Post Application Submission FAQs

Yes, you may update your decision to have your application reviewed with or without test scores even after you have submitted your application. Applicants will be given an extra 15 days past their selected admission plan deadline to update their file. Here are some examples of testing-specific updates applicants can make:

• Submit test scores for the Admission Committee’s consideration
• Update your test scores
• Update your choice to be test optional or not

To make these and other changes, applicants must complete the Test Score Updates form in the Applicant Portal.

Submit your application by the stated deadline: November 1 for Early Decision I and Early Action or January 1 for Early Decision II and Regular Decision. We hope that offering you the opportunity to make these updates up to 15 days past your selected admission plan deadline will provide you with any needed flexibility.

No, we do not require a mid-year report in order to be admitted. However, your school counselor may submit the mid-year report and updated senior year grades on your behalf if you wish for this information to be added to your admission application file.

• Early Decision I applicants will be notified in mid-December.
• Early Action applicants will be notified in late January.
• Early Decision II applicants will be notified in late February.
• Regular Decision applicants will be notified by April 1.

Please notify us of this change at admission@miami.edu with the subject line "Schedule Change" and request for new transcripts to be sent directly from your high school. Be sure to include your full name and date of birth on all correspondence.

Admission decisions are available via the applicant portal. Students should monitor their email closely for a notification that a decision has been posted.

Our policy dictates that we cannot reveal an applicant’s admission decision via email or telephone. 

If at any point in time you wish to withdraw your application, please complete the withdrawal form in the applicant portal under Request Forms.
