Hey everyone just needed some quick advice I know many of you have been through the same dilemma but I'm in international student and the only possible way I could study at u Miami is that I get a full ride and the deadline is approaching for the CSS profile considering I'm applying to many schools the CSS Profile fees add up U Miami says that they meet 100% of demonstrated financial need but like what is the out of pocket contribution I could expect, my gpa is high but extracurriculars are average so can I even get a full ride ? Oh and does u maimi offer css profile fee waivers?
Hey has anyone gotten their applicant portal login?
When should we be expecting to receive it?
Hi! It will only take 2 minutes! Please fill out this survey for my high school brother’s research project.

Im a current freshman at a cuny in NYC. Im considering transferring to umiami. I had a 2.0 in high school. If I get a 3.8 GPA and have a lot of extracurriculars what are my chances of getting in? Is there anything I can do to boost my chances of acceptance.
Does anyone know how long the supplemental essay is supposed to be? (Don't have access to portal due to technical difficulties, so if anyone has the word count length that would be great!)
Has anyone ever gotten to miami ed1 (not asking for money) w a 3.26-3.3?
Everyone I speak to has had bad experiences with speaking to advisors at toppel? I’ve gone twice and both advisors gave me empty advice and I left feeling really confused. Am I just going to the wrong people??
I currently attend Queens College, but I don't want to stay there. I want to apply to UMiami, and I hope I can get accepted. It has always been my dream school, but I didn't apply as a senior. If I get a 3.8 GPA, what are my chances of getting in?

Basically, I’m interested in marketing and the creative side of business, but I’ve heard that a marketing degree or minor might not be the most “useful” in terms of practical skills. I’m wondering if I should choose a different minor that could be more valuable for what I’m aiming for, like finance, communication, business tech, or something else. Any advice on which minors would provide the most valuable skills for someone interested in the creative/marketing field and majoring in Quantitative Economics? Thanks in advance!
I’ve seen people say that EA is better for internationals seeking financial aid - is that true?
How hard is it to get into the classes you need at UMiami? Does getting the right classes make it harder to double major across schools?
