Hey everyone! I thought I would make a thread for all of those applying to Loma Linda for this cycle! Feel free to post your stats and anything else related to Loma Linda!

I was also wondering how long it takes the Admissions Office to get back to you after you submit the supplemental application?

Lastly, for anyone that is currently attending or has graduated from the DPT program, what are your thoughts about the program? Loma Linda is in my top three of PT schools, but I want to know other people's opinions :)

Thanks a bunch!

Hey!

I'm a first year at LLU and just finished the 7 week anatomy course. I start again on Monday so I can give you any details about what I've been through itself or the process before that! Just PM me

Before I apply LLU through PTCAS, I sent an e-mail about application, but they told me that priority deadline for June 2017 has already passed. I don't understand about the information! I knew that LLU deadline is 11/1/2016 and confused about the priority deadline. What's going on?

i just received my secondary application. Each of the essays have a 4000 character count. Should I go for quality> quantity; making the essays as long as they need to be to get the point across or use up my characters?

From what I heard, LLU has 2 periods where they accept applicants. I believe the first period is July 1-September 1 which is when they accept most of their applicants and the next is November to January. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that's how it works.

They said by next week, if you receive the email that means u got accepted.
If not they will send deny letter in mail. So that's why i was wondering if anybody received anything yet for the second round of acceptance

Well, if we haven't heard back from the 2nd round of acceptances, maybe we should be waiting for denial letters :\

Can this be fake news please?

That sounds odd.. why would they send acceptances through email but denials through snail mail.. I would think it's the other way around but I guess not..

Did you get this information from Heather?

So has anyone gotten acceptance emails yet? I'm still in the dark over here and I live pretty close to the school. So i would think if i were to get a rejection letter i would have gotten it sooner than most. But still nothing

I'm really curious as to what their method is for how they send out these notices. I wonder if maybe for those of us that are still completely in the dark, if maybe the committee is still on the fence about some of us? And just waiting for acceptance confirmations from others? That's all I can think of for why it would take this long. Maybe someone else has an idea of the process or can speculate as well?

Most likely they are waiting for acceptance and we will be in alternate list

Still nothing for me as well. Last time I contacted them (1/20), they told me that the decision has not been made on my file.
