<p>I’m not a transfer, but I will comment on financial aid. I’m locked in an appeal process right now hoping to make it happen. LMU’s EFC is more than three-fourths of my family’s income reported on the FAFSA which, as one LMU financial aid counselor commented, was “rock bottom” (our income that is). I was pretty disappointed. I’m fortunate to have Pepperdine as a back up but still, this is where I really want.
I received my financial award VERY LATE. As in, the last day possible which made my appeal past the deadline to get an answer before May 1. Nice, huh? It is NOT generous. DO NOT GET YOUR HOPES UP. If anything, you’ll be extra happy if things turn out differently? It’s all I can offer.</p>
