How to Apply & What’s Next

Steps for enrollment:



The process begins with an online consultation. To talk about your goals and our program -we need to make sure it’s a good fit.

2.) We send you a response email:

– a follow-up letter to the consultation, a confirmation, and next steps. 

What does the letter tell you and what are the next steps and deadlines?
The response letter is the document that formally informs you of the decision to accept you as a student. Decisions can more than just ‘accepted’ or ‘rejected’.  There are five (5) possible outcomes of an application for admission:

Wait List
We have too many applicants requesting admission -therefore we need to narrow applications down to a manageable number! Being put on a wait list is generally a positive sign for your chances of admission. We may ask you in writing whether you would accept being put on the wait list. If you decline, your application to the school is at an end, equivalent to a rejection for admission. If you accept to be put on the wait list you should inform the school in writing via email. This is an excellent chance for you to communicate to the school any fresh information about relevant developments and accomplishments which have taken place since you submitted your application, plus it tells us that you are an effective communicator -extremely important for a photographer. Before you reply, decide whether further information will improve your chances of admission. Your reply to the school should be well thought out, because it is a part of your application process.

Rejection
It is not enjoyable to receive this letter, but it does not necessarily mean that we don’t think that you are the right fit. This could be as simple as we ‘reached the maximum number of students’, it does not necessarily mean that you did not meet the requirements -but it could, and we would tell you in the response letter the exact reason for rejection. This letter will also state if we would like for you to apply again or not.

Your Application Status


Landers Photography School uses email as the official means of communication. You are required to maintain a current email address in our database and to check your email regularly. The excuse, “you never told me”, is unacceptable at Landers Photography School just like it will be when you are in business for yourself!

All offers of admission are provisional and subject to verification.  Please make sure to report accurate information on your application. False information is subject to immediate rejection.
Knowing Your Status
You may know during the consultation, but it is also possible that you won’t know until we send out the response letter. If you feel the need to check on things, please email: [email protected] and we will respond within 24 hours.
