I haven’t seen a thread for those of us who are trying to transfer to LMU for the Fall of 2017 via Early Admission. It would be nice if those of us who applied EA as transfers could touch base during this admissions process.
I submitted my application on January 31st, and received and email stating that we would be informed of our admission decisions by or on March 15th, I’m assuming on a rolling basis. Has anyone heard back yet? Or does anyone have any information pertaining to this round of admissions? Thanks!
I applied as well for transfer (early decision) to the film program. From what I have heard from last years Fall 2016 transfer applicants, a lot of them heard back around the end of February if everything was submitted on time. Personally i just applied to see what happens. I don’t think I will be able to afford it, but if I get in I will try to make it work. Best of luck to you.
I applied for Early Admission as well as an animation major with a 3.7 GPA. I’m honestly waiting until March to get it because thats what I expect it’ll come by. I’m not sure if I have a chance to get in or not, but I certainly hope so! Let me know when you get a huge envelope in your mail box!
I also applied EA for transfer. Hopefully everything goes according to plan, but I’m a little worried as their portal stated that one of my transcripts arrived on the 7th of Feb even though I requested it be sent rush two weeks prior.
I applied for History and I have 3.3 GPA with some solid recs. Here’s hoping!
So I noticed that they got rid of MyPaw. I know that was one of the ways to see if your application was being reviews and if you got accepted/deferred/denied. Has anyone received another email other than the engage.lmu one? When I click on the engage.lmu all I see is what Ive turned in so far for my application. I don’t see anything about my application being under review at all, and I also don’t know what the PIN number is for that they gave us in the email
All I’ve received is the engage link. It lists my LMU Essay, my HS transcript, and my college transcript, all “submitted” with little green check marks. Is yours like this?I have not received any other email.
This is supposedly where we are to find our application status, but I don’t see anything like that. Theres no “under review” or anything else, only "Application Submitted"and the date it was submitted. I’m assuming once decisions are made, they will post the status of our admission on the page?
@sloosy yes, that’s what mine looked like as well. I called in today and they got rid of MyPaw and if I used the PIN number in the link I should be able to find the application status but I don’t know where to use the PIN number. I personally think it was much better when they had MyPAW so that we could see what was going on with our applications
@Zozo10 I thought the pin was used to activate the engage.lmu It’s kind of frustrating to not have a proper way to check if you application is under review. I mean it’s already a stressful process waiting for acceptances and denials.
Does anyone know if LMU sends out their decisions via email, or through engage? Also, when they say they hope to alert EA applicants by March 15, do they typically stick to that deadline, or have they ever gone past it?
@filmfiend91 when they gave me the link and I clicked on it there was no place to put in the PIN number . Just email and password. And yeah I agree its tremendously frustrating. And @happychick1 I’m pretty sure they’ll send it to you by email. As for engage, since they didnt have the status of our application I’m pretty sure they won’t have it there. I could be wrong though
@happychick1 I applied to LMU as a freshman, and my acceptance notification came through the form of an email, as well as an update on MyPAW. Since I am now a transfer, I assume an email will be our main source of knowing whether or not we got in, since MyPAW is no longer a thing. I am not aware if they have gone past that deadline of March 15th, but it would be in bad taste for a college to promise decisions by a certain date, then not be able to follow through.
@Rekkles so am I. I just want to get it over with lol. When I was a senior in HS and I applied I definitely knew I wasn’t getting in. Now, since my grades are a lot better I actually have a chance so them leaving us in the dark is giving me anxiety lol.
I asked whether decisions will be given on a rolling basis this time around, like in batches prior to March 15th, or if the March 15th date was hard, and all decisions would be sent out on March 15th.
The man I spoke to said something along the lines of, “It’s looking as if it’ll be March 15th this time. Yes, that’s a hard March 15th.”
So looks like we have to sit tight for three weeks. March 15th is the day!
@sloosy Thanks so much for the info. That actually lessens my anxiety. I guess we’re all gonna meet back here at this forum on March 15th! (unless of course one of our decisions comes earlier).
I am anxious too!! I haven’t had any movement on my engage portal since everything was received. It took until the 8th of Feb to receive my final transcript but I applied on Dec. 29th! The waiting is the hardest part!
