Congrats on the acceptances! How long did it take you guys to get your decision? I applied mid-October but did not have my letters of rec or transcript in until November 1. I know my application has only been complete for two weeks but I’m so anxious to hear back. Loyola is at the top of my list so I’m excited to get my decision.
I was accepted on November 8th and I got the Trustee Scholarship (20k)! I have a 3.7 weighted GPA and a 1230 super score for the SAT. All of my materials were submitted on October 25, but I initially applied in mid September!
DD received her acceptance and a Loyola Scholarship for 22k on 11/11. Very excited since Loyola Chicago is a top choice. She submitted her application earlier but her application was complete on 10/31. 3.97 weighted gpa and 1210 SAT. Thrilled to receive the generous merit aid with her middle of the middle 50% Loyola Chicago SAT score (according to College Data website). Yay!
Best of luck to all who are awaiting decisions.
Congrats to those accepted. D is still waiting. Applied early September and everything was submitted 10/21 according to her portal. Hopefully any day now. She has heard from a couple of schools already, but LUC is among her top choices.
this may be a stupid question but when you get accepted, how will you know? will it show up on your portal, or by email or?
@karliechris not a stupid question at all. There’s no email. Just an update posted to the portal. An acceptance letter is also mailed. Oh, and the portal has a “welcome rambler” (or something) message on the portal homepage, too.

D accepted yesterday with Presidential Scholarship.
D accepted yesterday too with Presidential Scholarship (25K yearly). She found out through the portal. No email. She applied through the priority link that she received in a mailing from LUC and received the acceptance in less than 2 weeks
Anyone else apply late September, no word yet?
We applied in September with their short ‘priority’ app and no word…a little frustrating:(
Applied late September with the short priority app and portal was updated with acceptance today. Applied from Seattle, WA.
I applied exactly a month ago, and I checked the portal today which showed a status update. I didn’t get any email telling me that their was a status update so make sure to check it if its been a month. I am so happy I checked because I got accepted along with a scholarship. Good luck for everybody just starting to apply to LUC or waiting for your results!
