Hey everyone, I am currently preparing to apply to universities and LSU is on my list. I was wondering if anyone could tell me about LSU's SAT requirements. I want to be careful about where I put in my efforts. Appreciate any help!
Louisiana State University (LSU) is still test-optional for the 2024-2025 application cycle, but keep in mind that these requirements can vary from year to year. While you are not required to submit SAT scores, having scores near or above LSU's average can only help your application.
As of the most recent data, the middle 50% range for LSU is between 1150-1300. This means that half of the admitted students scored within this range. Typically, you'd want your score to fall within or ideally exceed this range to be a competitive applicant. However, LSU does maintain a holistic review process, meaning your SAT score is not the only factor they consider when making admissions decisions.
Besides your test scores, factors like your GPA, course rigor, extracurricular activities, leadership roles, and application essays also play an important role in your application. So, while acing your SATs is beneficial, remember to put in equal effort into maintaining a high GPA and crafting a compelling application. Good luck with your college applications!
