you can do it brent!!!
honestly though if i were in your shoes i don't think i'd wait until february. you know this is where you want to go, you only applied to one school, and you've already waited 6+ months so why wait one more? i would just go for it. it's really too bad loyola doesn't have an edp program...
I agree. Brent, you should let Loyola know asap that they are the only school you've applied to because you feel so strongly that your mission and their mission are so similar, etc., etc. I KNOW they won't think it sounds like desperation, especially if you point out that you ONLY applied to their school! That actually puts you in a different category from someone who applied to 20-30 schools, and are just sending letters of interest to all the schools in the hope for an interview somewhere. You, on the other hand, ONLY want an interview at Loyola. And the fact that you felt so strongly that you only applied to them should show your dedication, determination, and especially point out how strongly you value a proper fit as well. I could go on and on about this, but I really think you should do this now, and not wait longer. If it were me, I would have probably sent it after I'd been reviewed once and not yet selected. Just be sure to really drive home what you love about them and what makes you the perfect fit. Good luck!
I don't think there's anything wrong with sending another one now. Then again, I don't recall when you sent the last letter. If it was a month ago, perfect. Write a letter of INTENT now, include the grade, and stress why Loyola is perfect for you, and why you're perfect for Loyola. I don't see any reason why you should talk about why you didn't send this earlier. I wouldn't get into that. Just send it now (or soon if you *just* sent a letter of interest), and flesh out everything.
They will send out massive rejections at the end of the interview season (end of April?) or I'd like to call it MOAR (Mother Of All Rejections). So far, I think they have axed pre-secondary only.
Someone said that they have an eight ball sitting on the desk, right next to the phone. Whenever the phone rings, they ask for your AMCAS ID# and pretend to look up your file. But what actually happens is they pick up the eight ball, shake it a few times, and read the message to you, "Your file will be reviewed again in Feb. Call back if you don't hear anything by end of Feb." or "Your file has been reviewed and will be reviewed again."
Good luck guys!
That is true. At least they are going to be timely with the mailing of letters.🙂
But I agree, I don't want to wait that long either....I have to leave my desk job for the rest of the day now for my free clinic job....so if I get a phone call in say the next 6 hours or so, I won't be able to post it until I get home for the night. I also won't be able to check and see if you or namsoon (or anyone else for that matter) gets a call in this window. Oh well....compulsive cell phone checking for me!
Good luck!
Me too! I called 2 weeks ago and they told me i'm up for review in Feb. Last week, they said "between now and March," and today they told me "betwen now and APRIL!" 😱 It seems to get worse every time I call. I asked them if my file was reviewed since I last called but the person on the phone said it hasn't been since I called last week. I don't get it!
I think it's their way of making us stop calling every week.
i'm curious about this too. do invites usually go out on certain days?
Best of luck everyone!
