Hi there, I'm a junior looking into Louisiana State University as a potential college option. I can't seem to find specific info on their ACT score requirements. Is there a specific threshold I have to meet?
Hello! Most universities, including LSU, don't typically set specific ACT "cut-off" scores because they embrace a more holistic review of applicants. That said, each college does publish an average or middle 50% score range to give applicants some idea of the score profiles of typically admitted students.
For LSU, the middle 50% ACT composite score range of accepted students typically falls between 24 and 29. Please note that this doesn't mean you can't be admitted if your score lies outside this range—it just means that about half of the accepted students scored within this range.
Remember, your ACT score is just one part of your application. Colleges also take into account your high school GPA, course rigor, extracurricular activities, letters of recommendation, and personal essays. So even if your ACT score isn't as high as you'd like, you may still have a strong application overall. Good luck!
