Application Info

Join the pride and become an LMU Lion. We welcome students from all backgrounds looking to take part in an educational journey filled with purpose, meaning, and limitless life possibilities.

Fall semester first-year applicants can apply for Early Decision (binding), Early Action (non-binding), or Regular Decision. Early Decision and Early Action applications will be reviewed based on the academic record through the end of junior year. All applicants are given equal consideration.

Admission to LMU is competitive, and the applicant review process is guided by the same philosophy as our education: we consider the whole person. Along with strong academic performance, standardized test results, and positive recommendations, LMU also takes the time to learn more about you, your achievements, and community contribution. Our thorough evaluation results in a competitive selection of qualified students: 44 percent of applicants were accepted in 2019. To apply to LMU, complete and submit an application for admission, including our LMU-specific questions and essays.
