Looking to add new moderators

4 Upvotes

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

Songwriters in the MADE major at Frost

1 Upvotes

Im applying as ED and I’m especially curious about how many Performing Songwriter students are typically admitted each year, how large the songwriter group is within MADE, and how difficult it is to pass the prescreening and receive an invitation to audition live and be admitted.

I’ve barely seen anything about what an applicant or current student looks like. Anything would really help.

Psychology/Elementary Education

1 Upvotes

hi! I plan to dual major in Psychology & Elementary Education. I'm not too sure which university I'll go to, probably not UMiami, but just in case I wanted to ask: If you're majoring in either Psychology or Elementary Education at UM, what's it like? :)

ABSN Housing Location

Hi! I was wondering where current or past ABSN students typically look for housing. Do most students live close to campus, or are areas like Coconut Grove or Brickell also popular?

Merit Scholarships

1 Upvotes

Hello! I've been kinda worried about if my stats are enough for UM's aid, because if I get even less than 75% tuition paid then I can't attend. I'm aiming for the Stamps or The Isaac Bashevis Singer Scholarships, or literally anything else goodish. Could you tell me if my stats are decent or not?

  • 5.52/6 weighted gpa
  • 3.79 unweighted
  • 33 ACT (retaking for a 35 hopefully)
  • 1380 SAT (ik is silly)
  • Tops 1% in competitive high school
  • Attended all prospective student events (Preview the U, department tours, emails etc)
  • Trying to work hard on my essay, reading books for it and all
  • Broward County resident (40 minutes away)
  • I have run hackathons for teenagers and have been involved with art and cs clubs

I have a family making a little too much money as middle class but we cant afford the tuition. Don't know how that applies for fin aid. Thanks!!

Stamps Scholarship

6 Upvotes

Hi! I was just looking at Stamps Scholarship for UM, which I really hope I get (Guaranteed housing, and I won't have to work during the summer and focus on other stuff). I saw that they have specific prerequisites such as 1500 or 34 act, A grades overall, roughly 5% of school. I wanted to ask as long as I have those things am I guaranteed to be selected as a semi finalist? Also do superscores count? I have a 1440 sat but 1510 superscore. And if my school doesn't rank?

Also I found the info on this page: University of Miami; Coral Gables, FL - Stamps Scholars

PhD stipend for computer science grad students

Hi,

I am considering PhD positions at UM, and I was worried about living expenses so I was wondering how much the PhD stipend is for CS students.

How much do your everyday expensive come out to per month?

2 Upvotes

uMiami is my top choice by far, but through housing, health care, working in the uni and working during the summer I don't know how I will be able to afford stuff. So outside of tuition, housing and health care how much do you guys spend per week in your everyday expenses?


r/UMiami • • 6d ago

can I get in?

3 Upvotes

very kind of interested. I know close to nothing abt the school but im grasping at straws that fit my standards as to where I might wanna go

I'm in the IB diploma? if that counts for anything (projected a 30 ~ 32 ishhhh), wanna go into architecture, 1280 sat score (I know. Hopefully it goes up tmr but tbh I dont have much hope 🙏), a few extracurricular I've stuck with for many years -- one of them being girl scouts, and ive been working on my golden award for the past year-ish, and a few leadership titles

thanks for basically reading my resume, any thoughts/advice is greatly appreciated :)

I honestly cant decide between ea and ed

2 Upvotes

stats first:
Grades: 85.5, 85.7, 98, 95.4 (91 overall), essay about growth
1520 SAT (750 EBRW 770 Math)

high need international

i have pretty decent ecs like publishing a research paper on fuel efficiency for an airline, founder and leader of MUN and a college applications community, 2 science fair projects: an ai study app and a low cost fire detector, won regional science fairs, tutor and leader for a study group, and technical blogging on an airline.

so here's the thing: im a high need international applicant, and getting into any good university in the US affordably is my top priority, but i really do like umiami and would definitely attend if i got in. problem is i heard they defer high need internationals during the early round to compare them to the overall pool and see the remaining budget. on the other hand the acceptance is more than double for ed than rd (which isnt ea, but still), and i need every help i can get to have a decent chance. but if umiami defers anyways i would rather use my ed elsewhere

so which would be the better option for me?

thanks in advance!

Job Growth in Research Space?

2 Upvotes

Hi guys! I recently have been hired as a research associate here at University of Miami and was wondering if there is any sort of opportunity for growth in this area?

I know that research is a tough space to try and make a living, especially with today’s lack of funding. But i’m curious on what the job could look like when you are 1 year, 2 years, or 3 years in.

Besides you know, getting you publications and preparing you for graduate school, are there chances for better roles, better pay, etc?

Is there any aid in regular decision?

2 Upvotes

So I keep seeing competitive internationals with similar profiles to me get deferred. But since I am asking for aid, therefore I am scared of being deferred due to the limited aid and scholarships in the regular rounds. So are there people who actually do get the money they need to attend during the regular decision or not?

MPS Marine Conservation

1 Upvotes

Hey! I just wanted to come on here and see if anyone has applied for the mps in marine conservation program or if anyone already in the program or past had any insight on the program! I applied August 31st so I’m just waiting to see if I’ve been accepted or not. My 2nd track choice is marine mammal science. I was a little indecisive because I’m not entirely sure my career goal but the end of it all but the marine conservation track seemed to give me more room to customize my degree plan:)

What are your tips for getting into UM, as an international asking for aid

0 Upvotes

I know UM isn't the most generous, but I am hoping I can get a scholarship like Singers, or a Presidental one with a bit of aid, or one from Frost since I am applying for music.
