Transfers Fall 2009?

<p>Ok,so I called today, and they admissions lady said, my application was being reviewed right now, and that my application decision may be sent out next week, or the week after, but she said it could be sooner, so call and see the status of your application, and most importantly ask specific questions!!! Good luck</p>

<p>so I just got rejected form UCLA… its a wonderful feeling. LMU is my second choice.
i just need some reassurance. I’m a Communication major (now thinking about getting a teaching certificate as well) transferring out of SMC. My GPA is 3.5 and I have amazing extracurricular activities and an equally amazing essay.
What are my chances?</p>

<p>I think you’ll be fine*</p>

<p>Hey, I’m a transfer as well, and can’t stand this wait. I got rejected from UCLA two days ago too… : |… I have not called LMU yet so I can’t add any input on when we will hear back. I’ve been looking everywhere on the page and everything that deals with admission decisions only deals with incoming freshmen. I am also trying to get into the film production / screenwriting course and hope my 3.89 is good enough. It sure wasn’t good enough for UCLA, USC, or NYU… if I don’t get in i don’t know what I’ll do… We should start our own school!!!</p>

<p>and my AIM is bxcrracers if anybody wants to chat</p>

<p>Hey ! Did you apply under film production or screenwriting on the application? I applied under screenwriting and I am anxiously waiting… I hope I get in! You for sure have a good chance, a 3.89? Crazy. Where are you transferring from? I have a 3.66 and don’t know if that is good enough… We should hear back either this week or the next!</p>

<p>You know I don’t really remember, I have been doing a lot of screenwriting and when I applied for UCLA I applied for English / Creative Writing / Screenwriting. I think I applied to production though. I’m transferring from a community college in northern California. I get my AA at the end of this semester and LMU is my last hope.</p>

<p>i really dont think you have much to worry about, unless the major is competitive and u didnt complete your GEs</p>

<p>yeah I hope so. The only thing holding me back is that two years ago I attended a CC in San Diego, and got a 3.0, one class I received a D… coming back I haven taken 2 semesters at the CC in Sacramento, taking 7 classes (20+ units) and got a 4.0 both times, and hopefully a third one this semester. I’m not sure if that stunt two years ago is hurting me that bad. I hope they see my improvement and dedication since that one flop semester… We shall find out soon enough.</p>

<p>blahhhh Im sooo freaking nervous! Do you think transferring from Loyola Chicago will help? A jesuit to a jesuit school?</p>

<p>Im sure it couldnt hurt in any way. So that means it can only help. Are the schools related in any way? I.e the St. Marys schools are connected and have sister schools.</p>

<p>Did anyone here do the application “carry-over method”? Admissions said that if you applied last year as a freshman, your application is still on file, and therefore only wanted a letter discussing your interest and a request to carry over the application from last year to this year along with a new transcript.</p>

<p>Nope, not me.</p>

<p>… is Communication competitive at LMU?</p>

<p>I’m not sure, I just spoke with a counselor via AIM, and she said that Film is the most competitive, but if you want to be considered for a different major if the first one is too competitive you must e-mail them about it.</p>

<p>Laker247, I did the carry over method, I applied fall08, and got accepted actually. So I’m hoping they accept me again*</p>

<p>I applied in Fall 2008 for the Spring 2009 semester and was NOT accepted. But I got a 4.0 last semester at my community college. So I sent them my upated transcripts which included a cumalitive GPA of a 3.5 (up from a 3.4) and asked them to carry over my application to the Fall 2009 semester. This was done at the end of Feb. Well, what a pain in the ass it has been. I haven’t hear a thing! I finnaly called today and they told me my application is complete, and has been reviewed, but a decision has not been made. ***?! Does that even make sense to anyone? Why would they review my application and then not make a decision? Anyways, I also applied to Chapman and its been pretty much the same thing, which is nothing.</p>

<p>I’m a film production major by the way.</p>

<p>If I dont get in how should I kill myself?</p>

<p>1) Goldengate Bridge</p>

<p>2) Dog Mauling</p>

<p>3) Drink a pint of cough syrup</p>

<p>4) or take a trip to mexico city and try and contract the Swine Flue?</p>

<p>jcarrol your GPA was a 3.4 when you applied last semester? What did they say you needed you to improve on in your rejection letter? a 3.4 is pretty high considering they only require a 3.0 GPA…but film is a competitive neighbor. I know how you are feeling! I am applying in teh film school, screenwriting, and now that I learned you were rejected with a 3.4 is making me a little nervous… I have a 3.6 something as of right now. Will be higher once I get my semester two grades. How were your high school grades?</p>

<p>Lol just so happends I taped the letter to my wall to pump me up!</p>

<p>“Many aspects of your profile are indeed positive. However, your overall academic record is not as strong as the committee requires. As you know, we cannot accomoate everyone who applies and must therefore, select from those who present the strongest overall academic records.”-LMU rejectance letter</p>

<p>My highschool grades were absolutely disgusting, as well as my first year of junior college. After I moved to Huntington Beach though, I got on track and the last time I got a grade lower than an A was Spring 2008 when I got a B. (thats including two summer classes and a winter class which I got A’s in.)</p>

<p>Long story short, I’ll have my AA once this semester is over, with a GPA around 3.5 to 3.6I also had alot of volunteer hours. (but according to LMU that doesn’t mean ****) If I don’t get in I’m just going to say the hell with film and become a lawyer. In other words, sell my soul to the devil.</p>
