Anyone get their Financial Aid Award letter and know anything about appealing amount offered?
is there a thread for waitlist students?
@cmn1995 I was just wondering the same thing, I’m curious as to how finding a roommate and housing will work if someone were to get accepted off the waitlist
@sparkletoes wondering the same thing
@Snix721 I appealed last year and got nowhere but it’s worth a try. I even tried to appeal this year as my D is a freshman and didn’t even get a response to my email! They’re probably sick of me LOL. Here is the link where you can find information on how to appeal: https://financialaid.lmu.edu/current/appeals/
Has anyone still not heard?? I was deferred in December and I have still heard nothing, with the deadline rapidly approaching…
@lettucelover You should definitely call them Monday if your portal is not updated by Sunday.
I will! I feel like I am the last person to know
Waitlisted. Just read some data off a California site from all CA schools. 2498 waitlisted LMU in ‘17. Accepted off waitlist…7! All my hopes just crushed.
@thickchick99 are you serious! where did you read that i’ve been looking for stats everywhere, i mean you have to keep in mind tho that last year pretty much every college over enrolled, i mean last year sdsu accepted 9 people off the 1,600 kids on the waitlist while two years ago they accepted 600 off of it, i think this year is just the year of the waitlisted i only know 7 people that got into lmu and all 7 of them won’t be going
Here is the common data set for 2017.
I’m debating writing a LOCI to them but don’t know if it will make any difference. Had contact and emails with my counselor before waitlisted. Don’t want to be a PIA to them. And does anyone know how soon after May 1 they start calling those on waitlist?
@Mimi2018 is there something like that for usd been trying to find that one too
@rocknix- Google Common Data Set University San Diego (or any school into which you’re looking). I found it very helpful when helping my D figure out where to apply.
She fell in love with LMU immediately and didn’t want to apply anyplace else, but I still used the CDS for a guide in case she changed her mind. USC was one of her reach schools but even after visiting the campus, LMU was still the only school she really hoped to attend.
I would definitely send a LOCI if LMU is where you want to go!
I hope everyone had a great Good/Holy Friday, and will have an amazing Easter!
does LOCI mean letter of continued interest?
would you recommend sending an additional one along with the statement we made when clicking on the option to still be considered for admission on the portal?
Has any RD applicant got there financial aid package?
Yes my S did a week or two ago. He didn’t qualify for any aid but did receive an award
@beetlejay when did your son get his acceptance? Can you share his stats and award amount?
