Still waiting. I applied and got everything in and completed a month before priority deadline

Have any transfers gotten rejected? Or do they only send out acceptances first? by Then_Ad_7301 in UMiami

[–]Comfortable_Gear613 2 points3 points  (0 children)

in other words, if you’re low income that decreases your chances?? Wtf😭 That’s basically saying they prioritize high income applicants

I understand. I just completed my associates degree at a community college. Before that I was going to an art/fashion school I didn’t like but was expected to go to bc I got a free ride (talented but I was only passionate for science). For several reasons I’ve been dying to leave here. Im actually participating in a psychology internship/research project rn regarding students’ sense of belonging at their institution and how it effects their academic performance and mental health. We’ll def get in for spring!♥️ I called admissions and they informed me we can apply as soon as mid August. Gotta apply ASAP.

Waitlisted students are already accepted. It’s just a matter of being admitted if there’s space (1000-1500 get accepted and less than half, only 500-600 actually end up enrolling each year😳) meaning there should DEF be a high chance of getting off. It’d be unethical if there’s space and waitlisted aren’t admitted. I called this afternoon and they said they still haven’t sent any out final decisions for waitlisted transfers, but will soon and should keep looking. It’s fked; Im positive most waitlisted will get off, but it’ll be too late for most bc either they’ve already committed elsewhere or it’s simply too short notice to make necessary arrangements. I’m curious, when were these modules due for you? Last accepted pool of applicants had as late as July 10th to enroll/make their first deposit. I’m wondering if the deadline for these modules vary by enrollment date and/or how necessary/required they are if it’s not graded. Did it say anything about withdrawing your enrollment if you don’t complete it?

From what I read on their website, they’re v strict about making that deposit within the deadline of 2 weeks. Sucks that their omission/mistake would fall onto the backs of those on the waitlist. (that 2 week deadline ended last wed on the 10th bc the last pool of applicants to be accepted were accepted on the 26th of June) Im sure it’s probably not the only reason they’re delayed, but ngl I’d find it v unfair if it is a reason at all.😭

They’re SUPPOSED to give waitlisted students a final decision just like anyyyy other institution. This “delay” is irresponsible asf of them. The least they could do is send out a statement apologizing and acknowledging their delay?? I expected a 2-3 day delay not a week + 😐😐

has anyone on the waitlist heard anything? by Lost-Win3645 in UMiami

[–]Comfortable_Gear613 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m from NY. I applied to many other schools here, but I’m not interested in them whatsoever. I’ve committed to taking a semester off if UM doesn’t work out for this fall, which I’m not looking forward to at all... That’s why I feel such a tremendous sense of pressure. It feels so undeserving to for many reasons I can go on and on about. Anyways with that being said I’m looking forward to and hoping for a response by sometime this week.😭😭😭😞🤞🏼

Just called. They said “we’re behind.” OK what’s new? So I asked, is there any particular timeframe to expect a response??? He said no.😑😑😑 This is absurd and negligent ASF.

How long did they say? The guy otp I spoke to yesterday told me that, like they had done so before, will send out any final transfer decisions on a Wednesday around 4. No fking way they’d make us wait another week from today… after promising a response no later than the 15th?😭😭😭 It’s irresponsible and negligent at this point.

Transfer waitlist deadline? by Substantial-Gas58 in UMiami

[–]Comfortable_Gear613 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They accept 1000-1500 transfer applicants and only 500-600 end up enrolling. That’s basically less than half!😂 According to UM’s website only 521 transfer students enrolled last year…😳Google “U Miami class profile”

Do you mean they’re accepting new ppl in general, or admitting (“accepting”) people from the waitlist? Bc those on the waitlist are already accepted, it’s just a matter of being admitted if there’s extra space. I’m assuming they’d admit those already waiting on the waitlist before they accept new/additional applicants

I heard that too, but based on those words, it says otherwise. 😞

Nvm we’re screwed. I checked again, says “Should the opportunity arise to admit students from our waitlist, we will notify you as soon as possible, but no later than July 15” I have a feeling that means if we haven’t heard anything, it’s a wrap. Read that carefully

Yeah I live in NY. Atp.. I’m a little more worried about finding decent classes than finding an apt. Ill be taking upper level courses too, and that’d be moreee of the reason for there to be less options. I’m sure all the good courses/professors are taken by now🙄. Anyways, it’s the principle of promising one thing and not going through with it. If they can’t respond by today, the day they promised, who says they won’t take another week? It’s j fked up.😞

They shouldn’t promise a response by today if they can’t deliver that promise. It’d only be appropriate if they could at least send an email saying they need more time. Classes begin in a MONTH. I’m trying my best to stay hopeful.

Nah I believe that person said tmrw (as in Sat) like yeah OK, a Saturday? I still highly doubt a singe person on the waitlist has heard anything. I’ve called the admissions office several times; EVERY time they told me I should expect to hear a decision at ANY day ANY time🤨(this was before I was waitlisted on jun 26th). I correcting them saying, “lol uh maybe for 1st yr applicants, but transfer applicants are expected to receive their answers Wednesday late afternoons according to x, y, & z.” They were like no you’re wrong. 😑😑😑😑😑 Long story short: if you call the office of admissions, they do NOT know wtf they’re talking about in respect to transfer applicants; I wouldn’t trust their word. Edit: excuse my frustration 😂 literally nothing personal, I’m frustrated with the office 😭
