they just emailed me saying there was an update on the portal super randomly, so it should come for you guys within the next two weeks is my guess
Do they usually do acceptances first and then move on to waitlist/denials? That’s how Pepperdine’s rolled out.
@gracemckd1 I believe so.
About 20 minutes ago I got an email telling me to check my update on the portal and it read "
Dear Karina,
The Committee on Admission has met to review your transfer application to Loyola Marymount University. Based on your record to date, we have determined that we will defer your application for further consideration until we have received your final grades from your current term, and will make a final decision on your application later this spring.
While you may be a competitive candidate for admission to the transfer class, we cannot be certain of the outcome of your application at this time. To assure that our continuing evaluation of your application includes all available information, please make arrangements for your school to send us your final grades for the current semester, as soon as these are available. It is NOT necessary to submit additional recommendations or personal statements at this time, but your application will not receive further review until your current semester grades are received.
Thanks again for your interest in LMU, and best wishes for success in all you undertake."
I think it is because my first year I had one D and few W’s until I decided to return back to college more seriously last year. My last 24 units were a 4.0 and I’m on track to get a 4.0 this semester so I’m hoping for the best. Seriously bummed out in the mean time.
@karinebean Damn, I’m sorry to hear that. Did they ever make you send in a copy of a Mid Term Report?
They never asked for one but I emailed them back asking if a mid-term report with my grades will suffice and allow them to make a decision. I mean I’d rather know 100% even if its good or bad ya know? My final grades won’t be ready until early June which just seems way too late for them to make a decision but I’m not sure?
@karinebean My heart sank as I read what they sent you. I’m so proud of you for going back to college and getting those 4.0’s. Keep up the hard work! I hope you get in. I hope they find a Mid-Term Report to be sufficient. It’s already more than half way through the semester. A final grade can definitely be determined by now.
Any fellow transfer students plan on going to preview day tomorrow (4/22)??
I JUST GOT ACCEPTED ABOUT 2 hours AGO!!!
@littlepetunia Congrats! What’s your major?
@SabPardo thank you! And my major is Sociology. Have you heard back from them yet?
@littlepetunia Unfortunately, I have not heard back yet. I even submitted my application a week early.
@SabPardo aw I’m so sorry to hear that. What’s your major ??
@littlepetunia I applied for Finance with Econ being my second-choice major. It seems like decisions are starting to roll, so I’m not too worried.
Are you a CC transfer?
@SabPardo Yes I am
@littlepetunia congrats!
@BuckyBarnes thank you!! Have you heard back yet?
@littlepetunia Not yet, but I hope I do hear good news soon. Still keeping my fingers crossed. I do receive LMU’s undergraduate admission emails. I take a deep breath each time. hahaha.
Hey does anyone know which is worse… a permanent “W” on your final transcripts or having a D-F in a class?
@littlepetunia my counselor at my cc said that an F is worse than a W. not sure where the D falls on that scale, but it’s probably still worse than a W. (just repeating what I’ve heard)
