Did he apply for this spring?

Apologies. I did not realize that autocorrect on my phone had changed August to March. Corrected. He applied in August.

I applied to LSU on 9/18 and just got my acceptance back today (10/18). I applied to the Honors College (10/3) as well but they didn’t tell me if I was accepted into that yet. Nothing about merit was mentioned yet. Pretty sure scholarships and Honors acceptance come out December/January.

I’m assuming (perhaps incorrectly?) that admissions criteria for LSU are not a whole lot different from those of Alabama et al. So if that’s true, is it just that their admissions office is slower? Bama literally accepted my (somewhat unexceptional, stats-wise) OOS child literally barely over a week after submitting application and all supporting admissions materials. I know all schools are different in the way they process this stuff but it’s still a little odd to me.

Y’all, can you login and see if you see the 2024-2025 right above “freshman”. My daughter applied through the common app, but I think it incorrectly loaded for the wrong enrollment year? Wondering if this is just an error that they just didnt update their portal this year or if we should be concerned, since it doesn’t show 2025-2026..

Our shows the same and I asked our admissions rep about it a few weeks ago. We were told that it was fine, and showing 2025-2026 applicant in their system. No answer as to why it says 2024-2025 on the application portal, but assuming it is all good.

Perfect! Thank you for looking into it!

So has anyone else here heard anything recently? Radio silence. Applied before Sept 1. Received portal info beginning of October. Again, stats are not amazing but were good enough for super quick decisions from Alabama, ole Miss and a few other comparable schools. Can’t figure out why they’re so much slower esp since with rolling I thought generally the sooner you apply the sooner you hear back

Radio silence over here as well :face_with_diagonal_mouth:

It’s so annoying

My son applied last year and I remember LSU had several kids waiting into December/January even though they applied very early (September/early Oct). All got in. Just wanted to pass that observation from last year.

I wonder why they’re significantly slower than comparable sec rolling admissions schools

Same! I wonder if its a staffing issue at this point. Not very rolling admissions-like. My daughter has heard from Bama, Ole Miss and UK and even received those packets and a scholarship in the snail mail and still absolutely nothing from LSU. I just dont get it..
