@soulsis16 My son goes to a private school with grade deflation. He has a 3.8 GPA and a 33 ACt (34 superscore). he doesn’t have a lot of film experience but lots of acting and some photography so he positioned himself as the creative arts kid (and he’s a boy which may help).
I applied EA to loyola. ACT 28. GPA 4.0 weighted. 3.56 unweighted.
I got in 
Psychology major
Thanks, @piksla! That’s great news that he was accepted just on his overall creativity and not specifically for his experience in film per se. Do you mind if I ask if he currently attends a Catholic/Jesuit private school? I know LMU is Jesuit.
For those accepted Early Decision, any idea how we will hear about merit awards? I have the 20th marked on my calendar, will we get something in the mail or an update to the portal?
just got deferred luvin life
I got deferred too 
Another deferral here
Got my financial aid package today! They send an email.
@ArtistXC113 was it just an e-mail? Did they also post something to the portal? Nothing here yet…
Nothing here i was early action
Any information anyone?? Im very nervous here haha
@federerfan333 It was an email with a link to MyLMU. It has basic info on it, and once you pay your commitment deposit the site updates to include all the student info, access to your student email, PROWL, etc. You also get a separate email with your MyAid log-in info once your financial aid package is finished.
Thanks @ArtistXC113. I received the admit e-mail on November 23, but nothing after that about a MyLMU login. Hopefully I will get the login with financial aid info today. The waiting is killing me!
@federerfan333 I called financial aid a few weeks ago and they told me I would get my package by Dec. 20th. I got it this morning but my PROWL account hasn’t been updated. Hopefully you will get yours soon!
Do you know if early action is also by dec 20?
They told me early february for early action
Just got accepted EA with a 3.5 GPA, 27 ACT, and lots of extracurricular!!! Can’t wait to be a lion!!
does it depend on how early you submitted your fafsa?
Financial aid awards are available on MyLMU for Early Decision applicants!
