The problem with FIU is that that the alumni base is a worthless bunch. We have over 100k alumni, yet our alumni contributions are amongst the worst in the nation. Ill try to find the report that says this. Our last President, Madique, did absolutely nothing to bring back the alumni and now its showing. You cant have a law school, medical school and an UG institution with over 35,000 students with no funding.

It seems as if though our new President, Rosenberg, wants to make more of an effort to attract alumni and their contributions. He gave a great speech during my December 2009 commencement and I receive about 2 emails a week from the FIU Alumni Association.

Point is that yes FIU has to step up its game. For far too long the mantra was "let everybody in, let them get their diploma and then kick them out the door". I'm hoping that in the next decade our UG institution is more recognized, our law school is in the top 100 and our sports teams, particularly football, are successful. Too many FIU alumni support the school in Coral Gables...

If the decision is in the mail you should get it today. If by 3:00 p.m. you have not gotten it, I say call Alma Miro and ask whether you have been admitted because you would like to go to the event tomorrow.

Got the mail but nothing from FIU. Guess I am going to have to call. Did you get admitted? And if so did your online status tell you that you did or did you have to wait for the mail? Thanks

I'm a 2L at the college of law. I was told my decision over the phone, but I have heard they don't do that anymore.

It will be 200 pages worth of reading, and it will say the books you need to buy and the section you are in. It will have an schedule of the activities for the week, and that's about it. Orientation is much less exciting than they make it seem. lol

lol not really! but I'm just like that! I decided to go to law school just a year before. It was not a life-long plan! Plus I had just gotten married and come home from a week in paradise. Law school was the last thing in my mind.

Mine was snail mail. Letter from Admissions, a letter from the dean of the LS, and a letter from Financial Aid all came in on the same day.

last year, they were pulling people off the wait list up until the day before orientation.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
