How to get into LCU

Follow these steps to maximize your chances of getting into LCU. Everything you read above will help prepare you for what you need to achieve to have a shot at LCU, but these steps will take you even further in applying that knowledge and differentiating your application.

Main Academic Excellence that is in line with LCU admission standards.

Score at least a 1045 on the SAT or 64 on the ACT.

Maintain a GPA of at least a 3.58.

Join Extracurriculars that Align with LCU’s Values.

Join your school band, a sports team or another group activity. If Lubbock Christian University values music heavily, for example, then try to participate in an organization related to that topic.

Volunteer in your hometown. Lubbock has tons of ways to be involved beyond just the college. Lubbock Christian University wants applicants that are also good ambassadors for the school - they want students who will give back to the local community and broader Lubbock area in general.

Spend your summer doing something that speaks to your values, personal growth, leadership qualities and other less quantifiable characteristics. LCU needs to see past your test scores and grades - they need to know that you will be a valuable and contributing member of their community. You are more than grades and test scores - your experiences should demonstrate that.

Prepare Your Application

Write a stellar essay that shows Lubbock Christian University something they can’t figure out from the other parts of your application. For a detailed guide on writing the best college essay, check this out.

Get teacher recs that speak to your character. If you know what you’re majoring in and include that in your LCU app, try to have at least 1 recommendation from a teacher in that department.

Apply Before the Deadline. Too many students wait until the last minute to submit their application, and too much can go wrong during this precious time window. Since many students are applying on the last day, it’s possible that LCU’s own system crashes. Don’t risk the added stress this can cause - submit your app a few days early.
