<p>We don’t see teacher recs but I’m assuming they are good. His essays were strong. More importantly, he comes across as the kind of kid who is going to be involved on campus and give back to the university. </p>

<p>I want to thank LMU for all they did for us. Because my son’s schedule is so tight, the only time we could visit LMU was in the fall a week before the tours officially started. LMU bent over backyards to get a theater student to give my son a personal tour of the campus and the facilities. My son was really impressed and it affected his decision to apply. Go Lions!</p>

<p>@cbrand does your sons MyPaw say “admitted?” Or does it still say his application is under review?</p>

63

<p>Do you get the drop down options on your MyPAW as well? @cbrand</p>

64

<p>Totally embarrassed to say that my son never got or somehow missed info about logging into a MyPAW account. I told him at the end of last week that there was such a thing and he emailed admissions, but they have not gotten back to him. We are going off the hard copy admissions letter he received in the mail today.</p>

<p>Sorry we can’t be more helpful. I know how hard it is to wait.</p>

65

<p>They just changed my admissions status to Admitted! No word on scholarships yet though.</p>

<p>Congrats to everyone else who’s been admitted so far, and good luck/best wishes for everyone still waiting!</p>

66

<p>I was accepted with a 3.83 UW gpa and 1810 sat with lots of extra curriculars into the business school. Did anyone find out about merit yet?</p>

67

<p>I still haven’t heard back and myPaw is still the same, it says my application is currently under review. Two of my friends already have been accepted and I think i applied before them. Does this mean i didn’t get in ?</p>

68

<p>@Gomrmg I just called to check the status of my application and they legit just finalized mine today and are sending it out today. I am not sure if I got accepted, but don’t be discouraged! They are just using all the time they were allotted to make the decisions! Best of luck</p>

69

<p>I applied to Animation. My myPAW changed like four days ago but my status still says “Under Review.” I’m kind of panicking right now. Does anyone know if acceptance letters come through normal mail or through FedEx? I’ve been checking normal mail for two weeks and I’m starting to worry…</p>

70

<p>They come through normal mail in a large thin envelope with a squarish lump… And have an lmu seal… Goodluck</p>

71

<p>Is the MyPAW supposed to change a few days before getting admitted?</p>

72

<p>Does anyone know if your MyPaw changes before or after you get your acceptance letter in the mail? They sent my letter out today but my MyPaw still hasn’t changed?</p>

73

<p>They also are sending mine out today. MyPAW updates 3 days after they’re sent out. So if you get mail between thursday or friday, you’ll hear from that first.</p>

74

<p>@stacych8 do you know that for sure?</p>

75

<p>@stacych8 when did you apply?</p>

76

<p>@Tanthony Yes, I’ve been told by many representatives that the MyPAW status updates 3 days after they’re sent out. @Caligirl My application got finalized (they got everything in) around mid November (it took awhile because my counselor wasn’t sending my documents in), which is probably why mine was one of the last.</p>

77

<p>@stacy ok thanks. And I don’t think the date your application was finalized matters. Mine was finalized mid-October</p>

78

<p>anyone from the east coast receive a letter/ have an updated “admitted” myPaw? just wondering. I see a lot of West Coast applicants have received notice but just checking on the east coast ones.</p>

79

<p>East coast here. My letter was sent today</p>

<p>@tanthony2012 … if you dont mind me asking, were you admitted? if so, do you have the two extra drop down menus on your myPaw?</p>
