<p>Well I hope this is the case! I’ve been super stressed out since I saw the deferral status because my top choice is USC and I figured if I couldn’t even secure acceptance at LMU then USC is pretty much out of the question… I really don’t know how to feel right now, I’d like to think they would reject me for overqualification but then again, I feel like the C’s in math might have screwed me over so I don’t want to get cocky about anything 
I guess we’ll just wait and see and hopefully they’ll reconsider by March or else hopefully I can pull off a miracle with USC</p>
<p>Have any of you deferred students gotten an email for financial aid? or the myAID thing? Because I just got this email saying, “Congratulations! You now have access to the MyAid Financial Planner for LMU!” But I’m like whaaaaat why should I apply for fin aid for LMU if I don’t even know if I’m accepted yet…</p>
<p>HMMM, probably just my anxiety rising haha</p>
<p>Nope I have not but then again I have not even gotten my official deferral so nevermind me for right now lol :)</p>
<p>MA, I don’t think you’d be deferred because they don’t think you’d accept. My S was accepted a couple weeks ago and his stats were 3.85 UW/4.2W, 2170 SAT. He was also told under normal circumstances LMU would be a safety for him, but that every year the applicant pool gets stronger and stronger, so it’s never a sure thing. Deferred simply moves you to be reconsidered with the regular admission applicants, so you’re still being considered.</p>
<p>LucyB: Also got the myAid email update, as well as the 7th semester transcript request, and application now listed as incomplete.</p>
<p>So assuming deferred, even though haven’t received an email with those words. Very stressed as LMU is top choice. GPA 3.9 1880 SAT OOS(east coast)</p>
<p>Sorry to everyone else in the same boat, trying to remain positive here.</p>
<p>They wanna see my 7th sem. grades too so I got deferred… Surprisingly
I say this only because LMU was supposed to be an easy target for me. I can relate with all these posts. Does anyone know the percent or average of people that get accepted after being deferred from early action?</p>
<p>I’m getting anxious as well. My application is still ‘currently under review’ and has been as such for at least the past two weeks.</p>
<p>Hi all- my application is listed as “Currently Under Review” as well. Are we assuming that 7th semester grades means your deferred or does it explicitly say that you are deferred somewhere? Because with this amount of deferred applicants you think it may be a computer gliche/mistake.</p>
<p>I wish it was some sort of glitch. I think I’m going to call them tomorrow and ask about my status because I still haven’t gotten an official email and my status on myPAW is “application incomplete” not “deferred” if thats what its supposed to say…</p>
<p>man I was just hoping to have some sort of backup ready before my top choices came rolling in next year. this really sucks and even more so not knowing why I was rejected because I’m seeing so many people with lower stats get accepted already!!</p>
<p>You weren’t rejected. You just wrote your application is “incomplete” and that’s what’s wrong. If you can’t tell from mypaw what is missing, definitely call them and find out so you can complete your application. You probably will be accepted, but they can’t accept you if your application file is incomplete.</p>
<p>Just received a reply in answer to email question about “application incomplete” status. Admissions informed that a letter about deferred status would be arriving soon and would explain the next steps to take. myPAW status now reads incomplete because have been deferred and they are awaiting the updates of 7th semester information. Kind of a confusing notification process.</p>
<p>Hi
I have 7th Semester Grades in my requirements box but my status is still currently under review. If they want my Fall marks does that mean I am definitely deferred?</p>
<p>Unfortunately I would think so mere24… that’s what happened to everyone else who got deferred.</p>
<p>And to everyone here, getting deferred isn’t the end of the world! You still have a chance! :)</p>
<p>My app is still under review -_-</p>
<p>So I called the LMU admission office today, because I too have to submit the 7th semester transcripts. </p>
<p>From what the woman told me, we are only deferred until they receive those scores, not until the spring decision deadline. So the sooner they are sent in, the sooner you can have your decision. </p>
<p>Good luck to everyone else!</p>
<p>I called LMU yesterday and I got my deferral letter today. lol I asked the lady who answered if I could know why I was deferred and she was just like “…we just need more information” and refused to tell me anything else. A lot of people I’m talking to think I may have been deferred to “overqualification” but I still feel too cocky accepting that as a reason so I’m going to blame it on my grades and wait until next year for my results I hear back from two other more difficult schools next week, so if I manage to get in there hopefully it will be a good sign!!</p>
<p>my LMU site still says currently under review but the 7th semester mark under requirements has been there for about 10 days… did anyone elses status take a long time to change?</p>
<p>Got my defferal letter today…it looks like based on the letter that they had too many applicants under Early Action and felt uncomfortable filling up over half their applicant pool with one deadline because they are unsure of the entire applicant pool, so they are just deferring us because they don’t want to admit too many people and then get more qualified people in Regular Decision and regret admitting others less-qualified under Early Action. At least, that is what it seems like from the letter.</p>
<p>yeah i got deferred too i was pretty surprised, not gonna lie.
so if you’re deferred, does that put you out of the running for a merit scholarship?</p>
<p>“Merry Christmas! You’ve been deferred”. Love, LMU Admissions.</p>
<p>My daughter was deferred yesterday, too. I have to say that the letter was less than kind. Not, “We received an unexpectedly high amount of EA applicants, and we are glad you applied, but we feel we can better balance the incoming class by considering the applicant pool as a whole–we hope you continue to be interested in our school,” or something like that. Instead, the letter says, “You really want to go to the prom with me? Let me think about it until May and see if someone better asks me.” It literally states, we don’t want to accept you now and regret it later when better candidates apply. LMU was her top choice after visiting last summer, and her stats seemed totally in line with her high school’s acceptance history with LMU–it wasn’t a reach, wasn’t a safety, seemed just right. I feel terrible because I urged her to apply Early Action. She worries a lot, and I was hoping this would take the pressure off her. Instead I feel like I set her up, right before Christmas and finals. The good thing to come out of this is that she still has time to finish her applications to other schools. I’m not telling her, but to me, LMU moved to the bottom of the list.</p>
