U of Miami 2015 Forum

Dear University of Miami School of Law Board of Trustess,

I would like to withdraw my application have my merit-based aid reallocated to TLS-poster cass1230.

On a more serious note, I'll probably we withdrawing soon (not because of the class action suit or whatever, for other reasons). Hopefully someone gets the money/it helps someone out.

I'm on the waitlist and that would help me out LOL! So, yeah, if you're planning on withdrawing please do!

so I was recently accepted and am pretty excited about Miami, however it seems like they do not offer on campus housing to law students. Is that accurate?

UMiami does not offer on campus housing.

I attended Accepted Student Day and was impressed by the information which the Admissions Office offers to assist students. There is adequate housing near or around campus. You should assume you will pay $750 to $1200 per month for an apartment.

After the 1st deposit is made the Admissions Office puts together a roommate match list for entering students to shop for someone to live and share expenses with. You should call UMiami Admissions officers Michael Goodnight or Therese Lambert for additional information. Both are very approachable. Good luck.

thank you for the prompt and thorough reply. I will be flying down there in the next 2-3 weeks although I'm likely paying sticker so that's gonna be more money than I planned...

[paradox]

I advise you to call ahead and make an appointment to meet with either Mr. Goodnight or Ms. Lambert.

UMiami's presentation regarding academics at Accepted Student Day was impressive. UM's campus is also impressive in terms of location and neighborhood.

Good luck.

Gave up my Miami Scholars $. Hope it helps someone else.

[ghenkis khan]

Withdrew, freeing up $27,000 scholly. Hopefully it goes towards one of you!

[monkeysez]

My understanding from ASD is that it will not.

it does get reallocated to incoming students. It is the money that is lost by 1st year students who don't maintain the required GPA that is not recycled to incoming first years - it is divided amongst second and third year scholarships.

keep withdrawing please!

Nevermind, can't quite bring myself to withdraw given the circumstances. I was so close. GAHH! This is so frustrating. Each day I wake up and decide I want to attend a different school. Does this happen to anyone else?

[rglifberg]

C'mon man make a decision lol.. what other schools are you looking at?

[PolySuyGuy]

Yes, it does. Imagine having a significant other and adding that into the equation. I know 1L's and 2L's that do that still. They are always contemplating transfering.

[lawyerinwaiting]

soooooooo....i randomly decided to apply to the U yesterday. Not expecting anything fancy but we'll see what happens.

[bajafresk]

what's the deal with the roomate referral or matching service? do we just go on the 2015 facebook page? im gonna wait till next week to send in my first seat deposit, i heard once you send it in you get access to the roomate page

[wobwob]

I think you just fill out the form on the accepted students page. After the deposits are submitted, they should send out all the information to those who are looking for roommates.

[elusiventity]

Has anyone received a scholarship offer within the last few weeks? I'm curious.

[Prospect]

Just put down my seat deposit. Anyone else on here already committed?

[wobwob]

Paid my deposit last friday.

[elusiventity]

I will be paying my deposit within the next week.

I declined the Miami Scholars scholarship...hopefully someone else interested in public interest will get it. Withdrawing and going to FSU as of yesterday.

Why FSU over Miami?

Cheaper tuition overall because I plan on doing a dual-degree. I love Miami and the programs they offer, but Id be paying sticker for the Masters even though my JD would come out to about 13k a year. Also, COL in Miami is exorbitant compared to Tally.
