Hi! I applied Early Action for the film department and have still not heard anything. Do you all know if when they were reviewing your application it said “under review” or something in the portal? Mine just says “received.”
@Syreni My application is still under review as well, and just says Application Submitted.
Maybe call Admissions before they close to check up the status of your application.
I applied for Production, was rejected, and they told me they’d consider me for Screenwriting.
Turns out they didn’t let me know I needed to fill out a change of major form, so my application is still under review.
The wait time for this school to get back to me is ridiculous.
@Bennyboy97 I called for the maybe sixth time last week haha. I pressed them for an answer and they said that my application as early action didn’t matter because I was a transfer student. I appreciated the honesty of that. He assured me I would have an answer by the end of the month. There is another university I really like that has been very gracious to still consider me for the fall even though I missed the commitment deadline. I am happy to go there if LMU doesn’t work out.
I really hope you get in and they get back to you really really soon!!
@karinebean how did you find out you were accepted? via email or portal?
@ashyashy I got an email that said there was an update via portal so I checked and it was there! It took a while for all my other stuff to process like housing, registration and all that. So I’m not sure if I will get housing to be honest 
Hi everybody, I think I probably said this before but I’m not sure lol But I think it would be a really good, yet fun idea for us in someway to make a GroupMe group chat so that all of us and our fellow Lion peers could get to know eachother as we’ll be attending to school together in the Fall and we’d at least walk in knowing at least someone. What do you guys think?
@littlepetunia I think that’s a great idea! It’s always good to know people. My Instagram is karinanicolesantos if anyone wants to chat/follow each other lol.
Also, has anyone found some cheapish off-campus housing? I’m struggling to find roommates.
Hey guys, I’ve been accepted for a while and I’ve been holding off on paying the deposit because I had to send spring grades to USC and now I’m just waiting on their decision any day. I was wondering if anyone here knew if you’re able to pay the deposit on the deadline day or if the last day to pay is the day before the deadline. It looks like I’m going to be paying it this weekend, but I’d hate to pay it a day too early only to find out I’ve been accepted to USC the next day. It’s unlikely I’ll get into USC considering how competitive it is, but still.
IS anyone else waiting to hear back? tf is taking so long guess im probably rejected???
Hi guys! I did not apply to LMU, but my best friend did. She has still not heard back yet (4.0 GPA transferring from a CC). Is there anyone else who has not received a decision yet either? When do decisions end?
i still havent heard back
i got an acceptance to USD for spring but would still love to consider LMU
For those accepted what kind of financial aid were you offered? LA is so expensive to live in its gonna be tough paying for school and a place to live ughhhh
Do you know when the decision deadline is? For the schools I applied to it was always like July 15 was the last day. I don’t know about LMU though
@ashyashy I think you would find this helpful: https://bus.lmu.edu/controller/osfs/studentaccounts/deadlinesrefundsresources/importantdatesdeadlines/
According to the link for Fall 2018:
Fall payment plans open July 02, 2018
Last day to set up a 5 month payment plan July 19, 2018
Payment due July 20, 2018
etc.
Hope this helps.
Congrats on USD, by the way! I hope we get some good news from LMU soon.
random but does anyone know if you can defer to start in the spring?
Went ahead and did my commitment. At this point I doubt I’m getting into USC but it’s fine. I still really like LMU. Does anyone know how this payment to the school works? @BuckyBarnes Says there is a payment due July 20th which is also what my info says, but I’m not sure how they’re expecting that if the payment schedule for aid isn’t until August 20th. I’m still waiting for my spring semester to transfer completely so I can finally do advisement but does anyone know how that works? Do you just get a negative number in your student account until August 20th when funds come through? Seems crazy families or independents would have to come up with 48k just for tuition because the payment was due a month before disbursement.
@ashyashy I was offered a fairly generous financial aid package, but my EFC is rather low. Good luck to everyone still waiting!
@AndyWarski I don’t have much knowledge on how LMU operates in regards to having a negative number on your student account, but I am sure that if you were to explain to them the scenario they would understand.They will most likely understand and give you a couple weeks while fall semester is in session in order for them to receive some sort of payment. Best thing to do for now would be to give them a call. Hope you enjoy LMU!
I applied in February as a business major and I still haven’t heard back yet. It’s crazy how long it’s taken, and when I’ve called LMU, they say they haven’t made a decision and keep pushing the dates back. Barely gives us enough time to make a decision or plan anything. Also, choosing classes will be hell @ LMU. I sent in my midterm grades in March.
is anyone still waiting to hear back from LMU?
