Questions on the application process?

WHEN SHOULD I APPLY?

Prospective students are encouraged to apply the fall of before their freshman year in college. For the majority of students this means they will be applying the fall of their senior year. If a high school student plans to graduate a year early, he or she should apply the fall of their ‘junior’ year.

If you’re one of those interested in applying, go to www.miami.edu/apply to get all of the details on submitting your application!
