Hi,
I applied to LMU, but I’m worried my scores don’t match their standards. I have a 3.4 GPA and 24 ACT. I’m also worried that my essays were unordinary/unusual for the colleges. Is there anyone who’s applied in the past or is waiting for a response that is or was in the same boat as me?
Thanks.
I just got accepted last night and my gpa is about 3.00 and I didn’t really think my essays were exceptional either. Just remember that there’s a lot more to your application than just those things!
@cdecker992 Congratulations! Thanks a lot for your response, I guess I’ll just wait and see what happens. Hopefully the outcome is good.
Congratulations! I’m still waiting to hear back. Can I ask what your declared major is and your score on the ACT or SAT? Mine was low - 25.
Just wondering if you’ve heard back as yet … I’m in the same boat.
@Lalo I’m still waiting to hear back.
Will keep you posted.
Can I ask your score on the ACT or SAT? And volunteer work? Also are u coming from a Catholic high school?
@Lalo I got a 24. Out school requires us to have 40 hours of community service, but the most significant work I’ve done is planting trees in a developing neighborhood in Detroit. I’ve also done tech theater for 2 of the plays in my school. I’ve also done sailing, snowboarding. Idk if that helps though. I’m not from a catholic school.
@Lalo I also took a college class at USC during the summer last year and got 4 college credits
Thanks for responding back. I meant to send the score question to someone else … the person who got in with a 3.0 … didn’t mean to repeat myself with you.
@Lalo ohhhhhh sorry
Lol
Anyone else still waiting?
@Woodst0ck yea I’m still waiting. Is LMU ur first choice? I’ve been seeing u post stuff on different boards.
@DrPoopyhead69 My top choices are in state private… LMU and Cal Lutheran. Fingers crossed and praying!
Also waiting on decisions from USF, USD, CU Boulder and USC…which I feel is out of reach at this level since I wasn’t accepted at Pepperdine.
@Woodst0ck USC is my first choice, but its very out of reach considering the competitiveness and people they accept. Im hoping on LMU, but I was looking back at some of the previous RD boards from other years and it seemed like people who waited this long were waitlisted or denied. Idk if it will be the same this year, but Im hoping its not.
Has anyone heard back yet? I’m really scared. LMU is my top choice
Any word as yet from LMU?
Son just heard he is wait listed and won’t hear until May now. They said they had 15K applications for 1350 slots.
