Admission Decision Notification

A number of you have asked when we will begin to notify applicants of our admission decisions. For those who have applied Early Decision or Early Action, you will receive notification in December. For those who are waiting to apply Regular Decision, we will notify you in March.

Highest Composite Score

Caroline Mosley asked a very important question to which many of you would also like to have the answer. She asked, “…if I took the test on two different dates, will you take the highest composite or the highest section of each test and create a new composite?” UM admission counselors reviewing the applications want to give you the best chance of being admitted and therefore calculate for you the highest scores to make you the most competitive. That being said, we take the highest scores of each section and combine them to give you the highest possible composite score, even if we are combining sections scores from different tests.

Taylor K. asked, “Is it required that SAT and ACT scores “officially” be sent to UM through College Board/the ACT program?” The answer is yes. Make sure that the agency has been notified to send us your scores by your application deadline.
