Application essay review. Accepted applicants only please!
I am applying as a first year student through the early action application on November 1st.
Little backstory, I am a dual enrollment student at Eastern Washington University and am beginning my senior year in high school. I was a full time dual enrollment student during my junior year and will continue to be during my senior year. By the time I submit my application I will have completed 11 college classes and 55 credits I believe. I will also be enrolled in 3 classes and 2 labs this coming fall.
I plan to pursue my undergraduate in engineering, possibly electrical because I plan to own my own biotech R&D. Then I plan to pursue my JD in law. My future goals seem like they don’t align with one another and that is what I am worried about. If I had more words to explain my plan in my essays it would become clearer.
If you have the time to review my essay please PM me!

Focus on summarizing what you plan to do with your biotech R&D and JD in Law, paint the admissions team a strong picture of how you will utilize your time at LMU with the given academic resources and what emphasize what you plan to do after graduation. When I admitted, I was already in college and wanted to transfer, but I had to blend my interest in psychology and art into an essay about my interests in art therapy which they have a very good graduate program in. Once I mentioned terms and topics that are relevant to the field and subject, along with my plans to create my own Art Therapy consulting firm I was admitted to their psychology program. Recently however I have decided to change my undergraduate major to studio art which is fine because If I take an extra class or two, I’ll have enough credits to earn a minor in psychology. I suggest you explain more about your future endeavors and what the LMU education can do to help propel you to your goals. This worked for me, but good luck!
