2014-2015 University of Miami (Miller) Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Called today and they were able to reset my password for me. When you call the number on the letter, select option 1, not option 2 that's recommended. Option 2 for biomedical will tell you that they have moved to a new number and forward you to someone who has nothing to do with IT.

Also, whenever you finally get into CaneLink, click on the "student center" button in the middle to get to the page where you can update personal information.

Thanks for the info!
 
im holding out hope for the next hour.
 
Got the email about 10 minutes ago. Alternate list.
 
My interviewer told me "You would be a great fit at the school. Hope to see you in the fall." Then, I got hit with the alternate list 🙁
22 more days until April 30. The waiting game continues.

Not me, but that sounds really promising!! Fingers crossed for you. I would assume that means something...
Are you MD only or MD/MPH

Sorry for the confusion. I did not receive an email myself. Just inquiring if others have.
I applied MD & MD/MPH.

Same thing happened to me at 3 schools...I honestly believe that the decision is already made preinterview unless u:

ACE ur interview or FAIL ur interview

If u do like most ppl (nice, courteous, polite, charming)...I think the decision is already made
 
I wish we all knew our rank on this alternate list. Or at least which third, quartile, etc. Then it'll be easier to decide whether to keep hope alive or not.
 
Do you think an update letter or a letter of intent will affect the alternate list ranking?
 
WAS ACCEPTED TODAY OFF THE ALTERNATE LIST!!! Interviewed in march. Does anyone know if there is a Facebook group for accepted students and if so what is the link??? I can’t seem to find it

I tried a LOI already like 6 weeks ago. No dice, so proceed with caution lol.

Well folks, at least we're moving down the list!
 
So I never received a call or email yesterday... Interviewed in March and my application portal still says that my "application and interview report will be reviewed a final time by the admissions committee"... wondering what this means considering April 8th was supposed to be the last time the committee met. Perhaps I have an email coming my way today.

In the same situation, I'm not really sure what to think.
 
Has anyone else that has been accepted not received info for CaneLink?

I have not!

When you do receive your CaneLink information and if your temporary password doesn't work, try placing a dash between the digits and the letters. I contacted IT and they told me the password I was given was not quite right....but the letter in the mail did not indicate to do so. Hope this makes it easier on you both!
 
Just got accepted from the alternative list today at 8:36 am! Got the call from Dean Weisman! SUPER EXCITED!! Going to be a cane!
Interviewed February 13th and was waitlisted March 11th. Sent a letter of Intent yesterday (4/13/15), not sure if that was the reason for the acceptance though 🙂

The alternate list is ranked, so probably not. But congrats! This means the list is moving and hopefully all of us will eventually be accepted off it!

But Dean Weisman did say (at least at my interview day) that letters could bump you to an acceptance if you are close to the top.

Guess I'm not at the top. Then again, I sent in my LOI back in late Feb, while @Nels Bells sent theirs yesterday.

Were you holding any other acceptances?

Hey yeah, I can't really judge where the acceptance came from, but it does seem a bit random... And yes I was still holding another acceptance. Keep up hope guys!

When you sent your LOI yesterday, did the admissions office confirm they received it? I have no idea if they read it or not, but it took them forever to reply with confirmation for me.
 
So uh anyone else get the financial aid package today? I got the email but too afraid to look lol
 
How do you know what your password is for the CaneID? When I click "forgot password" it tells me it can't show me the password because I haven't answered security questions, but when I try to answer those it requires a login.

Your password should be MMDD-Ll where MMDD is your date of birth and Ll= first two letters of your last name.
For example if you are John Smith born on 1st of March, your password would be 0301-Sm.

The information they sent out did not include the dash initially, but it is necessary.
