How Long for Decision (received post-card)

Nice to see you again, BayArea.

We had a fun time last spring waiting for LMU, didn’t we? My son didn’t hear until April 15th only because HE called the office to ask if a decision had been made. The lame excuse was “Huh. That’s weird. I don’t know why he didn’t receive a decision.” It was a “admit”, after admitted students day… Totally unacceptable. This is what admissions offices do - they evaluate candidates and notify them with an admissions or a deny. Losing documents happens, but from our experience (and many others in son’s school), there were way too many mistakes. He was an EA applicant back in October, got denied early in December and then began the long wait until he finally called them mid-April, after several emails and phone calls.

BTW, son got a nice scholarship from Chapman, and is in the middle of spring semester of freshman year there. Loves it. He is beyond happy at Chapman - good program and professors, amazing campus, terrific friends and the admissions and financial aid office has been EXTREMELY helpful and professional, along the way.

I highly recommend Chapman.
