Hello. I am an international student from Ukraine. I applied to the LMU for class 2025 and got waitlisted (biology major). For me, financial aid is important. I considered LMU as a school to attend because during the webinar with the LMU they said that it is possible to receive the full funding. If you know, tell me please, can I receive the financial aid even after being put on the waiting list?
Hello! Yes you can still receive funding of course! I did not mean to imply you wonāt get anything I meant to say you might have to advocate for yourself more as a waitlist student. Especially for need based financial aid they should be accommodating Iām not sure about full funding I wish I could provide information but Iām not currently fully funding so I donāt know. If you happen to get off the waitlist and donāt like your financial aid package but advice would be to appeal for more this is what I had to do and usually it will work out. For need based I know most students use the FAFSA as well but Iām not sure if this applies to international Iām sorry.
Thank you so much for your response! Should I text the admission counselor?
Only after youāre accepted. Until then just keep them updated on your new achievements and make it clear to them in an email that LMU is your top choice. Usually people will only send one letter of continued interest but if you send multiple short emails spaced out over the summer youāll have a better chance. Then once you get accepted you can start talking about funding with them.
The thread has been so quiet. Has anyone else heard anything? Our granddaughter did get admitted to UC Santa Cruz from their waitlist Friday. She is still waiting to hear from LMU.
Awww still no news. My son has moved on from LMU but it would have been nice to get closure. All good. Wishing everyone on the chat all the best!
Any update??
Thank you so much!!! I am on waitlist of Film Production, which is just like you and I have sent 2 email to the admission officer but no one replied me. I have question, how could you get your counselorās email and contact him?
