As soon as I logged in for the first time I was greeted with a screen congratulating me on being accepted.Mikey1 wrote:No, I didn't know because it doesn't say anything about being accepted or congratulations or anything about a seat deposit.

Well then you're probably not accepted, or at least not yet. You'll know in the next 2 weeks I'm sure.

Re: In at Miami!
Would it be considered rude for me to call and inquire about any potential scholarships? Or is that ok?

Merit based scholarships will come in the mail in a couple weeks. Need based will come late March with FAFSA results.

Re: In at Miami!
it doesn't mean anything. i logged in over the weekend. i think if you're an applicant, then you're in the system. i called them today and the lady told me that a decision has not been made, but i would hear "within a week or so." Considering that people who have gone complete around the time I did (mid january) have all been accepted, I think they rejected me. the "within week or so" means the time it takes for the letter to arrive.Mikey1 wrote:No, I didn't know because it doesn't say anything about being accepted or congratulations or anything about a seat deposit.

There was a really annoying girl in the video who constantly talked about her "friends." It really irritated me

Err...
The first time I used the status checker, I swear I remember a welcome to miami you have been accepted screen. Never since then. I just go straight on to the system. I wrote to them asking about what the situation was and asked how long the letter took to go out... am I in or not?
