Loyola Problems and Questions...Help!!

if it is going to take you time, you might want to write a letter requesting more than a two week extension. on the recommendation letter instructions that they send, they should mention something like "although it is ideal that the rec. letters come in by the due date stamped on your app. we realize that this is not always possible. If you need more than a two wk. extension, please write us a letter."

 

racergirl, don't worry about the letter. just request it, as long as they see you have your secondary completed and that the delay is not on your part, then that is ok.

loyola (named after St. Ignatius of Loyola - founder of the Jesuit order) is a jesuit founded and run university. i'm not sure if you are familiar with the Jesuit order of the Catholic church but it is not all religious types or anything like that. i went to a jesuit high school and most students were not catholic. so i wouldn't worry about it b/c the jesuit mission is based on education, unlike some other religions. some schools you might be familiar with are Georgetown, Creighton, Fordham, Santa Clara - all Jesuit schools.

do not type in your essays. do it on the computer, then cut and paste on the paper copy, then photocopy the entire application. they actually say somewhere that they prefer it that way. Do not worry about the goo on your application; it might be covered up by the pasted in essays. if you are freaked about it, just call them and let them know and they will probably send you another copy.
