“If you want to get into Miami get involvedMar 09 2008History/Histories (art history/etc.)
If you want to get into Miami get involved in as many extracurricular clubs in high school as you can and get decent grades. The standards are getting lower and lower to get in so you'll probably stand a good chance of getting in, unless you are stupid.

“Honestly, all you have to do is join aMar 26 2007Journalism
Honestly, all you have to do is join a club or sport in high school and get average grades. Miami got this reputation of being a "public ivy" in the '80s (that's right, over 20 years ago)and its discouraged people from applying. But you wouldn't believe how many idiots go to school here. I read online Miami accepts over 70% of its applicants, so you could even get a few C's (maybe even a D) and get in. Not so sure about test scores though, but most of the students here are about average.
