Is it just me or is the only application available on LSAC for Loyola for Fall 2011?

Not just you. I think they haven't put their application up yet. Their website says that it will be up on October 1st and that they will start processing them October 3rd so it should be up. Loyola is known for being sloooow in admissions so maybe they're slow in putting up their apps too.

Thanks! I wrote Loyola asking this same question and they responded that it had been made available on 10/01. Hopefully it will be up tomorrow.

I will be applying..... as soon as my October LSAT come back

+1 yay for them being the only CA school to give me a fee waiver!

Did you ask for it or did they just send it to you?

AmeriCorps solicited waiver

lol ironically enough, I know you tried to specify which Loyola by saying "LA", but I actually thought this meant Loyola Louisiana (as in New Orleans) at first glance. Presuming Los Angeles probably makes a little more sense though...

Made me lol thinking about the other one that is NOT Loyola LA is NOLA hehe

Anybody apply yet? I applied about a week ago but they still haven't requested my Law School Report, should I be concerned?
It is the only school that hasn't requested it!

I haven't applied yet . Loyola is notoriously slooooow in admissions so I wouldn't be too worried yet.

Have they requested the CAS thingy from LSAC? I submitted early oct and still the only school that has not requested.

OHAI. I belong in here now.

Does Loyola have a status checker or anything? I applied almost three weeks ago and haven't gotten an email or anything from them.

I applied early October and have yet to hear from them either.

Anyone attended a forum/spoken with an admissions person yet? Thinking of going to the forum in Houston this weekend, wondering if anyone had any advice/recommendations. University of Oklahoma grad-to-be (May '12), LMU is my first choice.

I've heard resumes aren't typically recommended at these things.

I attended a law school fair at a University and talked with a rep there. I was able to get a fee waiver from them but that was about the only useful thing to happen. Besides, that I asked the rep. a few questions.

Thanks, I've heard these things are good for fee waivers. Might not sound like a big deal, but they add up if you're applying to 5+ schools.

Good luck guys! im a 1L...in Crim right now...PM me if you have ?'s and I'll try to respond, Finals are approaching so I cant promise fast replies. In any event, relax, you guys have a loooooong cycle coming so dont freak out now.

Finally got my status checker today.
