<p>I was just wondering if LMU has a waiting list for regular admissions, i mean i havent heard back from them but i was wondering, if they dont accept me at first is there a waiting list I will be put on or am I automatically rejected.</p>
<p>Also does anyone know the percentage of accepted students who actually decide to attend the school?</p>
<p>I got waitlisted, and most colleges do have waiting lists.</p>
<p>I got waitlisted too…hope the other people applied as safety…lol</p>
<p>i got waitlisted</p>
<p>Same here. I just received my waitlisted letter today.</p>
<p>It said that they had 10,200 applicants for 1,250 spaces. I don’t know how many of us were waitlisted, but from what’s starting to appear here, there must be a lot of us.</p>
<p>I got my waitlist letter yesterday (4/2) for LMU… would love to know how many of us there are.
Any of you going to send your written notification you still want to be admitted?</p>
<p>I’m reading all these things about waitlists saying that if you don’t tell them that you absolutely, positively will attend their school if offered a space then you will not even be considered.</p>
<p>according to college *******, the waitlist stats for LMU are as follows:</p>
<p>Applicants Placed on waitlist:867
Applicants Accepted from waitlist: 278
so around a 32% acceptance rate off of the waitlist and usually, around 190 of those accepted 278 enroll at LMU so I would recommend telling the University that you are still committed to going there above all else.</p>
<p>I found an interesting interview of Matthew Fissinger, Director of Admissions for LMU, on the subject of being waitlisted:</p>

<p>I’m planning to send a letter today letting them know that I’m still interested.</p>
<p>THANKS, david7334… both insightful and relevant that you came across an interview on the subject specfically from LMU’s DoA, since so many of us find ourselves in the position of having to go “the next round”…</p>
<p>Should I even bother writing back?</p>
<p>Ur call, speakbraille - doesn’t hurt unless u r “over it” at this point. U can always pass on an acceptance if they admit u later off the list. Only thing about staying on is that u r still in limbo until u hear 1 way or the other as 2 how the waitlist pans out. So it’s like u give ur deposit 2 ur #1 of those u have been accepted 2, but u still have “one foot out the door”!</p>
<p>Okay so what I exactly do I write back?
“I still would like to be considered for admission?”
something along those lines?</p>
<p>YES! If you get waitlisted (hopefully you’ll just get accepted and that will be great!), you’ll get the waitlist letter and then you’ll get the “tone” of what you need to say (or how you want to state it), but basically what you’ve said is what they need to know.<br>
If someone who is waitlisted that does NOT want to still hang in there, they would like for those people to also send them something in writing stating as such so they can remove them right away. Also, the letter was very clear that unless they receive in writing that someone wants to stay on the list, they will consider that person no longer interested and remove their name from the waitlist pool. So, I guess sending them a letter even if you aren’t interested is a courtesy so they can know sooner than later as that only helps those of us on the list to know where we stand earlier than later.</p>
<p>If I do get in, isn’t the the housing and financial situation won’t be as great as for those who got accepted EA/RD?</p>
<p>by the way, can you send an email? or mail a letter?</p>
<p>hey guys I have applied as a transfer and I got a message from LMU that they didn’t have my Chapman University transcripts the first time so I sent them again… but MYPAW says they still don’t have them… I called them today and they said please don’t send any more we are going through mail… should I be concerned?</p>
<p>speakbraille, well that’s what I’ve been reading, but who knows! Never been through this before! I did get an email from LMU’s financial aid office this morning regarding an unrelated issue and asked how it works if you get admitted off the waitlist - will there still be financial aid awards and the response was that the offered financial aid would be able to be accepted at that time, which really didn’t answer my question… if the only option is for parent loans, for example, then that isn’t going to cut it! Other schools have offered me generous amounts of grant money as well as opps for low interest student loans.</p>
<p>Chapmanpanther, would you mind sharing why you’re transferring from Chapman to LMU? My daughter is considering both schools. We’d love additional perspective. TIA.</p>
<p>Yes, I’d be interested in knowing that, too! It seems like those two schools “compete” for the same kids.</p>
