LMU EA Transfers for Fall of 2017

I’m sorry to hear you were denied. That sucks. Congrats on SD though. Still nothing here.

@filmfiend91 I’m sorry to hear that :frowning: I hope you have a good time at SDSU :3

Oh yeah no worries! It wasn’t even my first choice so I’m totally okay with it! I hope you guys get in!

I havent heard anything back yet either…

I sent an email asking when we could expect to hear back, ugh I just want to know already

@filmfiend91 - Congrats on SDSU!

A pattern I’ve noticed is that only some Film EA transfers got their decisions as of yesterday? I also checked out reddit.com/r/LMU and it’s the same thing over there.

@illuxa what do you mean by ****/r/LMU? Is that another thread for EA LMU transfers?

@illuxa forget it, I think I located what you were referring to. :slight_smile:

@helloitsmeeee Would you be welling to tell us what they reply?? I just want the worrying to stop :((

So I emailed them and asked what was going on and when I could hear from them again for my decision. I got an email back saying this:
“I took a look at your application to see if I could update you - it looks like your application was reviewed by 2 separate people on the admissions committee, and then referred to the Dean of the School of Film and Television to make the final decision. Don’t worry, this is normal procedure (every app is reviewed by more than one person) and sometimes they need a third opinion to make the final call. I would guess that you should be hearing an admissions decision within the next week or two!”

I’m not sure if this is the case for everyone but I guess this is what’s going on for me at the moment. I’m extremely nervous!

After being slightly fed-up (and extremely anxious), I decided to call the Office of Admissions. I simply wanted to know the date which I could expect my decision to be sent out. My call was then transferred to someone in charge of the Transfer Department. I asked when I could expect my decision to be sent, and she replied, “Either this afternoon today, or sometime tomorrow.”

I was extremely satisfied with this answer. But then she asks, “Would you like to know your decision now?” I was completely and utterly caught of guard, as I wasn’t expecting to learn my status over this phone call.

I was officially accepted into LMU’s School of Film and Television, under Screenwriting!!

If you guy’s have any questions please let me know.

I gave them my reference # and they said my app was still under review, and to expect a decision by the end of this week. I would email them with your number and see what they say!

I also called and they said I’m under review. Ugh. I’m truly hoping that’s not code for not accepted. He also said I should get an email shortly? Here’s praying

@Woodst0ck I don’t think thats code for you not being accepted. I think maybe your application is like mine and maybe more than one person isn’t done reviewing it yet. I’m hoping for the both of us!

@sloosy Oh my gosh! Congratulations! That’s what I was applying for too! So proud of you! If I may ask, and if you look back on this, what was your GPA?? I haven’t gotten anything yet and I’m worrying :confused:

@happychick1 Oh that’s weird! Originally that was a link to Reddit but I guess the mods removed it?

MODERATOR’S NOTE:

It was not me, but yes, links to non-authoritative sites like reddit, twitter, FB, etc. are not allowed.

@Rekkles I had a 4.0 GPA. I would be transferring into LMU as a sophomore

Congratulations to all who have been accepted so far! Does anyone know how the transfer credit evaluation process works? Will they include that information in their acceptance letter? Thank you for any info you may have.

No from Pepperdine today. Called LMU, decision still pending. Sigh.
