I was just told that any acceptance offers would not be sent out until September.
Thank you! My debate is whether to submit my application for other schools or not 🧐

id proceed normally with applying to other schools. Last year they took a very long time to roll out all decisions.

Yeah I guess I will, it’s just a bit inconvenient with all the fees of application

Oh I get it 100% trust me it’s just unfortunately part of the process :// but I’d hate for you to not apply and then have to wait an entire extra cycle to apply again to more schools

Where is everyone else applying? I’ve looked into Mississippi, Michigan, and PennVet but LMU is my top choice!

I applied to way too many schools! I am curious to see the results of all of my applications but also think LMU is wonderful. It will depend on how soon they let us know for the spring cohort and how much of a rush it will be to get settled by January.

I made the decision of “if I get an offer for a seat before the Sept.16 deadline for other apps. I’ll accept and go to lmu for spring. But if I pay the $2k bc they tell me after apps are due I’ll try and defer to fall so I can see the decisions of the other schools I applied to”

Hey! Just to let you know, you cannot defer to the Fall semester. It would be deferred to the next Spring.

The only way to have a chance at the Fall class is to deny the acceptance to the Spring and put your application back into the pool for the Fall selection, and it does not give you a higher chance of being re-accepted.

Whaaat. Is that new this year? I could’ve sworn people got in spring and deferred to fall last year. Thank you!!!!

Last cycle limited deferrals were offered and they were given for a full academic year so spring would be the following spring and fall was for the following fall. I’m sure they do this on purpose so that the spring cohort isn’t just people hoping to get accepted elsewhere and then drop when they do.

So if I get in I gotta decide if I take the chance of not getting in anywhere fall but if I get in for spring and accept I will have blown 2-3k🫠

Yes, tragically that is the case. Or you put down your LMU deposit and lose that. Last year it was around 1k I think

Congrats to the people that got accepted! When did you interview?
 
For anyone who interview July 29th , have you guys heard anything yet? I interviewed then and I haven’t heard anything. I’m getting worried now because people who interviewed on Monday already heard back.

Try not to worry! I interviewed in July last year and didn’t get an acceptance until October for January so just because you don’t hear anything right away doesn’t mean you won’t get anything! Congrats to everyone so far I deferred to this Jan and looking forward to meeting classmates:)

Thank you so much ! I’m so stressed !
 
I applied August 16th. Does anyone know when they might send out the next round of interview invites? Also congrats to those who got in!!
 
I interviewed August 26th and have not heard anything back from admissions yet, I know it’s a pretty short time frame but should I have any reason to be concerned given that some have already heard back who interviewed on the 26th. Should I have any reason to be concerned?
 
Hi guys! Do you know if they consider applicants for January past their Jan deadline for submission/casper? I’m open to starting January or Fall (and indicated that on my application) but I was taking summer classes so I didn’t submit my app and take my casper until last week. Does anybody know at what point they stop considering applications for Jan?

I believe they consider applications for spring through the VMCAS 16th deadline.

Also, to the people that got in, how long do you have to accept your seat?
 
Hey, for LMU can you submit your casper after the sept 16 deadline? My casper will be on the 17th

Nope! They will continue to review applications until the have settled the Spring class. Unless you specifically get a denial I would not worry!

No all schools who need the Casper will have their deadlines posted and they are often well before the VMCAS sept 16 deadline often in July or august. LMU has Sept 16 listed on their website as the last day they’ll accept

Thank you I really appreciate it!

^ yes they conduct interviews independently of what cohort you selected interest for. I had only selected Fall and still interviewed in late August and was offered a spot in the spring cohort. If you decline that offer you are put back into the pool for the Fall and have NO higher chance of then being selected for the fall cohort. I ultimately was accepted for fall but know people who had declined the spring offer and then were not offered a spot in fall
Hi, I was wondering if I could message you about this? I was accepted for the Spring; however, I would prefer to begin in Fall. What was this process like? Are you currently attending LMU-CVM? Thanks!

Hey everyone! I interviewed with LMU on August 26th. I haven’t received the follow-up email with the survey link… should I be worried? Did others who interviewed on the 26th get this email?
 
Interviewed 8/26, acceptance 8/30! Ill be accepting my seat for spring but my login info won't work for the deposit so im at a hold up. What are the "next steps" at this point? Also, has anyone had experience with not living in campus housing? Im planning on moving to the area full time with a partner.

Hey! I would contact admissions tomorrow and see if they can help you out on the deposit information.

As far as your other question, many of us are going to either live off campus in private housing or in the graduate housing. I can add you to our unofficial group chat if you would like to start getting to know some people!

That would be great! I plan to live off campus in private housing.
