Acceptance Rate95.9%

The open admissions profile makes fit and follow-through especially important: LIM admits most applicants, but its 49% six-year graduation rate means you should look closely at support, cost, and program alignment. Because LIM is test-optional and few students submit scores, send yours only if they are near the top of the range: about 1170+ SAT or 25+ ACT.
