What are people’s thoughts on lmu compared to ucla and USC
Haha well, USC is my first choice, so that should give you some indication about my preferences. 
I didn’t apply to UCLA…I didn’t care for it when I visited.
I applied to LMU, USC and UCLA. Personally, I like and dislike different things about them and don’t know where I would chose yet. USC and UCLA are more competitive, but I like LMU’s location, small classes and general vibe on campus.
Kinda really depends on what you’re looking for
Mostly I like USC’s need-based financial aid. LMU just doesn’t have the same kind of funding.
Do people in LA look down on LMU compared to UCLA and USC? I’m from Boston so I don’t know the comparisons.
I know USC and UCLA are more competitive, but they also have better funding for students, so they get a bigger applicant pool. Plus, LMU is a catholic school, which is a deterrent for some people.
From what I know of the schools, you’ll get an excellent education at any of them.
I got a financial aid email this morning for LMU but no change in application status, what does this mean? Is this a bad sign…
Edited:
I can open / get into MyPAW now, even though I couldn’t earlier today.
I can open MyAid, but I don’t have access to see anything.
Regarding USC, UCLA & LMU, all I can tell you is that my daughter had a really very hard time giving up on LMU (where she got a full tuition scholarship) last year. She loved the school after staying overnight…but finally she had to go a different way.
I got admitted today!!! (actually on the 4th but I don’t check my email that often)
ACT:30
Unweighted GPA: 4.0, Weighted: 4.5
Major: Biology
@uclaparent19 If you don’t mind me asking what were the reasons your D chose UCLA over LMU? Are you in CA for in-state public tuition?
@behappy579 congrats!
yes, @uclaparent9, I would love to hear your thought on those schools as well, as my D is looking at the same ones. Also what was her intended major?
Help!! I’m unable to log into my MyPaw account and am not exactly sure as to what to do. It continues to say “This user cannot be found,” and it’s making me anxious.
@mom2collegekids Once my daughter recieved the Regents Scholarship from UCLA, she decided to enroll in UCLA.
(and yes we live in CA for in-state tuition)
@catzxo I consider USC and UCLA to be more resourceful than LMU for kids who inspire to go to the medical school in future (my daughter major is Biology). After finishing her first quarter in UCLA, my daughter feels it is very cut-throat competitive among pre-meds. USC perhaps is not as much (my own perception from years ago when I attended USC).
i submitted my application through commonapp before the deadline but last week when i logged into mypaw to check my status i started a new application. will this effect my prior application? im so scared
@JennnyD I doubt it. They will still have your Common App and all the supplemental materials on file and they are already reviewing everything or possibly even finished reviewing your file. I wouldn’t worry.
If you’re still anxious, you could always email the admissions office. I’ve gotten a response within 24 hours every time I have emailed them and they are very helpful.
tl;dr > I’m sure you’re fine 
When did all of you apply? Put your application date when you put on your acceptance we we know. Thanks!
I applied January 15rh, which was the deadline.
