Applied 11/16/10, still haven't received my CaneID email or confirmation yet. NOT COOL UM. NOT COOL.

Does Miami give out fee waivers with any ease? I want to apply but I doubt they would give me any scholly money. 2.9/164-pending retake

Idk. When I applied, I assumed I did not have one; however, when I hit submit they said I had a fee waiver. I'm sure they aren't too stingy with them. Both my brother and I had one. I think your 164 will get you a fee waiver.

[Sandro]

Just checked, no fee waiver. I will email them tonight and ask for one.

I went complete November 29th. Haven't heard anything yet. Their JD/MM in Music Business is my ideal program. Hopefully I can transfer into that program if I don't get in for first year. I'm still waiting to hear from Stetson, FIU, and Nova. I've been accepted to Barry and St. Thomas. If these are the only two schools I will get into, I will most likely choose St. Thomas and try to transfer to Miami or FIU for 2L, or I will stay at St. Thomas and apply for the JD/MBA in Sports Management. I currently am a booking agent for music and sports, so this program would be a great supplement to my current practice. Any advice from Floridians would be greatly appreciated.

I applied fully expecting to pay the app fee. To my surprise I had a fee wavier when I checked out, which was awesome . I never received any communication I would be getting this fee wavier. My numbers are 160/3.75. You could probably call there admissions office and get a fee wavier if you asked. And I wouldn't be so sure about the lack of scholly because Miami really wants to raise their LSAT median so they would be looking for splitters.

When I had them send me a copy of the 20 questions you should ask yourself about law school or whatever they sent a fee waiver w that. Unfortunately it was too late because I had applied about a month earlier.

I e-mailed and asked and received one. 161/3.32. The lady I spoke to was really nice too.

I emailed and asked for one and they granted my request. I had to print something out and mail it to them after I submitted my app, not ideal, but a fee wavier is worth the 44 cents in postage.

I just got in today, but does anybody know about scholarship info? It didn't say anything in my acceptance letter, so I'm assuming that means no, but if so I'm really disappointed. Did anybody else get any $$?

[TT09]

Looks like I'll be riding the waiting list. Damn.

I do not believe Miami has given any information about scholarships yet

+1. I was looking at some people who received scholarships the last few years with 165/2.9 or lower and they were significant 20,000/yr. Miami's LSAT median is not good which makes them somewhat desperate for high lsats and not necessarily opposed to splitters. I'm in with a 165/2.7 and they dont send out scholly notification for 3-4 weeks from what I read in the online packet. I hope I get something.

I didn't hear a single word from them until one day when they told me to go to myUM because there was an update (it was my acceptance). So maybe now that we're getting into the busy part of the cycle, they're slower with IDs.

Could always call...I applied 12/1 and got my Cane ID like one or two days later
