Admission to LMU is selective. Academic record is the primary consideration. Writing ability; accomplishments in academic, artistic, athletic, co-curricular, or work- or service-related endeavors; recommendations; national test scores; and relationship to the University are also given significant consideration.

There are no minimum GPAs or test scores required for freshman admission. Instead, each applicant is carefully reviewed for indicators of academic achievement, preparation, and potential. The application essay can be particularly helpful for students interested in receiving academic scholarships .
