[quote=Anonymous]I think U of Miami must be playing the yield game. Thats very high stats for U of Miami. DS with close to the same stats but with a strong SAT was accepted 2 years ago but offered no merit. We were surprised since we know lots of kids with considerably lower stats who got lots of merit. I had to conclude they didn’t think he’d come. To the PP who mentioned acceptance rate, it’s really not that great of a metric. For example, if 100 students apply to a program and the program takes 20, it doesn’t tell you the quality of the other 80 applicants. Maybe 40 of those were huge reaches and never stood a chance. I know U of Chicago does massive marketing to increase apps and decrease acceptance rate. I guarantee that results in not remotely competitive kids submitting apps. They marketed heavily to my DD who didn’t stand a chance. Keep in mind U of Miami is very popular due to location and especially with the international community which drives up application numbers.
