According to Lousiana Tech's website, the admissions requirements for freshman in-state students require an SAT score of at least 1130. Out-of-state students will need a score of 1240 or 1130 if their GPA is at least 2.5. So I'd say you still have a chance. If you have strong extracurriculars or have taken some AP/IB or honor classes before, those may boost your chances. Other than that, the quality of your essay and recommendations may also boost your chances.

There definitely is hope for you! The average SAT score at Louisiana Tech is 1160, and there are people who get accepted with scores below that. So long as your GPA, essays, letters of recommendation, and extracurriculars are all strong, you will fare well in the admissions process with an SAT score that meets the average of accepted students. If your math score is higher than your reading, that will help your application to tech schools. Hope this helps!
