<p>I really want to go to LMU! I'm a Christian, and I include my faith openly in my application. It's personal, but my faith is highly linked to my turnaround in my education and my desire to go to LMU.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, and I am not applying to Film/TV. :)</p>
<p>SATs: CR - 590, W - 670 [11 on essay], M - 670
GPA: 2.78 (Very bad. But it has been improving constantly. First semester senior year is a 4.40)
3 Strong letters of rec
Very strong essay + optional essay which convey my love for LMU. (2 months of writing/editing! Whew! :) )
I submitted a portfolio of my graphic design/web development work which is true professional quality. (7+ years of experience, self taught.)
My E.C. are not very impressive academic wise. (No clubs, etc. But lots of freelance work that I've done like designing advertising and product branding.)</p>
<p>I am so afraid my GPA will destroy me. I feel a calling to LMU. If I got in I am sure I would just cry in happiness! I really, really want to go there! haha :)</p>
<p>Thanks guys. And good luck to everyone else applying!!!</p>
<p>btw, where on the application can we even submit an optional essay? and are we allowed to submit optional stuff like u did? </p>
<p>anyway. </p>
<p>haha. i dont have much of an opinion. it's a private school afterall, and people above their average stats still get rejected. but it seems like ur conveying a lot of ur personal self in ur application, and ur SATS aren't horrible. i'd say u definitely have a chance, esp with an upward GPA. but again, it's a private school and it's hard to tell sometimes (i know a girl with stellar ec's, awards, and a lot of good stuff, really, and her GPA was something like 3.15, but that was cause she had a medical reason. she applied to NYU and her essay was super good, and got rejected.) definitely best of luck to you. =).</p>
<p>I'm applying for a major in Finance or possibly Entrepreneurial Studies. So I'm just letting everyone know that I'm not applying into the hard-to-get-into film school. :)</p>
<p>I sent you a private message about the other stuff!</p>
<p>haha oh crap. i'm actually applyign to their film school... but how hard is it to get in anyway? cause all they require is an extra essay, unlike usc/nyu where they require tons of crap hahahaha.</p>
