Hey guys, feeling a little worried. I'm a junior and Loyola Marymount is on my list of potential colleges. I'm not sure what my GPA should be around to feel confident in my application. Can anyone shed some light on what their average GPA might be? I'm finding mixed information online.
Hello! I understand that searching for the right information about the average GPA for Loyola Marymount University admissions can be a bit tricky. According to the most recent data, the average GPA of Loyola Marymount University's incoming freshman class was roughly 4.01 (on a weighted scale). Keep in mind, however, that this is an average and not a strict cut-off.
Consider striving to exceed that average if you can, but remember this isn’t the sole element of your application. LMU takes a holistic approach, looking at strengths in your extracurricular activities, personal essays, and letters of recommendation. So, even if your GPA is slightly below the average, a particularly compelling essay or a robust history of involvement in extracurricular activities could still make you a competitive applicant.
However, if you're still in your junior year, you have time to try to boost your GPA to bolster your application. Every bit helps! Good luck with your college journey.
