LMU Fall 2016 Transfer

I haven’t heard back.

They didn’t even reply me on fb or email for 4 days!!

6 days*

I emailed them like 2 months ago a super long email and never got any response

hey guys my application says Incomplete - See requirements, Do you guys know what it means?

@49TNE49 look at “view application detail” to try and see what you’re missing under supplemental items. I would also recommend calling the admissions office to see what you’re missing. They made a mistake on my application about a week ago saying I was missing my college transcripts but it turned out to be a glitch and they changed it right away.

so is it likely that if we haven’t gotten a decision it means they glitched and thought the app was incomplete (which I saw happen to a ridiculous amount of people) or it means that they want to see your spring semester grades? I just really think its unlikely that they haven’t reviewed my application considering I turned it in on february 1!!!

I still havent heard back… is that normal ?

I have no idea what’s going on, I haven’t heard back as well. I did call yesterday and someone told me the director of transfer admissions would call me. Haven’t got that call either. I’m starting to expect the worst…

I haven’t heard back and my application is complete and I have no messages for spring grade requests. :-L

Still no luck with me either. Not sure what it means but I guess we just have to continue to wait, even though it’s now 11 days past…

@sbccstudent19 me too

This is ridiculous… I messaged them on facebook and the facebook message says they have read on friday 1pm but they didnt even reply me at all. I have sent them multiple emails…no reply either…

Just called and something different happened this time. I was transferred to Vanessa Miranda, the co director of undergrad admissions. She told me that I got in and that I should be receiving an email soon. :slight_smile: good luck to everyone waiting!

@vandiaiba congrats! what are your stats and major?

Admitted today

(congratulations, @sbccstudent19)

I haven’t received a call yet from the transfer service person. Just called admissions and got the same “under review” response. If you check previous threads, people have been similarly exasperated. This begs the question: why do some students on college confidential receive acceptances and correspondence in a timely manner while others have to wait and constantly contact LMU?

I told the lady today that I was expecting a call from the director and did not get it. Her response was that she’d forward another request for me. I asked her if I can contact her directly, and she tells me that she’s not allowed to give me her contact information. Why? That’s a bit weird…

I have called LMU around 4 times, each a week spaced apart. I don’t believe I am hounding them and speak in a friendly, concise, and polite manner.

This is a stressful time for colleges. I understand that. But it is also obviously stressful for us. I’m not angry about a delay in decisions because there are lots of factors involved for the school. However, when we are given a decision deadline, I do think it is considerate to provide correspondence that is not vague and deflective… I understand even more if it is a larger school with many applicants, but this is not the case.

It really doesn’t make sense to me because they obviously have significantly more freshman applicants than transfer applicants. Most people want to transfer to UC’s so they can TAG and because it’s easier, possibly a better education (depending on the school) and it’s A LOT cheaper. I looked on their website and it said that they accept 500 transfer applicants each year. So for the last month and a half(+), how is it possible that they haven’t found 500 people to accept already? They received like 20,000 applicants for freshman and were able to complete them on time. So why not us. Frankly, to me it is just disrespectful and rude, especially the way that they have been handling it. Like I was promised my decision by an admissions officer or someone else at so many different times, ranging from March to last Friday. Like come on, don’t just lie to me to get me to shut up when you’re the one that hasn’t done your job. They’re messing up my plans and my ability to make plans. This admissions process has been hell and has really greatly affected me. I’ve been stressing out for months, checking my portal every day and freaking out and when I first started checking my portal every day, I never could’ve imagined that I would survive the wait if I had known it would be this long. LMU was my top choice but I have so much anger towards them right now I don’t even know if I would go. I know that sounds stupid but I have spent MONTHS waiting, being EXTREMELY stressed and anxious, sometimes crying over the fact that it hasn’t come. So why would I go to a school that causes me all of this and doesn’t even have the decency to give me an honest answer when I ask when I could expect to receive a decision?
