Hey guys! have any of you that applied RD heard back already? If so, when did you apply? My FA status was changed from “received” to “completed.” Does that mean they have all the necessary documents?
Hi @collegebound1333 I am an EA deferred applicant and I received a financial aid email saying that my FA was completed as well. I read that other RD applicants who were accepted received this email before their acceptance. I wonder if it’s a good sign?? #crossingfingers
@onmyway1 shouldn’t ea applicants be getting their decisions before rd? the lmu admissions office seems to sending out admissions decisions very sporadically
@onmyway1 I hope so! I’m getting very anxious. Where have you read that RD applicants received the FA email before their acceptances. I’m definitely going to be crossing my fingers.
@harrycrow I’ve heard from friends in past years that they found the LMU admissions office to be very disorganized. I’ve also heard they notify applicants on a random basis as well.
@collegebound1333 @harrycrow I like how we’re all talking to each other on different forums haha
But it’s weird my friend only heard that she got accepted via regular mail while another friend found out that he got in via email. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see but let’s definitely keep each other updated on our status.
What were your guys’ stats if you don’t mind me asking??

Did anyone get accepted to their business school?
Business School AIMS - Regular Decision
no, I’m still waiting to hear when did you submit?
I am waiting to hear. submitted on Jan 5, 2015 anxious
@college5565 yes
@Beardown97 - When did you apply for AIMS?
Sorry, but what is AIMS?
Applied information management system
onmyway1 I’m pretty sure that that is in fact a good sign. I received that email this morning around 9am and received my acceptance email at 2:30! Good luck
From what i have seen people have gotten the completed email and acceptance on the same day, but many just got the completed email on the 5th… i wonder if that was an overall applicant thing
