Potential Fall 2015 Transfer

Colleges and Universities A-Z Loyola Marymount University

<p>Dear Friends,</p>

<p>Hello! I am a current rising sophomore at a university in the Pacific Northwest, and looking into transferring to Loyola Marymount University for the 2015-2016 academic year. Since the Common Application is live, so is my anxiety haha.</p>

<p>I don't think there is a form started, but I would like to get one going. Also, I'm looking into insights to myself as a potential Loyola Marymount transfer:</p>

<p>College GPA: 3.25 (extremely low, I know)
Major: Pre Business Administration and Asian American Studies</p>

<p>Extra-Curriculars:
Involvement/Clubs (Unpaid)
*Marketing/PR Internship under the Student Government's Asian Student Commission
*Committee Member in the Taiwanese Student Association
*First-Year Interest Group Instructor (Spring 2014-Autumn 2014), teaching incoming first year students about the university, includes grades, syllabus, assignments
*Social Media Coordinator in a Pan-Asian Leaders Business Club
*Curricular Leadership Education Committee Member, under the school's Leadership Initiative to allow access and visibility of leadership education to all types of students (mostly undergraduates)
*Member of the Intercollegiate Taiwanese American Student Association</p>

<p>Paid/Work
*Worked in a tea shop since January 2014 until present
*Worked in another tea shop in California since May 2012 until present (working when I'm back home)
*Residential Education Programmer, facilitating discussions about education through programming in the residency halls</p>

<p>Have two potential letters of recommendations in mind. Did you find that the letter of recommendation gave you an advantage?</p>

<p>Recently took four community college courses, receiving three A's and a B, GPA totals to about 3.73. Does LMU value this in their calculation, the combination to my current GPA + community college GPA?</p>

<p>Thinking about transferring based on potentially being denied to my business major (will be applying in October 2014) and wanted to keep my options open. Looking into applying LMU's Business School. Any successful transfers want to share tips? </p>

<p>I transferred here this fall. I had a 3.8 GPA, and am an online marketing manager, business owner, and I teach psychology at a high school. The CBA is getting much more competitive because of their high rankings (accounting is tied with MIT and Cornell).</p>

<p>Overall I would keep my options open because that GPA is barely competitive these days.</p>

<p>Im so nervous…applied for spring 2015…bio major, 3.8 GPA…I think its gonna be tough all around since they only let about 350-400 transfers in a year…I think it all boils down to majors and the pool for film is quite a large one, but Im sending best wishes your way. Sent my application in 2 weeks ago and the anticipation is killing me. Really hoping that I will find out in 4-6 weeks…did you get your mypaw login info yet? I called and they said theyd be sending it out later this week…which makes me a tad antsy because I’m not sure if that pushes my wait time back to the deadline (3days ago)…stressful times</p>
