Loyola LA 2012 applicants! Forum

[fashiongirl]

December here and still waiting. Fair to say that we won't hear anything until next week at the earliest and we should all stop checking our status checkers? You know i'm right...

But I don't wanna stop checking

I have a love/hate relationship w/ status checkers!

Me too. I'm usually really good about only checking them once a day but since I'm not at work today I've already checked twice.

That's really good...i'm at work and can't stop checking. At home I can find things to do but work can wait. Off to check again...

Has anyone who's already been accepted not yet received their admissions letter/packet in the mail? My decision was rendered on 1/31 (accepted, emails confirmed), but I haven't received anything via snail mail. I know they say it should be received within 7 business days, so I've just passed that window, which is doubly strange because I'm local.

Also, does anyone know what the floors are for scholarship money? My LSAT score is above 75%, but my GPA is below 50%. Any chance for some $$$?

My LSAT score and GPA were at the medians and they offered me $$$. It was a complete shock! You should definitely be expecting something.

I have a decision rendered as of 2/9 I haven't received any email informing me of my acceptance... does this mean I've been dinged? How long after your decision rendered did you receive an email informing you of your acceptance? Did most people find out via email before the package came in the mail?

They only send decisions through snail mail. They mess up sometimes and send an "again, congratulations!" email assuming people have already received their admission packet when they haven't. 2/9 was only 2 business days ago, I don't think they would send that email yet.

Is anyone still waiting for a decision who applied and went complete in November? I feel like I'm most certainly going to get dinged.

Brother and Uncle are both attorneys in LA. Would love the opportunity to go to school and practice there. No movement since 11/16. I do not have a good feeling about the long wait.

[goldenflash19]

+2 i am trying to stay positive but I've been waiting for months... I dont think it's looking good for me. I wish they would just give me their letter to get ot over with! Are they sending all the rejections at one?

[Cheekie F Baby]

Who's in and going 100%? Where are my future classmates?


Sidenote, did you have to have your FAFSA completed to get scholarship consideration? I got my acceptance (no scholly) and realized I completely forgot about the FAFSA.

[Pleasye]

If Loyola let's me in I'm going 100% so please let me innn

[Dash41]

Got back my decision packet. Only got 23k a year. Was hoping for the 32k a year, but I guess they favor GPA more than LSAT. Probably can't attend with only that much money.

That's not very encouraging for me, my LSAT and GPA are slightly lower than yours and I was hoping for as much as possible. By the way, when did your decision render, Dash?

even if they offer no scholly money? I'm just weighing my options and I would like to know what others are thinking about when making a decision. I would love to go to Loyola, but they didn't offer me any money. I don't want to have to wait a year and retake

[Cheekie F Baby]

DUUUUUDES, did everyone that get scholarship $$ complete their FAFSA beforehand?

[Observant_Poster]

Got my package today... I'm in but with no money.
160 3.59
Sent 12/13
Complete 12/22
Decison Rendered 2/9


200k in debt at Loyola where I spend 1500 a month for the next 30 years in repayment

or

full ride at southwestern where I take out 60k to live off of and spend 500 a month for the next 30 in repayment

Any chance of money at loyola if it isnt in the package. Maybe need based grants?

Well, the best offer I have right now is $23k from San Diego (which is definitely awesome).However, if I go to SD I have to pay to live there. Also, I'm from LA and would like to work here. If I stay here I can live at home and pay no rent so it kind of evens out for me.

Cheekie F - the scholarships people have received are merit-based, I don't think you need to fill out the FAFSA for them.

I filled out my FAFSA after I got my scholarship.
