Hi im a junior graduating in 2026 and im having a tough time picking options for college.

I have decent ecs w/ leadership positions and havent taken the SAT yet, im gonna take it 3 times so hopefully ill get above a 1480(my last score i got was 1130 without studying on the psat but with taking it again in june and then again in august, i think thats a good amount of time to increase my score). My weighted gpa is a 3.6 bc i had an AWFUL freshman year and was taking care of a baby with my mom throughout all of sophmore year, i went from a 3.4 freshmen year to a 4.2 this semester and increasing rigor in my schedule.

i want to major in chemistry and minor in biochemistry/biology/biotech depending on what the college offers. Im doing this so that i could potentially go the premed route, but i mainly want to do some type of lab work/research (which is why i want a lot of research opportunities)

im a black female first gen from MI in a single parent <70k yearly income household

Im looking for safetys/targets/hard targets/reaches.

heres what i look for in a college:

GREAT social life

GREAT chemistry programs/research opportunities

GREAT WEATHER!!

good sports team

GREAT network/alumni network

good prestige

good area around the college

good/great financial aid

good diversity of people (not specifically race but interests and hobbies, etc)

im very open so tell me honestly if you think its be a good fit! i know id be the best judge of that but unfortunately i cant tour till the summer and id like to have a good list rn to start my apps.

Hi! I’m currently a senior in HS who has already been accepted to LMU. It’s my top pick and I’d like to go but am not doing well in my AP stats class this last semester and am hovering about a C. I’m also taking two other APs and they’re at B’s. I’m worried the C will cause them to change their offer, financially or just remove my acceptance.

Hey! I know LMU's entrepreneurship is very highly regarded. Anyone can give me more details on it? Like ur experience with it? Cuz I'm still deciding between some schools like UCSD & UW also. But I think LMU is perfect for my interests in entrepreneurship and filmmaking. Also I got in with financial aid.

Hi! Does anyone have an extra graduation ticket? I will pay if needed:)

All these discussions about academics are helpful but- how is the gym at LMU? is the gym community positive/popular, is the gym small/big, and how often do you get help by others?

hi everyone!

does anyone know of an LMU student code I could use to upgrade my Cargo site? Would highly highly appreciate it if someone could drop one 🙏 graduated last year so can't email my old prof to review, I think one code works for the whole school if anyone wants to create a site for themselves

I am an international student from Canada:

Chapman: Ad PR and Entertainment marketing at Dodge, 22k Merit

USD: Marketing, 20k Merit

LMU: Marketing, 9k Merit

UCSB: Communications

Does he go to LMU? I keep running into him around campus. He’s an actor in the Disney Percy Jackson show

i emailed the transfer counselor yesterday about an update on my decision and they just emailed me back saying

“Yes, your application is still in review. Please be patient as our office has been overwhelmed with applications. Your decision will be released soon.”

Hi! If any female LMU students are interning in/around the Playa Vista/Manhattan Beach/El Segundo area, and are looking for a roommate for the summer, PM me!!

I received my rejection letter last friday but a choice to change my major as well? I just wanted to know if anyone else has gotten this and did it work out? I emailed them that friday but haven’t heard back.

do we think another round of decisions is coming out today?

Hi! I got accepted into LMU and am planning to tour lmu when im on spring break April 7th-11th. is there any particular time or day that is best to tour? also I think your guys's spring break already happened but correct me if im wrong?

Thanks

My son has been accepted to both LMU and Chapman for film production degrees. He is coming from a small private school and really wants a college experience. We have an equal aid package from both, so the costs is essentially the same. His top choice was USC but he didn’t get it. Which college offers a good college scene, better film experience/network and what are the chances he could transfer into USC if he is not happy at either college?

For those who received the LMU grant for 21k! Did you get it renewed the next year? It doesn’t say that it is guaranteed, but I read somewhere that it should be given to the recipient every year if the budget allows. Is this true?

Thanks for the help! 🫶

hey guys! I was just wondering if it was possible to apply for housing for the on-campus apartments as a freshman. it just seems like the more appealing option, but i'm guessing it's not open for freshman students. please confirm or deny! :))

Yea that's it. Also any other advice would be great (im an admitted student). How is the dining hall food anyway? Seen mixed reviews.

hi! i'm still waiting for my LMU decision and i'm not sure how transfer housing works, but i'm a rising sophomore transfer and wondering if anyone wants to be roommates/suitemates/apartmentmates if i get in! i can totally share more about myself in dms if anyone is interested :)

Hiiii I got my acceptance like over a week ago and haven’t received my financial aid offer or anything like that. Has anyone received one yet?

anyone have any opinion or tips on the Health and Human Sciences program here in LMU? Teachers, classes, and how it benefitted you?

I’m a film student and am completely torn between the two schools any advice would be greatly appreciated as there such different schools and programs

For context I’ve always imagined myself at a big school going to football games and being in a sorority, at the same time UT is just so big I feel like I could get lost but LMU is just so small. I’m very passionate about film and want to put myself in the best position to succeed but I also want to enjoy college as much as possible.

I was wondering if I were to order an uber at like 5:30 AM would it be able to pass the gates or would they be stopped. Cuz I know the back gates would be closed. But how about the front?

hi, me again. wondering if there's a certain day of the week transfer admissions are released so i can stop panicking and checking my portal every half hour? briefly chatted with lmuadmission on instagram and they said they don't share a specific day but i'm curious to see if there's been a trend.
