I never received an email confirming all my materials were received like some of you guys. I was verified 9/2. I did however email one of the admissions people letting them know it was verified because we were communicating already about confirming my supplemental and GRE scores.

Should I contact them about this or just be patient? ....Patience hasn't been my strong point so far. :cyclops::nailbiting:

I submitted everything August 15th and was verified within a week by VMCAS, but I didn't receive conformation from LMU till September 2nd

Be patient...they're getting lots of apps.
 
Hello all! I've been stalking the forums here for several weeks and finally decided to make a profile.

I am super excited/nervous for this process and just waiting for the confirmation email at this point!

It looks like this time last year people were already receiving interview notifications (based on the c/o 2020 posts), has anyone heard anything?

Oh god that makes me nervous! I just want to hear if I got an interview already!!
 
scott1818 said:
You're right I just need to chill! Hopefully I will hear from them soon.

I know they do about 350 interviews, but do you know how many applicants there have been in the past?

Well I'm glad I was patient, for at least the day, because I just got the email confirming all my materials were received and being reviewed!
 
Anyone know how lenient they are with who they accept LOR's from? I had plans on applying but some how totally skipped over the 1 letter needing to be written by a professor until tonight when I was looking over everything. I e-mailed admissions but obviously won't get a reply until tomorrow at least.
 
Hi! Does anyone know how soon after sending in your app people usually get interviewed?

I emailed them about this and they said it needs to be someone who can speak to your academic abilities. Not sure how they'll be when they actually look at them though. Maybe they will give you a break.

Interesting. I wonder how they define that. If its a general ability to learn then I'm probably fine in if they mean in a school type setting then it probably won't be enough.

Either way, already done the supplemental app and paid that fee so might as well go through with applying anyway just to see what happens :\

Just received the email stating that it specifically HAS to come from a professor. I guess I won't be submitting that application.

That sucks, sorry 🙁

Life goes on. My biggest issue is that I was only applying to 3 schools to begin with so losing out on one makes the process a bit more intimidating. Lesson learned though, be more careful with going over required documents.
 
What is the average wait time to know whether you get an interview? Will they also tell you that they are not granting an interview?

Just FYI-Purdue requires no work on VMCAS and also has no supplemental! They also take a good amount of OOS people! Just incase you wanted to add another school on your list and this wasn't one of them..

Same with Midwestern! No work on vmcas and no separate supplemental application.

At this point is it even possible? Purdue requires GRE scores to be submitted today and that obviously isn't going to happen. I took it mid last month, so do you think theuy would accept it since the test was taken before today? Same goes with Midwestern but it seems like they apply before to apply directly even after the 15th deadline. Is that correct?

Oh yea, forgot to mention that I've already submitted my application for the other two. It seems like I can still add programs but I don't think I'll be able to add the additional prereqs to my transcript (I would need to add a class to spring 2017 classes to take for purdue).

Even with the delay with ETS they both still say Sept. 15th? I know vmcas is accepting scores until the 15th of October..

Midwestern has rolling admissions, so they take applications up until March. Maybe you can submit for them?

Another FYI- a lot of schools are accepting scores up until October 1st and even through November 30th (Colorado). Still something to think about..

According to last years thread, they started sending interview invites around this time!
 
Just got the email today that they have received all of my application materials!

When were you verified by VMCAS? Just wondering how long it took between verification and LMU receiving your application.

It was 10 days between verification and confirmation from LMU, for me. It will probably take a little longer the closer to 9/15 you submitted though.
 
Hi everyone!!

I just finished reading the threads for c/o 2020 and I'm glad to find somebody has already made one for 2021! I just received an email that my VMCAS application has been verified. I'm already anxious.

I submitted my application on 9/9/16 and got the verification email on 9/12/16. 🙂

Did you contact admissions? I almost emailed them today asking the same questions because I'm too anxious to hear from them!!

That's exciting! Did they say why so much later than last year? I wonder if they have a lot more applicants this cycle.

No it was over email because no one was answering the phone the last couple of weeks 🙂 Had to try a new method of communication!
 
Sooo I added LMU to my list of schools super last minute (like sent everything in sept 12) and I still haven't gotten an email that they received all my things -- anybody else in this same boat?? I haven't emailed them to ask or anything cause they're probably swamped but I'm nervous!!

I would email them just to make sure and ease your nervousness! Everyone there that I have talked to is super helpful and responds within 24 hours.

I recently emailed them as well and they said they don't begin to look over applications until mid/end October!

Arrrrggggh it really hasn't been that long, considering how drawn out this whole process is. Definitely a test of patience.
 
I submitted late August and was verified early September and haven't heard anything yet. A friend of mine had a similar timeline but already received a rejection e-mail from them.

Do you know when they received their rejection?

Last Thursday (9/29/16) and I believe she was verified shortly after the VMCAS submission date. She also had a major error in her application so that may have prompted a faster decision on LMU's part.
