Mine too! Also film. It is very exciting. Do you think your student will attend or still waiting on more decisions? What pathway? Directing, cinematography, editing …?
Not the original poster for the question, but my son was accepted for film, chose the production/directing pathway.
We’re still considering b/c while LMU is far and away the best film school he applied to, it’s also far and away the most expensive. He’s also very interested in Korean studies, and LMU only has an Asian studies program, so fewer chances to minor in anything Korean related.
It’ll be a tough choice I think.

3.8GPA unweighted (i forget how many AP’s something like 5 or 6).
1420 SAT
Founder and President of his school’s cosplay club which is pretty active now

I thought his portfolio was good, but I’m biased and I really have no way of telling objectively
I actually meant they deferred him. So we will wait. Have only heard back so far from one other school and it was a yes. Waiting on about a 7 more.
Ah. Understood. It is such a stressful time for the students and for parents!
Son was admitted ED undeclared to arts and sciences school out before Thanksgiving. Got merit info on Friday. Arrupe scholarship of $23k a year for four years plus 2.5k a year for ED. GPA 3.5. Surprised with the level of scholarship considering his GPA. It was described a leadership type scholarship so assuming it was based on other ECs and his essay.
Fantastic! This gives me hope. DD got in EA with a 4.3. Really hoping for some merit money. Also got in to SDSU today and waiting on USD.
Does anyone know how to apply for the LMU Honors Program? The link is not live and it is due 1/15 for EA.
Son was accepted EA to College of Business Administration - he is very excited, it is one of his top choices, he loved the campus when we visited this fall. GPA 3.95 UW, SAT 1460.
Hi! Leaning towards LMU but still waiting for more decisions for RD. Really interested in directing and cinematography.
They seem to have sent it over through an email with the subject “Academic Opportunities.”
Looks like it is live now.
