I interviewed at LLU this morning. For those of you who are curious, the day consisted of the following:
Introduction
Financial Aid Presentation
Accreditation Presentation
Writing Sample (30-40 min).
Lunch
Interview (30 min).

My writing sample topic was "Define and explain your personal mission" although there seemed to be several topics because other people had different ones.

There was no tour and the lunch is vegetarian so be prepared for that. Everyone seemed nice, and I thought it was very low stress.

It started at 9:30 and was supposed to last until 2:30, but my interview ended at 1:30 so I was able to go after that. Hope this helps!

oasisdlwr, Thanks so much for your info! During the accreditation presentation, did LLU address when they expect to receive full accreditation? Also, how many interviewees did you think came to yours? I hope you get in! I'm still waiting......

What I learned from the accreditation presentation was that once a school graduates their first class, they have 5 years in which to apply and be accepted for full accreditation status. LLU and UCSD were not granted full accreditation last summer, but from what it sounded like, it's not atypical for a school not to receive full accreditation the first year they apply for it. The guy who presented yesterday said that they would continue to submit requests for accreditation, and he didn't seem too worried that they wouldn't be granted full accreditation within the 5 years granted.

There were only 10 interviewees there yesterday, including myself. 11 were scheduled but only 10 showed up. From the schedule they gave us, there were 5 sets of interviewers (2 faculty members) that interviewed 3 students in a row. So I would assume most interview dates would have at max 15 students if they follow the same schedule as yesterday (unless they add more faculty interviewer groups).

This is interesting. Seems like very few people are invited for interview and those invited for interview are really lucky!!!!
OasisDwlr did you like the school? How is the area? jobless or possibilities!!!! Let me know
