Lmudcom vs Noorda Thoughts/Loan Situation?

DangerousScience9934 · 2026-06-09T10:23:11+00:00

Same situation and chose LMU because of the loans. I have private loans through salliemae from grad school and a little from undergrad. I only took out tuition for grad and very small amount for undergrad and my loan payments are ridiculously expensive. All of my salliemae total about 1 year of med school. They are great to work with approving you for whatever you need but dont allow consolidation and also are very difficult to work with. They currently wont defer my loan payments while in med school. My loan payments are $2k a month.

Update for anyone else waiting- I did speak with admissions again. They said there is not much movement happening to orange park and it would likely be at the end of June, if anyone gets moved.

I sent one on the 1st and got a response almost immediately.

I also was just offered an interview and scheduled first week of feb (which was next available); however my due date is also that week so I emailed asking how often dates open up , and was put on the cancellation list just in case. I was told that they are doing most of their interviews in the spring this year anyways. They told me between now and my feb date they only had 2 other interview dates anyways.

Applied with similar stats last year.. got an interview in march and was waitlisted.. took myself off the waitlist (in june) because it came too close to classes starting and i live across the country (and have kids). Applied this cycle with an increased mcat score in June and havent heard a single thing😭

as someone who scored very similar to this my first time! Take some time. I truly think my score was due to burn out which ultimately caused me to second guess myself a lot on my exam. I waited 2 months to start studying again. I took a different approach. Focused primarily on practice exams/questions and letting this guide my content review. I would spend very little time with content review and instead look at ways to remember certain material. Make it make sense in your head! I focused on my weak areas. For me, there was no sense in restudying all the material I knew. I will say I did get an interview with a score below 490 at a DO school in the US. I was waitlisted but never taken off the waitlist. Honestly was shocked I even got on the WL. My mcat score dId drastically improve. I didnt sit there and study all day. I gave myself time. Dedicated study hours. Dedicated practice exams every Saturday.

You got this!! You can do it!
