LMU 2024-2025 (c/o 2029 hopefuls)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Got an interview invite today for Fall cohort!!!
Unless the interview invite specifically stated Fall (?) you could be pulled for either. Congrats on the interview!

Okay so my new guess for the next round of acceptances is Oct 16th (since I believe current accepted applicants have until the 15th to decide). I’m hoping that i’m wrong and that it’ll actually be sooner than that though
I think someone said last year the next “batch” was sent on 10/10. I sure hope it’s soon.

This is me. I have seven apps out. The only one I’ll get an answer from before LMU would start in Jan would be my IS which gives decisions around the middle of December. However, if LMU offers me Jan I plan to say yes- I don’t want to risk being put back in the pool for fall, and financially it’s not that huge of a difference from the other OOS on my list. Now….if my IS says yes, I’ll be in a pickle because it’s half the cost. So it would be a little scrambling to withdraw I guess but that’s what I’d do. I put fall preference but was pulled for an interview so fast I’m psyching myself out thinking they might ask me for spring.

All that to say….I could be totally wrong and not get a yes for spring OR fall!

Does anyone who got an interview want to compare stats? Not sure if that will make it better or worse. The “hurry up and wait” is a KILLER. Again, Best of luck to all.
At least you got an interview! I’m still waiting to hear about one which makes me think I’m less likely to get one at this point.

I interviewed on the same day as you & I’d be happy to compare stats. I’m a low gpa & relatively low hours applicant though so idk if it’d help.

Trust me I am VERY thankful and hopeful and you should be hopeful as well. We have a long way to go.

This is incredible! May I ask how you went about the wildlife research? I want to be a wildlife vet
 
It was through my college, so I was lucky to have that avenue to get the opportunity and experience. I didn’t get to do as much as I wanted because my schedule was so demanding but hopefully it rounds me out a bit.

Did you apply for fall or spring cohort? And what day did you submit your application?
I applied for preferably fall, but my understanding is they could still offer spring if they want to. i submitted the LMU supp app on september 15

Message me & we can compare!
 
Does anyone else’s heart drop when they read “Congratulations!” … and then read the next sentence “Your application is under review.” It gets me every time

My heart dropped seeing the word “congratulations” just now on this forum. I thought the next round of acceptances was sent out

LOL same. Did LMU send something out like that today?
 
Yes check your email you should have gotten an email about it

Oh, you’re referring to the supplemental application portal. I don’t believe they post any updates there, only through email. I interviewed and there were no portal updates.

Oh that is so good to know, thank you!!
 
You guys got this! I am starting at LMU this spring and was anxious when I applied last cycle. I know it brings on a lot of anxiety, but I am hoping you all hear back soon and we all become classmates! Good luck everyone!

Did you apply for spring, fall, or both cohorts?

I haven’t yet - hoping we get another round of acceptances once the current group’s deadline to accept passes. I think I saw someone say October 15th was the deadline? Don’t quote me on it though 🤣

That deadline is correct

Yeah, I’m hoping for clarity here too. I submitted around August 27 with fall preference and was interviewed the week after. If they’d offer me spring I’d take it but not sure spring is full- and I put fall, not either/or.
 
Last year it truly didn’t seem like there was a rhyme or reason as to who they interviewed first / fall & spring preference stuff so I would not worry if you haven’t heard anything! I knew people who were offered spots before me who had interviewed like a month+ after me. Regardless we were both offered spots so it’s definitely strange and frustrating but hang in there gang!

Does anybody know if accepted students have until the end of today to accept their spot, or if the deadline is at a certain time today? If its midday i’m hoping some new acceptances are sent out later today

Has LMU offered acceptances on a Wednesday in the past? Does anyone think acceptances will come out today?
First batch was on a Friday, not sure if there’s any rhyme or reason :/ checking my email like a psychopath though

I applied 9/8 and haven’t received anything other than they got my Casper score (which was an email on 9/10). Does that mean I’m most likely not getting an interview? ):
