How Long For An Admission Decision? Not an Auto-Admit

I don’t believe my sons portal has that, we will keep waiting!

Ditto

It’s official, DS has been accepted!! Just checked the portal this morning. The application status now says “Congratulations! You have been accepted to LSU.”.Very happy and excited. The mid-term grades must have pushed him over the edge.

Just for the record, at the time of application last September, DS had a 2.89 GPA and 1000 SAT (1040 super score). We submitted his fall semester grades (3.57, DS did very well), which raised his overall GPA to 2.99. Never took the SAT again so that score remained the same. He answered the essays and submitted three strong recommendations.

I hope you all get good news soon! @3child @wcarter ! Let me know, my fingers are crossed for you!

I am so happy for him and I know you’re proud. Hopefully we’ll have good news soon. Will keep you posted !!!

Hi has your son heard back from LSU?

Nope not yet, how about you?

Nothing…we originally applied 12/15. When did you guys apply?

I think he applied sometime in October. He did the questions and submitted more rec’s and mid year grades. His GPA
was low but has improved. I hope he hears something soon. I feel like its not looking to good considering its getting so late.

I I know right. My daughter did better mid term too and she has been accepted other places. Although this is her first choice she’s getting frustrated and so am I. They could have said no a long time ago so maybe there’s hope…I don’t know

Still waiting on an answer from LSU

Did you here from LSU yet? I thought our email said we would know by April 1. We still have not heard.

We have not heard anything however my letter stated no later than April 15th. I called the admissions counselor Thursday and he said they were trying to get them all done by then. This is driving ME crazy…

What is the tuition for LSU. My letter of acceptance and Merit do not match the published online rate? Strange but I almost looks like the offer was not updated with their tuition increase?

LSU has cost themselves some good students this year with the incompetence of its leadership. Two cousins in the military both had kids tire of waiting for a response from LSU. In my case, we decided not to apply. The legislature recently voted to take back a stipend for top students so they could preserve TOPS for those with a 2.5 GPA. It is not a good policy when the top students in the state can go to schools in neighboring states cheaper than the flagship university instate and that aid is guaranteed for 4 years unlike TOPS which the governor and legislature threaten to cut every year.
