Hey everyone! I'm currently a high school junior looking into LSU. Does anyone know if LSU requires the SAT for admission? I've been trying to figure out my testing plans, so I really appreciate any help!
Hey! As of now, Louisiana State University (LSU) is currently test-optional, meaning you don't have to submit an SAT or ACT score for your admissions application. This test-optional policy has been in place for a few years, but is subject to change in the future. Be sure to check LSU's official channels when you apply to see the most up-to-date policies. LSU will assess your eligibility for admissions based on other factors, such as your GPA, strength of your high school curriculum, and extracurricular activities.
However, keep in mind that submitting a strong SAT or ACT score may help strengthen your overall application, especially if you feel your GPA or other parts of your application may not reflect your true potential. Additionally, some scholarship opportunities might still have test score requirements. It's always a good idea to double-check the specific scholarship requirements when considering your testing plan.
In summary, LSU does not currently require SAT scores for admission, but submitting a solid score might work in your favor. It's good to stay updated on their policy in case any changes occur for your application cycle. Good luck with your preparations and college application process!
