Ridiculously small amount of merit for my D from LMU - she won’t be going there, that’s for sure!
My daughter also will not be attending. The money was better at all 3 of the other schools where she was accepted.
Checked my D’s portal…no update.
Rcvd arrupe scholarship $12.5k/yr + $2k early action award. 4.18w 3.93 uw 1320 SAT. LMU direct costs are $65,282. COA is $71,040. our EFC is $42k. Too rich for our blood-especially as a back up school. Next :)>-
D received Arrupe Scholarship $37k/year + $2k early action award + $2k work study. Pleasantly surprised by the amount. 4.25 W/3.87 UW. 33 ACT. Lots of ECs and leadership.
@Ryboy1 NOW thats an offer! Congrats! should have mentioned my d has really really great ECs and a lot of leadership.
Anyone got anything in their portal?
Just got my fin aid in mail. 26.5k Achievement Award + 2k Early Action Award. Very pleased since got 6k at santa clara and 30k at fordham. Still waiting on 15 schools, but of my safeties, LMU is probably my top choice rn.
I’m in Ohio and received my aid today. I got $17,500 Arrupe Scholarship, plus the $2,000 Early Action Award. I wasn’t give ANY financial aid outside of $7,500 in loans. My COE is attendance is $51,000 even though my EFC is only $25,000. I’m going to try and appeal because I’m VERY disappointed.
East coast and just received 43k Arrupe, 2k Early Action, and 3k work study!!! This is so crazy!! 3.63 UW/4.41W 31 ACT
@elspeiir is that on your portal too or just got a mail? What about an email?
Mail!
Congrats to those who received their scholarships! Interestingly, we’ve received mail from LMU yesterday and today but neither are aid awards. Yesterday was a “congratulations” type of post card and today was a housing postcard. My son was accepted EA. Does this mean we didn’t get any award? Anxiously waiting…
The congrats card came earlier than the financial aid packet.
Will there be any merit aid available for EA applicants who were deferred to regular decision? My D just got accepted to Film Prod BFA at Chapman with 18K Dean’s scholarship per year. No clue as to financial aid yet.
Did your D apply regular decision to Chapman?? I thought they would start sending out responses only mid-March!
@Lifeis14567 My D applied EA to both Chapman and LMU. Chapman EA Film production acceptances were just released. Acceptances for other EA majors at Dodge/Chapman were announced in Dec.
RD will be announced in March.
D was deferred from LMU. All of her films were 5 minutes, too long for LMU, so she sent just a scene she had shot for a class assignment (a film noir remake of Blood Simple with a female private detective). It didn’t really represent the type of films she wants to make. For Chapman, she made a specific film for their prompt.
She could still get in to LMU. Scholarships and financial aid will ultimately play a big part in her decision.
Thanks for answering! I also got deferred from LMU for screenwriting. It’s my top-choice so fingers crossed. Congrats to your daughter on Chapman and I hope everything works out with LMU!
Anyone go to a Jesuit or Marymount school and got the $12,500 Jesuit/MM high school scholarship? I already got Arrupe scholarship but I wonder if they might send more after they go through all their regular decision applicants from my HS.
In case there are other Hawaii folks reading, my son received his aid packet in the mail today.
