XXZ · Mar 16, 2026

Has anyone received any updates yet? I was told the decision would be released by mid-March, but I'm not sure if we're still in the waiting period...

Yeah I've been wondering the same thing, I know the undergrad decisions went out a couple days ago so I've been refreshing the portal almost every hour.

No literally! almost every other school has dropped their decisions so I was like there's no way I'm the only one waiting on LMU.

cheeseplank · Mar 17, 2026

I saw from last years applications they got their decisions on March 17th so ig we should hear smth today… fingers crossed guys

thebooster5000 · Mar 17, 2026

Haven’t gotten mine but I imagine it’ll be soon considering Chapman was yesterday and I got denied by afi and nyu yesterday as well.

Word that's what I saw too, The year before it seems like they waited all the way until the end of march so like you said fingers crossed that they follow the pattern from last year.

Yeah LMU is one of the more affordable programs amongst the top ranking schools so I imagine a lot of people are waiting to hear from them so they can evaluate all their options.
