Starting to freak out a bit, I want to apply to LSU. I've taken the ACT, but I'm uncertain if my score is good enough. What's the typical ACT score range they accept?
Louisiana State University (LSU) typically accepts students with an ACT score range between 24 and 29. These are just the middle 50% percentiles, which means that 25% of accepted students scored below 24 and 25% scored above 29.
However, remember that your ACT score is only one part of your application. Other factors such as your GPA, extracurricular involvement, and application essays are also taken into consideration by LSU when making an admission decision.
If you're still worried about your score, one option you might consider is ACT superscoring. LSU does allow superscoring which means they will take your highest score from each section across all test dates to create the highest possible composite score.
It's also important to note that starting 2024-2025 application cycle LSU moved to a holistic admissions process without minimum test score or GPA requirements, meaning all students will be reviewed individually by the admissions committee. Nevertheless, having a solid ACT score could strengthen your application.
