i finally got mine yesterday after a month
accepted today! does anyone know when they send an aid offer?
did anyone negotiate scholarships?
@peasantdrama: rt, if anyone knows if there is an admitted students chat let us know please!
Im not positive, but I think aid offer may have come with admittance. If you are unsure, call the admissions office and they would be able to tell you of any offer!
10:41
@AbnormalAcceptableToucan: there is an admitted students chat! when they send you your admission pack in the mail, theres a link to a facebook group. once youre admitted to the Facebook group, scroll down until you see the post about the group me

BeFree03
11:23
i haven't heard anything from lsu since my app went under review, so i am not sure. I know a lot of schools include it with their acceptance emails. have you heard a decision from them yet?
RuthlessLargeSwordfish
15:22
no i havent, but I work here and the general rule rn is there has been no wave given out
BeFree03
17:19
well, if you hear of any upcoming waves please let me know!! Im really hoping they will give us something before thanksgiving break but i may be too optimistic
17:46
I absolutely have been given an acceptance email
17:46
and they changed my status tracker
17:48
Per the admissions employee on the phone: "LSU sends out their scholarship offers with the admissions packet in the mail. This normally comes a few weeks after your acceptance."

honey, i said wave, I am not negating your one acceptance.
BeFree03
10:50
according to lsd, every cycle except the past two, they have waited until a few days before christmas before they send out the first wave. it seems like they may be reverting back to those timelines :/
BeFree03
10:51
but if im being honest, i see much larger schools sending out acceptances much earlier so idk why they are taking so long
13:54
pardon my ignorance haha. I thought that there are no acceptances outside of "waves."
13:55
I hope things come soon for you guys!
