Miami University-Hamilton Top Questions

What should every freshman at Miami University-Hamilton know before they start?

Catherine

If I could travel back to a single point in my high school senior year, I would go back to September 2008, my first week of senior year. Based on my experiences during this first year in college, I would emphasize the importance of focusing on SAT preparation and review courses. Unfortunately I did not take a formal SAT review course, nor did I spend much time practicing on my own for the exam. I took the SAT in the spring of my senior year and did not do well; I was no-where near achieving my potential due to lack of preparation and complacency. Within the past 6 months of my transition to college it dawned on me that if I lived up to my potential on SAT performance I would have been in a strong position to enter the competitive formal education program at my college. Since I did not achieve the score required for direct entry to the program, I have to take another test very similar to the SAT at the end of my freshman year - thus delaying entry into a program that I consider critical to my long term goal of becoming an educator.
