The Decision Drop: A Mysterious Art
Loyola seems to have a knack for keeping us all on the edge of our seats. It's like they're playing a cruel game of cat and mouse, except the mouse is us, and the cat is a giant pile of unopened envelopes. Dramatic pause
Tip: Jot down one takeaway from this post.
While there's no exact date etched in stone, generally, you can expect to hear back within 3-4 weeks of submitting your complete application. But let's be real, who can wait that long? It's like waiting for your pizza order to arrive, but instead of cheesy goodness, you're hoping for an acceptance letter.
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.

Early Bird Gets the... Decision?
If you were smart enough to apply Early Action (usually by November 1st), you might be in luck. Decisions for Early Action applicants typically roll out around mid-December. But remember, "early bird" doesn't always mean "first in line." It's more like being the first person to get to the buffet, only to find out they're out of your favorite dish.
QuickTip: Don’t just consume — reflect.
The Waiting Game: Survival Tips
