im waitlisted also...got into uf and usf but would choose miami @ boca in a heartbeat
Hey people, you all still alive?!?! Boca is practically it's own entity, so I think people should use this for Boca questions, comments....
Well...I'm a doctor now, so I have to be able to save lives heheYay! The UM Boca thread has been resuscitated!
Ok, it's pretty safe to say that we will probably be our own entity up in Boca and not that affiliated with the main campus in terms of activities and tests and all that.
So...BUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know if you all heard, but ALL of the Boca students have passed STEP I so far. We have a few late exam takers who we're waiting to hear back from. But so far, everyone else has passed. The average score has not been released.
If all of you are coming here next year, the first thing that needs to happen is that you need to get the name of the campus correct. Do not ever call us FAU. Never. Never. You were all accepted to the University of Miami, and are therefore University of Miami students. The correct name of this campus is The Boca Campus. You should refer to yourselves as Boca students. And if anyone ever says otherwise, you should correct that person immediately.
I know that people try to throw around the terms "FAU campus" or "FAU students"---many of the perpetrators involve our faculty. However, using the word "FAU" is insulting to all of the students here because (1) it negates their efforts in getting accepted to the University of Miami and (2) it creates a greater separation between the two campuses.
Everyone of you will feel discriminated against for picking the Boca campus. Your Miami classmates will openly say that you're not smart enough and had to go to the north campus. The last thing you need to give some credibility to their statements by pushing the two campuses apart even farther.
Now that I'm done with my diatribe, welcome to the Boca campus.
Ha...I think the FAU students are going to knock everyone's socks off. I just didn't want to go to school there, because of my own personal reasons that made me feel like miami would be a better fit.Are you implying that there is something wrong with FAU? There will be several FAU undergrads attending the "boca campus" and we don't appreciate derogatory feelings regarding FAU. I applied only to the fau campus because I like FAU, the Biomed bldg and the faculty. If some of the miami students think that us fau students aren't as smart it's because it helps them feel better about themselves.

BTW, now would be a good time to say that I'm really going to miss getting to know all you Boca people, but hopefully we can chill a bit at orientation
