<p>aHHHH still waiting.
i am super frustrated >/
but thanks adultparentmom! for your optimism (:</p>
<p>BayAreaCAMom,</p>
<p>My oldest son is a freshman at USD. It is an outstanding school. My younger son got in there, too (and yes, it is more "competitive", whatever that means, nowadays!) Younger son deciding between Chapman and Saint Mary's right now. LMU was a top choice for him months ago, but with no news, he has become pretty detached to the school. We are going to the visit days at each of the schools so son can choose the best one for him. </p>
<p>If you have any questions about USD, feel free to email me.</p>
<p>Michelle</p>
<p>thanks, Michelle, aka littlegreenmom. sounds like we have similiar schools. D also got into St. Mary's, which is less than an hour from us. pretty school, but a bit too small and quiet for my D. we are thinking of going down to usd, but am waiting to hear from lmu before making travel plans, so that is the hard part. just talked to another friend whose son has not yet heard from lmu, either (except that he doesn't care!) I may very well email you about usd, thanks! let me know if you have any questions about northern ca!</p>
<p>ah...as a rolling school, LMU just isnt cutting it...i do not consider 4 months of waiting rolling admissions...</p>
<p>:(</p>
<p>seriously man...</p>
<p>dude. NYU receives over 37K applicants and i heard from them A MONTH AGO.</p>
<p>and wow. LMU does NOT even receive that many applicants..... not even close.</p>
<p>This might tell us something about the competency of the administration. Other schools have WAY more apps and are prompt and courteous with their updates and responses. LMU just sends a message that they are "swamped with mail". I mean, it's a private school that isn't a big name....how swamped can they be?</p>

<p>LMU is probably very "swamped." I think the thing is that they have the very difficult job of weaving out the applicants that are using LMU as a safety school to UCLA and Pepperdine.</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>Just stick in there, guys! Best of luck to everyone.</p>
<p>D still waiting to hear from her top 2 schools, Santa Clara and LMU, both of which she applied to Early (in Oct!) and was deferred, and we are still waiting.....she has a few good acceptances...but all is on hold until we hear from those 2.........heard that Santa Clara mailed all final notices on Friday, (and can't believe we have not received it, we live 20 min away!!) but if I believe what I read above in this thread, sounds like LMU may not have even mailed final notices yet, so it could be the end of this week! Way too long and way too late to notify.......but nothing we can do but wait......</p>
<p>still waiting.....and waiting......very hard.......</p>
<p>oo bayareaCAmom! where do u live?
cuz i live like reallllly close to santa clara U, too. hahaha.</p>
<p>coolrena, have you heard yet from scu? and if so, when? seems like everyone has but us. </p>
<p>at least a lot of people have not heard yet from lmu. misery loves company.</p>
<p>My top two schools are SCU and LMU, as well. I have not heard back yet. :)</p>
<p>mikei - you have not heard from scu, either? am just really concerned that something is missing from D's application or what not, as we live less than 10 miles from the school, and if they mailed it on Fri, we should have had it by yesterday, or even Monday. Plus, everyone we know has heard.</p>
<p>lmu is a different story, as it seems there are quite a few here that have not heard. just worried because others who have not heard have received email communications along the way from lmu, and D has not ever had a single email communication from them.......am getting pretty frustrated that lmu may not have even sent out yet................</p>
<p>I talked to someone in the Admissions office at LMU at 9 am, PT, this morning, and decisions will not be complete until the end of the week. They were, at least, able to look up my D's status, and her file is complete, but no decision has been reached yet. ugh.....this is taking way, way too long......</p>
<p>Just called admissions right now and they told me the same thing, that the office is making decisions this week and they would mail out letters either Friday or Monday...however, I was told last week we would be hearing from them this week....no matter. I'm SO NERVOUS. I don't think I have any fingernails left from chewing them....</p>
<p>i know how you feel, prez! it's the worst thing: to wait. :/</p>
<p>I got an e-mail asking me to fill out financial aid stuff, and it said I had gotten in. It made it seem like an acceptance had already been sent. I never got one. Furthermore, I didn't apply for financial aid. And I didn't ever pay the application fee.</p>
<p>I think they're a little overwhelmed with the increase in applicants or something, haha.</p>
<p>Yeah, I just got an email saying I was accepted but needed to send additional financial aid forms. I did apply for aid, though. I'm going to call tomorrow to see when (and if) they sent the acceptance...I can't see what forms I owe until I get my user name and pin (which they send with the acceptance) to sign in online.</p>
<p>I didn't get any e-mail like that.....I hope that doesn't mean I didn't get in :/</p>
<p>I didn't get an email either. What does it say?</p>
