Deferred

Deferred

Does anyone know if they’re still doing the $2,000 EA award?

I applied EA, but still no reply. :frowning: Anyone else still waiting?

I got in for bio!!! 3.75 UW, 4.1 W, 1330 SAT, 28 ACT, strong EC’s, great essay - can’t believe I’m a baby lion! So excited!!

My S came home from Alpine practice last night with the stomach flu and went right to bed, so we had to wait until he finally woke up at 9:30 this morning to find out. So grateful to say he was accepted to the School of Film, focusing on the Animation program. 3.35 UW, 30 ACT, solid ECs. His portfolio is pretty amazing, which is what I think got him in.

HOORAY!!! ACCEPTED!!! For those of you who were deferred, our older daughter was deferred at her dream school and two others! She wrote a letter (there are lots of formats available here and other places) that made 3 points 1 - I was disappointed, as this is my dream school because… 2 - I will send my updated transcripts in the winter, but in the interim here is an additional recommendation (did a community recommendation) 3 - I am happy to provide additional information if it would be helpful. You could also note any new plans or accomplishments, and/or retake testing. She called each school and told them she was sending them a continued interest letter, and requested information about the chances of acceptance. One school basically said that it was unlikely, and she ultimately didn’t send the letter as it was one that she wasn’t as interested in. Another was very helpful and encouraging, and the third was boiler plate “We never know… depends on RA pool… blah blah blah.”

My d is in for communications. Anyone get anything on financial aid yet?

Just got accepted to the college of business administration to study entrepreneurship! I’m waiting on scholarship information now - fingers crossed!

On another thread someone said that LMU’s site said financial aid info will come in February. Congrats to all!

Hi @njsmommy ,
I am a current high school junior, really interested in LMU. If you don’t mind me asking, what kind of work did your son put in his portfolio? (such as: figure drawings, paintings, animation samples, stop motion) I want to be able to add to my portfolio what they are looking for. Thanks! Also congrats to your son!

@njsmommy thanks! Seems like a long time to wait . . . .

@shoot4moon Well, don’t keep us in suspense—what happened?!? :slight_smile:

No kidding! Did those letters help your DD get into her dream school?!

I got accepted! As biochem major

GPA 3.7W, ACT 30, lots of extracurriculars… super excited

Hi @ohmywhat. That’s great you are on this site as a junior! He sent around 15 pieces, I believe. He included some animation clips he created last summer when he took the Gnomon School’s summer course for high school students on 3D animation, plus some fantasy pieces he drew (so they told a story within a drawing), as well as some still life pieces, a self-portrait, etc. No paintings. He included both pencil sketches as well as digital pieces he drew. i think he said it was important to make sure some of your pieces include story telling aspects (so if you’ve drawn comic strips, cartoons, etc., those pieces work well). Let me know if you would like him to connect with you for more detail :slight_smile:
