What to do When Waiting for a Decision
It’s that time of year when applications are complete and the waiting game for decisions and acceptance letters begins! Here are a few tips on what you should be doing with this admission process down-time:
- Check your Applicant Status page and send in any missing documents by December 1st, our priority deadline. (Loyola requires one letter of recommendation, one writing sample, all high school transcripts, and either ACT or SAT test scores). If you have recently sent in documents, give us some time to upload & process them (this can take up to two weeks), so if they’re not on your applicant status page instantly, be patient.
- Visit Campus! We had nearly 2,500 students visit Loyola the past two weekend for our Open House. If you missed the event, you can still visit Monday – Saturday. Click here to register for a Campus Visit!
- Start searching for additional scholarship opportunities. There are many opportunities at Loyola and from outside sources.
- Be Patient! Admission Counselors are reading hundreds of applications per week. We’re just as anxious to send out decisions as you are to receive them! Do be sure to check you Applicant Status Page daily, as this will be the first place your decision is posted. We will also be mailing out acceptance packets, but this will typically take a few additional days.
If you have any additional questions, give us a call at 800.262.2373 or email us at admission@luc.edu.
