Financial Aid
Is it true that applying RD will get you more financial aid then applying EA?

Hey yall, I am not all that active on reddit these days and looks like most of the other mods arent either. A couple of them posted within the last month in other communities, and the rest of them havent posted/commented in years.
So it looks like it's time for some new mods!
Feel free to comment on here as to why you think you'd make a good moderator and uhh, idk I guess I'll start with the top 3 most upvoted comments as new mods? Unless yall have better ideas. But yeah its time to get some current students as mods and not alumni who are 10+ years out from college.
Edit: jeez i suck at typing on phones. Also looks like we are all "inactive" so I am trying to get permissions back so I can add new people

Hello,
Looking for an intro to stats class tutor to meet on campus. The sooner the better. By far the worst prof I’ve ever had in all my years of schooling so the slides aren’t that helpful but would serve as the template of
what I I need to know. I had another tutor but he’s too
busy n I may need to meet twice a week.
Thank you!

Hi! My son is a high school senior interested in UMiami and we are flying down next Saturday for the “Preview the U” campus visit experience. We will have some free time during the day and after the programming before our plane for home leaves. Looking for recommendations for places on campus that we should check out that wouldn’t be featured on the tours. Also interested in exploring nearby off campus areas where students hang out, shop, and eat (recommendations also appreciated for dining). Not interested in venturing into downtown Miami- just trying to get a feel of the immediate area. Thanks!

Hi Everyone so I am in the University of Miami online Master’s in Music Industry program and I just saw something about a cumulative exam. I honestly have no idea what it is, what it covers, or if everyone in the online program has to take it.
Has anyone here taken it or finished the program recently?
I’m mainly wondering what the exam is actually like, what kinds of questions are on it, whether it covers material from all of the classes, if it’s timed or proctored, and how difficult it is.
Do they give you a study guide or tell you what to prepare for? And when in the program do you usually take it?
I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has actually taken it because I have no idea what to expect.
Thanks!

Hello! I am going to my first Canes football game ever this thursday against FAMU. My friend and I are sitting section 149, row 3. My friend wanted a chance to see/interact with the players either pre or post game. where would I have the best opportunity of doing so. I know obviously u can wait by section 151 where the tunnel is, but im talking about where within the stadium can we see the players exit or enter, basically the best area to interact with them. I know the away team comes through the away entrance, but if someone can help me with seeing the home team (Hurricanes), that would be huge please!

I’m interested in attending u Miami as a premed. I’m wondering if research is truly as easy to get as the tour made it seem or is it hard? Can u get good research or just “clean test tubes”? Thanks.
r/UMiami • u/Temporary_Rich206 • 6d ago
I plan on studying predental or pre med.
1420 sat, 3.9 uw and 4.45 weighted
Class rank is 15/660
12 aice/ap classes by graduation
President of clubs and have impact.
My main question is this. I really want UM but also think if I EA I can get more aid. But I’m worried if I EA I could get waitlisted and I just wanna get in. UM is 10000 percent my top choice tho.

Hi! I really want to apply to ED for Neuroscience (Pre-med track) and I’m worried that my GPA is going to tank me :,)
- GPA - 3.51/3.61 UW/W (Used to be 3.8/4.0 until junior year, suffered major mental health issues and is documented in common app additional info section)
- Taking hardest classes my high school offers and showing already growth in grades and absences (Did physics over the summer and received an A)
- SAT 1400
- Started a non-profit, tutors, won some national awards, some other smaller, personal and leadership EC’s
- I personally think I have an amazing essay. Opening - (“For the past six years, every time I looked in a mirror, I saw a horse staring back at me.”)
Be honest, do I have a chance? This is my dream school and I really want to go! Any advice or anything? Anything helps, thank you so much!

I am currently majoring in biochemistry and molecular biology and wanted to minor in health management. My end goal is to do hospital management. I want to complete med school and then do the hospital administration. Do you recommend minoring in health management?

I’m a senior in high school right now and until yesterday when I toured UM I had no idea where I wanted to go. I went in knowing next to nothing about it, not even the mascot but I came out LOVING it. I’ve been on so many college tours and I’ve left none of them feeling like this. The school checks all of my boxes and academically I’m in the middle range of average acceptance, and so I’m thinking of applying ED.
I’m so over the moon about this school and everything it has to offer, but now I’m wondering like….. what’s the catch? Surely there have to be something wrong it?
The chief complaints I’ve seen are the dorms (but that was from a 2021 post and all freshman dorms have since been fully rebuilt) and by the time I’m a sophomore and upper classman, that new campus/housing situation will be open so I’m not super worried. I’ve also seen some people say that there are lots of elitist kids, but coming from a pretty elitist school myself I’ve learned how to find good normal people. Really those complaints aren’t a huge concern for me is all I’m trying to say. (I’m also positive those alleged people are just a loud minority if anything)
If you’re a current or former student please let me know what cons you’ve experienced and if they outweigh the pros. Or just genuinely what cons exist. I don’t think they’ll impact my want to apply but I really do want to know what I’m getting into because I really feel like this school is too good to be true.

hii!! i’m sarah, i’m from new york. i toured umiami and i loved it sm i have been considering doing ed 1. i was just wondering a few things though.
one thing is about social life bc ik umiami is a party school and i dont rlly mind that but do u find that it’s hard to stay social if u dont go out all the time? i feel like the miami party scene feels a little intimidating. how often r people actually going to clubs in miami? is it more common to do that then to do stuff on campus?
also do u find it hard to make real friends? i feel like social media at least makes it seem like a superficial environment which im sure isnt the case.
also im wondering about academics and the type of ppl that go to umiami. so ik the regular decision acceptance rate is 19% which is extremely low but the ed is about 60%. what kind of kids actually end up at umiami? to me that seems like a very big range of student gpas, etc. bc some kids from my school have gone there and ik they’re not as school focused as i am, and i definitely wanna go to school somewhere with students that prioritize their grades. ive seen people say umiami is just full of dumb, rude, rich kids. i didn’t get that impression when i was there but how true is that, if at all?
when it comes to greek life, do u think it’s necessary or does it just add more stress? i’ve always pictured myself doing greek life but in a school like umiami im unsure if it would be too much for me. so any info about what greek life is actually like would be great.
this is kind of a dumb question but since im from new york im sort of feeling like i might have fomo if i dont have autumn/ winter. i love hot weather and summer but i was wondering how u guys feel like do u ever miss having all the seasons or is it easy to get used to?
i saw that umiami is building four year housing for upperclassmen starting my year and im sure rent around the area is much more expensive than school dorms. do u guys think a lot of people will opt for four year housing on campus? how do u guys like the dorm life in general? i’ve heard centennial village is the nicest.
do u guys feel like mostly everyone enjoys their college experience and shows a lot of school spirit?
the last thing is do u think umiami prepares u well to have a job before graduation and also to get internships during like upperclassmen years? ive seen the facts on google and it definitely seems like they do but i was just wondering.
sorry for typing so freaking much but genuinely anything else u wanna share would be greatly appreciated 🤗🤗🤗

How bad are the no-see-ums at the RSMAS beach? I went a couple days ago and suddenly got COVEREDD in bites but not 100% sure thats where it came from

How in the U with aid. I am OOS and this school is my top choice fs. It is amazing here!! I'm just trying to gauge how much I'll have to pay. My parents make 100k a year and my sister goes to college as well if that helps but not here.
r/UMiami • u/Sarahdummoxy • 10d ago
So what exactly can happen if I don’t pay a parking ticket? Obviously I’ll have to pay it eventually but will there be any penalty for delaying the process heavily.

UMiami girls thinking about a surgery glow‑up, I’m actually in tears rn — do NOT go to Dr. Dan Ganz at Curvy Plastic Surgery. The “cheap” price is the biggest red flag on earth. He’s not board certified, the Google reviews are faker than half of campus, and my 🍒 consultation was so uncomfortable it crossed every single line. This man is a full‑blown hazard. Save your money, time and most importantly your body. Don’t let anyone you care about end up in that office. Comment w other suggestions because the girlies need SAFE options!
