@txmom9977 Yes he applied to UT also. Super reach I think he just applied to see if he could get in, but, A&M was his top choice, especially getting into Mays. I have an Aggie, its been decided!! So excited
Honestly it was between LSU and A&M in the end.
@coltcali Congrats- thatās awesome! We are waiting on UT now- it may be a very long wait from what I hear- lol
@txmom9977 Good Luck!!
does anyone know when the next round of admissions decisions are coming out for LSU?
I applied 10/15, had my SAT scores received 10/29, and heard back last night (11/5), though didnāt see until this morning. Accepted to LSU and the Ogden Honors College!!!
Congratulations on your acceptance to LSU & the Honors College!
@klowie Thank you!
Does anyone know when merit scholarships will begin to be released?
A few weeks ago, I looked back at the posts from last year for the Class of 2024 & it looks like people first started getting their merit info towards the end of December. Who knows if it will be the same this year or the same for everyone, but itās nice to have a time frame in mind.
Hi! So Iām a bit confused. The portal was updated with an Ogden application request, which my D submitted, but there wasnāt an acceptance email or a portal acceptance? I thought that Ogden was available only after being accepted? Now, after submitting the application for Ogden the prompt and green check has disappeared. Does anyone have an idea on what this means? Iāve emailed admissions and will post response. Just wanted to ask the question in case others have the same issue. Thank you!
Here is the explanation:
For admission, we have traditionally required that students submit the writing test of the ACT or SAT. However, in light of test disruptions caused by COVID-19, we are currently exploring possible substitutions for this longstanding ACT/SAT writing test requirement, one of which is the optional essay. Ultimately, only one of the writing samples need be submitted for admission, but you are welcome to submit either (or both) methods.
I hope this helps. If you have any other questions about the Ogden Honors College or application, please feel free to contact me.

**My guess is that it posted to all studentsā admissions portals, both those who have already been accepted and those who are still waiting to hear. My son has already been accepted to LSU & the Ogden Honors College & it posted to his admissions portal after he was accepted to both.
Thank you!!!
My son was accepted a few weeks ago. Then about a week later was asked to submit the essay for Ogden. We did check the box in the Common App to be evaluated for Ogden, but we missed the part where you were supposed to submit the writing portion of the SAT, which he never took. As stated above this must be how they are allowing for an additional method of submission.
I applied in late September and got my portal a few days later. Does anyone know when Iāll hear back???
@Jdavis21 My Dās submission was complete (scores, recs) on 9/29 and she heard on 10/29
D received a big purple card in the mail this weekend with a 3-D pop up congratulations message; reiterating acceptance to LSU and Ogden. Very nice touch! Nothing on merit $ yet, though.
My son received his, too! Itās definitely the best acceptance letter Iāve seen so far this year or 4 years ago when my older son was a senior in high school.
My daughter applied in early September but was waiting for test scores. These got received in early November so should hear back soon. Do they only notify by mail or email/portal notification? Thx
@jmg11534 My D got an email advising her a decision was ready in the portal, and then got a nice card/letter in the mail a couple weeks later. Good luck!
Honestly, it varies when youāll hear back. I applied on 11/11 and was accepted on 11/12. Just this week I got the admission letter mailed and my family and I were very excited.
My daughter got an email asking if she wanted to switch to test optional yesterday. Make me think this will delay response another few weeks.
