Loyola Marymount Fall 2010

Congrats wyy123!

I was told people would be notified by Late Feb through April!?!

Couple of questions:

Who signed off on the acceptance letter/

Were you accepted for screenwriting or Film production?

If you don't mind me asking, what was your GRE and GPA scores?

Also, is your undergrad work in Film?

 

[wyy123]

Well the letter says upon recommendation from the School of Film...and the approval of Dean Stephen Duncan, yadayada...you have been accepted (sorry that's the first paragraph paraphrased by me). Signed by Chake Kouyoumigan.

Applied for Film Production

Undergrad in Business Management and English and I'm getting an MBA right now.

Written a few screenplays, made a few shorts. I sent in my application in November with all my others so it was really early.

Don't get worried everyone, it's super early.

 

[wyy123]

They gave me an extension to commit until the end of March thank goodness!

 

[jedimastere]

Hey wyy123!

Who did you get to speak to on the extension?

Did they give you any sharable info on their selection process?

I called Grad Admissions Office and was told My complete App is in their hands as we speak.

I am hoping they haven't finished already as I have received nothing in the mail and LMU is my preferred/only choice for what I hope to do with film.

 

[wyy123]

I've only talked to Chake Kouyoumigan, but please don't call her asking about whether or not you're in the school (I don't think she handles any of that)

They just accepted me early I think that's it, there's no information or anything that I can give besides that.

Trust me I'm sure they're nowhere near done with the process. They've had my application for such a long time that I assume that's why they were already done with it.

Really, just wait it out. I don't think you have to worry at all.

Is there any way we can check our status online?

 

[wyy123]

I don't recall there being one, they just snail mailed me the big envelope.

 

[4ms4]

Just got a call for a phone interview.

What is the story with LMU? Why isn't it on the top 10 film school list?

 

[elcineman]

4ms4
Are you from Los Angeles or Louisiana?

 

[filmnw]

4ms4: The department is rather new. It has not had the endowment that Chapman has had. I toured the program. The people were nice, the school is located in a beautiful area of LA overlooking everything. Michael Cera's BFF went there..and you can't beat the Jesuit Education.

 

[4ms4]

Los Angeles. Thanks for the info.

Once LMU has your app they will set up MYPAW which you can go online and see the status of your app and financial aid.
Seems like it takes them awhile. The only thing they need from me is my transcript which they received over a wk ago electronically. LMU is where I want to transfer so I'll have to have patience.

 

[jedimastere]

I thought LMU Grad students could not use the online system.

Maybe I just need to give it time.

Still have not heard anything yet!?

jedimastere
Sorry, I am talking about undergrad transfers.

 

[BlackJack23]

Wow, I'm glad to see so many people have applied to LMU. I've also applied there, received the email directing me to sign up at the LMU website. Not sure when I will know whether I've gotten in or not but hopefull we all have.

 

[4ms4]

Yeah, I really like that their vision statement mentions that the emphasis is on understanding and mastering visual storytelling grounded in humanistic ideas.

 

[jedimastere]

So who Here is actually in already?

I am still waiting for a reply.

 

[wyy123]

I already got accepted for the MFA program.

 

[BlackJack23]

jedimastere,

I'm in the same boat as you man. Still waiting.

That's odd. You living in L.A. and all, you'd think they'd want to meet with you in person.
