Rejected from LMU. Advice, please?

<p>I just got a letter from Loyola Marymount University saying that although my application was strong my academics were not. I also applied to USC and Occidental. I probably won't have a chance at those. Any advice, anyone? I'll probably take some extension courses at UCLA and go to a CC for a semester...</p>

<p>personally, I was glad that i went to community college before I am transferring next fall. I felt that I saved a lot of money and I got quality education</p>
