Additional info & updates

After sending a LOC every month to my waitlisted schools, I got a phone call from USD telling me that a spot will most likely open up in the following week and that because I had been constantly sending in these letters, I was their top choice. At the end of the week on Aug. 1, I got an email with my acceptance letter scanned :)

Some updates:
Waitlisted to U of Iowa via email!
Admit to Santa Clara via snail mail.
Rejection to Hastings via email.
Waitlisted to USD via email.
Rejection to Davis via snail mail.

Via snail mail. I believe that's the only method of communication Loyola LA uses for results. Hope that helps!
