@milklore Oh no ! Beginning of May ? It’s gonna be the same for us, they just checked all the documents for FA on the portal. Last doc was sent on Friday. Hard hard hard !!!
yo! i was accepted! didn’t have to wait after all!
@milklore CONGRATULATIONS ! My Son’s portal is changing. There isn’t the long list of credentials, just a few, and we do not have access to the FA list neither. So we hope that he will know something today. I’ll keep you posted ! No knews from scholarship ?
@catlalib not yet sadly! and good luck with your son!
Still waiting ! My S called today and they said that they reviewed his files and that he should hear back from them in the next few business days. So perhaps next week ?
just heard some east coast transfer applicants heard back- anyone??? dying over here on the west coast lol
I just got in today! No word on financial aid though.
My Son just got in !!! We are soooo happy. But this is just half of the good news. We are waiting for FA info. Crossing our fingers. Good luck to everybody.
congrats to all who’ve been admitted!! still waiting (impatiently) over here. any idea when we’ll hear about financial aid?
@cascupcake2 I think that Fin Aid arrives the week after the notification. So for those who have been accepted today, we should know next week. It is a decisive point to us. So we will celebrate only after hearing back from that.
Not gonna lie, I’m pretty frustrated. My friend (who applied as a transfer and only completed her app 5 days ago) heard back and got in today. My application was submitted in November and completed in January. I was told that as a “priority applicant”, I’d hear back by mid-April. What gives?
@cascupcake2 Have you called them? That seems pretty concerning.
Do you know when we could receive the financial aid package after admittance ? Our information were completed April 7th. I hope before May 1st.
My mom called last week because I still hadn’t heard back. They told her that they had way more transfer applications than they anticipated but all decisions should be out by Wednesday and all financial aid by Friday. Cutting it pretty close to May 1.
Thanks @cascupcake2. I hope we will be soon a bunch of happy fellows !!! It’s funny that you want to leave LMU and California. Weather much better overthere !
Hahah what can I say, I’m an east coast girl through and through. Looking forward to being back in New England. It’s been a hard year for me at LMU (even with the beautiful weather).
@cascupcake2 Oh, sorry to hear that, but, in the meantime, I remember asking my daughter to not apply in the west coast, even if acting school are renowned overthere. I prefered to have her not far from our family telling her it was hard the first years, and that she would miss us. I did well because now she is totally happy at Emerson. But in 2 years, I’d like to move to California, to certainly help my artist children, but mostly to have a different experience. I’ve been leaving near Boston for two decades and I’d like to travel along the West coast. So I am taking my children’s ambitions as an excuse to move overthere. But I am worried about the Californians ! ha ha ! Well, I travelled twice in SF and LA, I crossed severall National Parks on the west coast, and I miss that a lot. It’s true that Boston is a perfect City, not far from France where the rest of my family leaves, and with nice changes of seasons. Going far on the west coast will mean 12 hours of flight to go back to France to visit our family, loosing the snowdays … ha ha. Oh well.
anyone have any idea when we’ll get our finaid packets? ugh
@milklore : I thought we would receive the info one week after being accepted. If you have no news it means I am wrong. Cascupcake2 said that we should know by Friday. But, on Emerson website we can read this:Transfer students who file their FAFSA and CSS/Financial Aid Profile by April 4, 2017* will be able to view their tentative financial aid award in the Application Portal in May 2017.
*Those applicants admitted after April 4, 2017 will be granted an additional two weeks to submit all financial aid applications. The extension starts at date of acceptance.
So now, I don’t know what to think. Problem is the deadline for some other schools. My S wrote to a counselor about it and he was answered that if FA Profile was file by April 4, he should hear back in the next few business days. Well, May 1st is around the corner… And the deadline for Emerson is June 1st, so no rush for them.
This is so frustrating! Still haven’t even received an admission decision. The only other school I’m considering is Ithaca, whose deadline is May 1st. Really don’t know what to do at this point.
