<p>Hello, just trying to see what my chances are to get into LSU for the Fall 2011 term. I am a survivor of hurricane Katrina. I moved to Florida a couple of years after the hurricane. The school I went to made me repeat a grade because of issues to do with credits from lack of school time after the hurricane.</p>
<p>Gpa- UW:2.6667, W:2.6889
ACT- 19 - English: 20, Math: 18, Reading: 20, Science: 19, Combined English/Writing: 20</p>
<p>I just took the ACT yesterday. The scores you see listed above were from the first and only ACT I ever took with no prep. I am scheduled to take the SAT in March. Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Bump for reply please.</p>
<p>Also should I write an admissions essay? LSU does not require one to my knowledge. I also forgot to mention that I have two recommendations that I am sending (Boss and football coach). Do I need more?</p>

<p>Although your stats don’t qualify for automatic acceptance, see the below info from the admissions web site. It does state that they encourage students to apply and will consider additional information such as letters of recommendation. Good Luck!</p>
<p>There are three factors that will be initially considered for admission to LSU.</p>
<p>•Incoming freshman must have at least a 3.0 academic gpa calculated from academic core courses.
•Students must also have completed at least 18 units of college-preparatory courses.
•Applicants must have a minimum of SAT score (critical reading and math) of 1030 or at least a composite ACT score of 22.</p>
<p>As the Flagship University of Louisiana, LSU does not offer any remedial courses; therefore, students must have an ACT English sub-score of at least 18 or an SAT critical reading score of at least 450. In order to be placed into college-level math, students must have an ACT math sub-score of at least 19 or an SAT math score of 460.</p>
<p>LSU does not require completion of the writing section on the ACT or SAT for general admission. However, students interested in being considered for admission to the LSU Honors College must submit writing scores.</p>
<p>Students not meeting the above requirements for automatic admission are still encouraged to apply. We can take other factors into account to predict your potential for success at LSU. Some of these factors may include: choice of degree program, rank in class, credit in advanced placement or honors courses, rigor of the high school curriculum, grade trends, extracurricular activities, and letters of recommendation. If you would like to appeal a decision, please contact our staff. We want to work with you to do everything possible to see you become part of the LSU family.</p>
<p>Thank you so much for your help. I really do appreciate it. Any additional information from other posters is highly welcome.</p>
<p>what are my chances? I have a 3.48 UW. i have a 3.78 W (on LSU’s scale) I have a 29 ACT. I have a 31 on the English section, a 35 on the Math section, and an 8 out of 12 on the Writing section. I am in the top 25% of my class. I took World Geo Honors, Algebra 2 Honors, English 1 Honors, and Biology 1 Honors in 9th grade. I took Civics/Free Enterprise Honors, Calculus AB AP, English 2 Regular, French 3 Honors, and Chemistry Honors in 10th grade. I took American History Honors, Discrete Math Honors, Physics 1 Honors, and English 3 Honors in 11th grade. I play tennis and violin competitively. I am ranked in the state of Louisiana. I also won the 2010 Louisiana Junior Team Tennis Championships. I was in the 2009-2010 All-State Orchestra. I am also planning to try out for the 2010-2011 All-State Orchestra. I also won the 2010 Yale Science and Engineering Award. I also won at Science Fairs and Mu Alpha Theta Competitions. I am in clubs such as Mu Alpha Theta, Science Club, National Honors Society, Interact Rotary Club, Indian Student Association, Habitat for Humanity, and International Cultural Association. I could not fit any AP classes into my schedule in my junior year so I couldn’t take any. And since I am autistic and have ADHD, I couldn’t perform to my academic potential for my freshman, sophomore, and junior years. I had broken my arm in the ninth grade,my grades fell and I couldn’t take notes and everything just went downhill after that. A symptom of autism is that it’s harder to relax and perform to your academic potential. I learned that later on and I changed it. I am also going to be taking AP exams in Calculus BC and Chemistry? What are my chances at the LSU Honors College? Can dealing with my disability be a hook factor?</p>
