Greetings from the Office of Admission! I want to take a moment to let you know that this year has again been a record-setting year for Miami! As of today, we have received 18,183 applications for admission. Last year we got a total of 16,960 applications. That means our pool is getting increasingly selective, and as a result we had to make many difficult decisions during our application review. Some of you may have gotten a letter indicating that your application was deferred into Regular Decision, which means that it will be reviewed again and you will get a new decision on March 15th.
You may be thinking, “Okay, what now?” There are a few steps that you can take to make sure we have the best information possible before making our final decisions on March 15th. First, be sure to send us the most updated grades that you have. Your school’s guidance office can forward new transcripts to the Office of Admission (301 S. Campus Ave, Oxford, OH 45056) for our review. Additionally, you can log on to your appcheck website to make sure we have your best standardized test score on file. If we do not, send it to us as soon as possible. You may also want to consider updating your activities list or sending an additional letter of recommendation by emailing your counselor. All of these pieces of information can help us make the most informed decision about your application file.
And here’s a tip for all applicants who have been admitted, deferred, or still have an incomplete application: FILE THE FAFSA! File the FAFSA as soon as possible and send it to every school to which you have applied. Miami’s FAFSA deadline is February 15th, and that is a very firm deadline! The FAFSA is only necessary if you would like to be considered for need-based financial assistance, but we always recommend filing the FAFSA if you are unsure of your eligibility.
As always, contact us if you have any questions! Time to get back to reading all those applications! :)
