, and work experience
Business - Management and Administration
well, I was admitted and given a half tuition scholarship and I credit Jesus, my Lord and Savior for that since He has blessed me throughout the whole course of my education and guided me to excel. I came in as a transfer student with a 4.0 gpa on a 4.0 scale and was very nicely welcomed.
Business - Management and Administration
Just apply. Early action is your best bet as you find out early and the decision is not binding.
Business - Management and Administration
This school is very very over rated in its admissions process. It is no better than Florida Atlantic University. I mean the locations is great but for a school not even in the top 50 it is not fair to claim a 3.6gpa and a 1300 avg sat score. Stick to the public schools and save your money!
