Hey y’all. I've been looking into LSU and it looks pretty sweet but I'm not sure what they require for the application process. If anyone can share more about LSU's application requirements or any tips for getting an application started, I'd really appreciate it.
Applying to Louisiana State University (LSU) does require several key elements. Here are the official application requirements:
1. Application: The first thing you'll need to do is complete the application, which is available online through LSU's website.
2. Application Fee: There's an application fee of $50 for domestic students and $70 for international students.
3. High School Transcript: LSU requires a copy of your high school transcript. This transcript should include all courses and grades earned from grade 9 through at least the first semester of grade 12.
4. Standardized Test Scores: LSU is test optional.
5. Academic Résumé: While not required, an academic résumé that details your achievements, activities, employment, and community service can provide LSU with a comprehensive understanding of your high school experience.
6. Optional letters of recommendation: LSU does not require letters of recommendation but will consider them if submitted.
As for beginning the application process, it's best to start by assembling all of your academic records and gather any potential material for the résumé and letters of recommendation. You could also consider practicing for and scheduling your standardized tests if you haven't already taken them. Good luck with your application process!
