2019-2020 Miami (Miller)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Also interviewed early March and people that interviewed after me heard back already, i'm not really sure what to expect at this point
I'm in the same boat :/

Members don't see this ad.
 
I think they email you even if you are placed on the alternate list. What does your portal say?
I've had the "your final admissions committee decision will be available shortly..contact the office if you don't receive anything within seven days" message since February. I've called a few times throughout March and was told they would send an email regarding my decision soon. But nothing so far haha.

For anyone who interviewed in March, did they mention if they send post interview rejections? I remember hearing we either get an acceptance call or an alternate list email

Oh wow I'm sorry that's interesting... mine still says "Your applications and interview report will be reviewed a final time by the Admissions Committee..." so I am not too hopeful about getting a decision soon lol

I feel it might actually take WEEKS for Miami to email this batch due to the recent stay at home order
 
Was there any emails on Wed though? It seems like no one said anything, though it might be just cuz it was 4/1 XD

I just called, and I think my call got forwarded to someone's cell phone and I woke them up because she sounded super sleepy, haha. I asked about my portal saying to call, and she just said we'll email you soon' but didn't ask for my AMCAS ID or anything.

So my plan is just to put it out of my mind and wait.

Been waiting for a committee decision since February. I just called and was told to wait for an email lol. Also asked if all interviewees are placed on the alternate list even if they don't get an email, and she just said you'll get an email once the committee makes its decision. Super vague.

Yeah placed on alternate list in December. Never sent updates, but did send a letter of intent a little over a month ago.
 
Has anyone admitted to the MD program received a merit scholarship yet? If so, do you know if you need to submit your FAFSA to Miller in order to be considered, or is everyone automatically considered and reviewed for merit scholarships?

I got a scholarship and the wording in the email made it seem like a merit scholarship. If I remember correctly from what they said at the interview, the fafsa is not required for merit award considerations (although it is required for enrollment and other awards so might as well submit it asap.)

We’re thinking the wording is the same for merit and non-merit scholarships btw; I msged some ppl here and we got the same email but diff scholarship sources once verified. You can contact the admin office to verify if its merit or not

When did you guys fill out the scholarship form? Just wondering if that's required to hear back about aid

There’s a scholarship form? How do you access it?
 
I received a scholarship and did not fill out any scholarship form.

There is an application for need based and diversity scholarships. Everyone is considered for merit scholarships to my understanding.

Oh my GOD.
So my husband and I are driving to our new house with a trailer of stuff to start moving that day since my vacation has been cancelled, but I don’t know when we’re leaving. So I might be joining y’all from a moving pickup truck somewhere on the highway in Pennsylvania. But that don’t stop me! Count me in.
