Hey, I'd like some help here! I'm planning on applying to LSU, but I'm not sure what ACT score they're looking for. Is there a minimum ACT score or a range that would give me a good chance of getting in? TIA!
LSU doesn't have an explicit minimum ACT score requirement, but having an idea of their middle 50% score range can be useful in determining what scores make for a more competitive application. For LSU, the middle 50% ACT score range for admitted students tends to be around 23-28. This means that 25% of admitted students score below 23, 25% score above 28, and 50% of admitted students score within that range.
While a score within this range would be considered competitive, remember that LSU takes a holistic approach to admissions, meaning they also take into account other factors like GPA, coursework rigor, extracurricular activities, and recommendation letters. It's essential to put effort into all aspects of your application to increase your chances of being accepted.
Keep in mind that if your ACT score falls outside the 23-28 range, you may still have a chance at acceptance, especially if the other parts of your application are strong. Similarly, having an ACT score within or above the range doesn't guarantee admission since other factors will also be considered.
Good luck with your application process!
