First-Year Students
Ohio’s new Guaranteed Admission (OGA) Program provides Ohio high school seniors who rank in the top 10% of their graduating class a clear path to college admission. The program ensures our state’s outstanding students have access to Ohio’s public colleges and universities — including Miami!
Top 5% of Senior Class
Students in the top 5% of their class are guaranteed admission to Miami’s main campus in Oxford, Ohio, as long as they complete their application by published deadlines, providing all required materials. These students are also likely to qualify for the state’s Governor’s Merit Scholarship. Students who meet our Dec. 1 deadline are also automatically considered for Miami merit scholarships (including Miami’s own Ohio Governor’s Scholarship). Admission to a specific major is not guaranteed.
Top 10% of Senior Class
Students in the top 10% of their class who complete their application by published deadlines, providing all required materials, are guaranteed admission to the Miami system, including all campuses as well as Miami Online.
How to qualify for guaranteed admission at Miami
Beginning in 2025, qualifying high school seniors willnreceive a Class Rank Certification Form. To qualify for guaranteed admission to Miami, students should upload the form to their Miami applicant status page and complete their application, including the submission of all required materials, by Miami's published deadlines.
This process is currently under review by ODHE and is subject to change. This page will be updated to reflect any change to the process as soon as Miami University is informed.
