Miami is awesome, great weather and lots of fun. I hope you come prepared to blow lots of cash though, things get expensive quick.

any recommendations on bars or clubs?

I would recommend Club E11even, FDR, Story, and Basement. You can also check out LIV but be warned drinks there are expensive as hell and full of snobby people. Also, try and pre game as much as possible.

Has anyone talked to admissions and know if this is the week we will be hearing back?

no i'm just assuming because someone on this thread heard back last week so hopefully more will this week.
 
Is the new version of the website still up? Seems like 2 weeks ago I saw a new FAQ with a lot of updated info that I can't find now. Seems like it said the class was upsized to 100 students and they expected 400 apps? Did I dream this or did anyone else see that?

Yea I saw it too. I think they had trouble with their new website and took it down to make some tweaks.
 
Thought that was the case. Probably why we aren't hearing back yet? I'm guessing they are trying to reduce the amount of paper moving around their program by doing everything by server instead of mail. In which case, they don' t want a bunch of people trying to accept and set up until this thing is in place. Ay?

That makes sense, but we still should be hearing back soon.

I talked to them and they said, at least for me, that it would be within the next two/three weeks. That was two weeks ago, so hopefully we should hear something soon!

I feel like they'll let a bunch of people know at once.
They seem to be making a lot of changes this year.
 
Did you get in if you don't mind me asking and is so what were your stats?

I hope it's soon! I have to let another program know my decision soon, but I'm trying to wait till I hear back from here first!

I hope tomorrow is the day if not I'm going to have to look into applying to other programs.

I spoke to Alisa last week and asked if she could give me an idea of when I should be hearing back. She said that my file was already out for review by the admission committee, and that it depended on their schedule on how quickly they turned it around to her, but it shouldn't be too much longer. Maybe we should be hearing back at the same time since we were complete around the same time.

Was it a bad idea to not send in a Personal Statement atop the essay question responses? I wrote a whole PS but at the last second decided not to send it because I felt there was just too much layover between it and the essay question responses. I hope they don't think it was omitted due to laziness.

I did the same thing. Everything that was guided by the essays turned out to be a great deal of what I would have put into a personal statement about this program. Instead of packing in another 500 word statement I used around 420 words on my desire to attend the program essay and 493 words describing my best qualities.

Stumpy. I love that profile pic. I'm guessing that's from one of the scenes where he goes to see the doctor played by Ricky Gervais?

Yep! Louie is great.

By the way, does anyone know if they give some in-state preference? My guess is probably not.
 
looking at least year's thread, people started finding out around the last week of March!
