Hey community, I was just wondering what Loyola Marymount's acceptance rate is. I'm wondering about the competitiveness of their admissions process. Does anyone have any experiences to share?
Loyola Marymount University (LMU) has an acceptance rate between 41 - 47%. This is a moderately competitive rate; it means there's a good amount of selectivity, but they do accept roughly half of the students who apply.
The average high school GPA of the admitted freshman class at LMU was 3.96 on the 4.0 scale indicating that primarily A- students are accepted and ultimately attend.
The school ranks in the top 40% of universities in the country in terms of selectivity. However, with a strong application - particularly with strong grades, rigorous coursework, solid essays, and meaningful extracurricular engagements - many students still find success in being admitted.
As in any application process, it's not just the grades that matter. Have a thought towards curating a balanced application that puts forth your achievements both in and out of the classroom. Show LMU that you have a genuine interest in the school and that you've taken the time to learn about its programs and community. This can help differentiate your application from others.
