<p>I would be surprised if you didnt get in, because other than the GPA you are either qualified or overqualified, like I said in the other thread I was really surprised with how easy admittance was, I mean I got a scholarship with a 1700 on my SATs, but my ACT was probably what they were weighing out, which was 18.</p>
<p>hey!
i'm applying there too, i have similar stats except my SAT is about 300 points higher. i emailed one of the counselors, and after a long long discussion, he said that i should get in no problem.
lmu is really crazy about community service, so i would definitley stress that in your application
maybe i'll see you next fall! :)</p>

... most kids i know i have better scores then got in why did i not get accepted? i go to one of the top private schools in the country</p>
<p>george1231, this is the mystery of getting into any college. You are qualified. Some qualified students with very high test scores and GPAs are rejected, and some with lower scores are accepted. Did your essay convey your desire to go to LMU? Maybe it was just that many similar applicants had been accepted before you and they wanted someone who studied peacock feathers. Who knows? If you want LMU, then hang in there and write them a letter expressing the reasons that you are THE one they should take from the list. They did defer you, so , when they have more room, you may very well be in, but I wouldn't wait for that. If there is no other school that would make you as happy, then start your campaign to get into LMU!</p>
