• $50 Application Fee (non-refundable)
  The application fee may be submitted online at www.commonapp.org with a credit card or electronic funds transfer from a bank account, or through the mail with a check or money order made payable to Miami University. In order to submit the application fee online, applicants must first submit the Common Application or Miami's Supplement to the Common Application online. For students who qualify, an official fee waiver form may be submitted in lieu of the application fee. Students requesting a fee waiver must submit a waiver form from the College Board, the National Association for College Admission Counseling (download PDF), or a letter from a guidance counselor or representative of a social service/community agency stating that the fee would cause financial hardship.

  Complete the applicant portion of the Secondary School Report (also available at www.commonapp.org) and give the form to your counselor. Counselors must complete and mail this form to Miami or submit it online through the Common Application website. The Secondary School Report contains space for your counselor to write a letter of recommendation, but if you would prefer to obtain a letter of recommendation from a teacher instead, you may do so. Only one letter of recommendation is required.
  
  
• Official High School Transcript
  Your counselor must submit your official high school transcript electronically or by mail. (A copy of your senior course schedule must be included.)
  
  
• ACT/SAT Scores
  These scores must be sent directly from the testing agency. You can request submission of these scores to Miami by contacting ACT or the College Board (SAT). Miami's ACT code is 3294; the SAT code is 1463. This requirement includes the ACT/SAT writing exam. (For admission and review purposes, no preference is given for ACT or SAT; Miami uses the highest test score submitted. For ACT, the best composite score is used; for SAT, the best Critical Reading and Math sub-scores are used.)
  
  
• Additional Application Requirements
  We do not conduct interviews as part of the general admission process. Other application requirements may exist, depending on your academic interest or financial need, see additional application requirements.
