I also received my acceptance in the mail last week before the status checker change. It had scholly info in it. No email.

So it looks like the Status Checker is pretty useless?

For the most part. Mine went to decision rendered today (finally!) and my letter also came in today.
So I think it just depends how soon they get to update after sending. I'm assuming they sent out my letter over the weekend since I got it the same day my status changed.

There was nothing in there about scholarships though. Does that mean they are not offering me anything?

Did they call or email you, or did you just receive the acceptance in the mail?

It was the letter and LMU packet in the mail.

Mine said decision rendered, then got the packet two days later. No email.

Friend of mine got both in one day a couple weeks ago.

Anyone going to the student host day on Monday the 2nd?

For those who have received a decision, how long did it take?

Well I did early decision, so it didn't take long for me. Once your status changes to decision rendered, you should get your letter in the mail shortly though. Unfortunately, mine was rendered Dec 23, so the letter got lost most likely because of Christmas chaos. But once the status changes, it shouldn't take too long. I'm not sure about decision in general though for regular applicant.

Has anyone successfully negotiated a scholarship increase yet?

Not yet, but I send a negotiation email a few days ago using USD. Hoping they can bump it up a little bit.

They actually offered me more than USD, so sadly I can't use that.

But good luck, hope it works out for you!!

Oddly, I received my acceptance admission packet via snail mail and was notified online several days later....

I want to negotiate using USD and ASU also. Would you mind PMing on what your letter consisted of?

IS there a facebook page?

I didn't to apply to any schools around the same ranking as Loyola, going to be hard to negotiate the scholarship. I got a full ride offer from CA Western but they are not even ranked.

On a side note, I toured the campus a couple of weeks ago and I am not very fond of the location. Not sure if I can handle driving the 10/405 again to commute from the west side after having done that for my undergrad.

Yeah, same here. The only schools offering me full rides aren't ranked, and then Chapman is offering me more than Loyola, but they're ranked way below.

I went to one of their Open Houses in October. The Evidence professor was pretty awesome in my opinion. Probably going to end up getting a place near by or also suffer the 10 commute. -____-

Yea I met one of the professors too and she was raving about the school, said she had taught at USC and other schools but she likes Loyola the most - seemed genuine. I am going to consider moving closer to the school but it would be much cheaper to stay at home.

Oh, well that's interesting to know! The professors seem pretty genuine, so hopefully it ends up being a great experience for us if we both end up there! :]

I know I've posted this before, but I'll do it again anyway, as it's not against the rules.

Anyone looking to move to LA beginning June 1st-July 31st? I have a really great spot in a really awesome location (1304 W.2nd St. 90026)! PM me for more details and picture

I'm sorry to hear that :/ how were you notified, and did your status checker change?

Email came in this morning. The status checker still hasnt changed.

Edit: Went complete 1/20

I sent a complete application on Jan. 7 and still have not received a decision. Already been accepted at Pepperdine, Utah & Seattle with some financial aid, and I applied to those schools afterwards. Anyone else frustrated with a long wait from Loyola?

I applied early December and didn't get my acceptance with scholarship info via snail mail until two weeks ago. Major lag. But worth the wait!
