LMU|LA 2015 Applicants

<p>ya those of you who have gotten in, can we hear some stats to get an idea?!</p>

<p>I haven’t heard back yet, either! I submitted my app on the 14th of January and one my friends submitted hers on the 18th, and she already knows that she got accepted. I wonder how they look at the applications?</p>

<p>Just got my acceptance on Monday. =D</p>

<p>I applied to the Animation major in the School of Film and Television EA, then was deferred and now accepted.</p>

<p>As for stats . . .
GPA: 3.4 weighted
ACT: 29
APs: 1
Honors: 0
And then a bunch of ECs and a portfolio.</p>

<p>Hopefully that all brings a bit of hope to some people :P</p>

<p>+Congrats to everyone else who’s gotten in!</p>

<p>Thanks for posting your stats, Duhlemma! </p>

<p>I haven’t heard back yet, so I’m really getting nervous. I know they sent out a ton of acceptance emails on Monday at like 8:45 in the morning, but sadly, I wasnt one of them and I’m still pending. I was deferred EA, and LMU is my absolute first choice, so I’m really hoping things work out!</p>

<p>Good luck everyone else still waiting, and congrats to those who were accepted!</p>

<p>Still waiting here too, and getting anxious. Deferred as well, was wondering how many other EA deferred applicants have yet to hear anything. Trying to remain positive! </p>

<p>Second the congrats and good luck wishes!</p>

<p>I applied EA also, got deferred and the wait is killing me. Especially when I hear that some ppl who applied RD or even on the deadline have already heard back.</p>

<p>My d was deferred too, and she’s not heard anything either.</p>

<p>I got my acceptance letter yesterday! But my portal stills says I’m currently under review</p>

<p>I was accepted a few weeks ago. If only they’d send me FinAid information…nevertheless, I’m super excited! Here are my stats:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.8 (unweighted)
ACT: 28
Coursework: 3 Honors, 7 AP
Extracurriculars: Sophomore - Operation Smile, Newspaper staff. Junior- French Club, Yearbook Editor, Op Smile, Newspaper Editor. Senior: French Club Officer, Operation Smile, Yearbook Editor, E.O.C. of newspaper.</p>

<p>Other: I write a mean essay…take some classes at another school. Yup.</p>

<p>I got deferred Early Action and haven’t heard yet. I got into USD and Chapman EA… I thought LMU was the easiest one out of the 3 to get into…</p>

<p>I was accepted about two or three weeks ago, and I’m very excited. Now I’m only worried about financial aid. I didn’t fill out the FAFSA because I didn’t think I would receive any federal aid. However, the myLMU page seems to imply that I won’t be considered for merit aid because I didn’t fill out the FAFSA…is this true?</p>

<p>Also, does anyone know how generous LMU is with merit aid?</p>

<p>I was accepted as a production major in the SFTV yesterday! Mypaw still says under review but I got the letter so…yeah. Still don’t know if I’m gonna go. It’s such a great opportunity (I didn’t expect to get in!) but it’s also soo close to home…</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone else!</p>

<p>I got my acceptance back in January saying I was accepted with “Honors at Entrance”, but my scholarship notice didn’t come in the mail until about three weeks later. I was invited to the Presidential Preview Weekend and I just got notice today that I am a Trustee Scholar!!! (Full tuition, room and board.) Stats…</p>

<p>SAT: 2060 (CR 730, M 690, W 640)
GPA-W/UW: 4.13/3.83
AP Classes: 9, rest Honors.</p>

<p>Other Info/Hooks: Captain of Swim Team, Vice President of school community service club, Committee Head in NHS, African American Male, …Out of State?</p>

<p>I’m super siced, even though LMU is not my #1.</p>

<p>For all those deferred EA and still waiting, I can only imagine how frustrating it would be to see others apply RD and breeze through in 2 weeks. Especially since the deferral letter (I know I keep bringing it up, can’t help it) was so brusque, cold and cavalier. I notice lots of the earlier posters in that position have disappeared. Could it be they have moved on? It was a top choice for them, long ago in November, and almost all had stats at or above LMU’s norm. My daughter never mentions LMU, never checks her account. I’'m keeping up with it for closure, as they say. She probably would have sent in her deposits by now if she had been accepted, which would have been an easy, comfortable choice. But because she is fortunate enough to have other acceptances (with merit awards) from other great schools, she has been exploring them, and learning a lot about herself and what she is looking for. She is going to end up making a better choice in the end and having a better experience, and I believe getting a better education. I hope others waiting also have other options to get invested in and excited about. LMU has turned off lots of good applicants, and I’m not sure what they’ve gained. You have to wonder, if this is how they treat students in the courtship phase, how great would the marrage be?</p>

<p>Hi Tealeaves,</p>

<p>I’m sorry to hear your daughter was deferred EA, but I’m glad she has found other places. It great that things are working out for her so well! I was deferred EA as well, but I have not been so lucky. I absolutely fell in love with LMU last year when I visited, and I’ve had my heart set on it ever since. It seems like the perfect fit for me and I was crushed when I was deferred, but I’m trying to hang in there and be positive. LMU is still my first choice, so I’m really hoping for the best!</p>

<p>I’m sorry you’re in limbo, stemar, because you are a good candidate and really love the school. I think you have every probability of getting in. Statistics don’t jump up drastically in a year. You are right in the zone, and I will keep my fingers crossed for you. LMU would be lucky to have you.</p>
