<p>I just checked Collegeboard.com and saw LMU's transfer stats. Wow, is this right?</p>
<p>Students applied: 1,223
Students accepted: 93</p>
<p>What is that, like an 8% admission rate? That can't be right. USC and UCLA are 30 something %, and I'm pretty sure LMU isn't as selective as them. What's wrong with this picture. Although my counselor did tell me that LMU is getting much harder to get into nowadays than it used to be, but this hard?</p>
<p>Are you sure about the # ? Is it 930 or really 93?</p>
<p>The reason for the low acceptance rate may be because LA is so populated and lots of the people living there are looking to stay local and so apply to every LA college and university. This could lead to bunches of people that didn't do so hot in High school applying to places like Stanford, Pepperdine, and Loyola Marymount. That or the above person who said that there maybe a typo is probably correct.</p>
<p>Really? Are you sure about your claims? Any supporting resources and sources? No, i'm not rejecting what you say, i'm just curious about it...</p>
<p>There transfer rate has changed now. College board says there were 276 admitted out of 965 applicants. It's still a discouraging 28%, however, its far better than 8%....<br>
...By the way, did anyone here apply to LMU?</p>

<p>LMU- Low Mental Utilization? =)</p>
<p>I applied there; still waiting to hear. Good to know it's not an 8% transfer rate, but still keeping fingers crossed.</p>
<p>Nice to hear, Vernexto. I have also applied but I have a question. I am from around Philadelphia and applied to LMU as a transfer student. Does anybody know if applying as a transfer to a college so far away helps or hurts my chances? Would LMU see this as an opportunity to fill their Pennsylvania students quota for the year? Or do colleges just like to accept transfer students from in-state? Any insight is appreciated.</p>
<p>A friend of mine transferred from Hofstra(private in NY) to LMU after 1 semester at Hofstra. She was an exceptional writer who win to a prestigious all girls school in LA though so shes not the best model. I saw that stat on collegeboard and I was considering applyin to LMU and USC but I decided on just USC or stayiing at my current school becuase Im not terribly unhappy here at Hofstra Id just be 1000 times happier at USC.</p>
