Hey everyone, I'm genuinely interested in Louisiana State University and I've been trying to find out what GPA they require for admission. Can anyone here provide that info for me? Thanks so much!
Hello! Louisiana State University (LSU) does not have a strict GPA requirement for admission, but they do provide a general guideline for applicants. LSU's middle 50% of admitted students have a high school GPA between 3.5 and 4.1. Generally speaking though, LSU looks for students with a competitive 3.0 GPA or higher on a 4.0 scale for their high school coursework. Keep in mind that the admissions process is holistic—they consider a variety of factors including coursework rigor, test scores (if submitted), extracurricular activities, and personal statements.
To increase your chances of admission, it's a good idea to strive for a higher-than-average GPA and participate in activities that demonstrate your interests and passions. Make sure your application also includes strong personal statements that showcase your unique perspective and potential contributions to the LSU community.
Best of luck with your application!
