LSU admissions office “are you there”

Waiting on acceptance only? Not scholarship or anything?

Do they send this out digitally now is is it still snail mail?

I'll make some calls. Hang tight.

Eta: On a serious note, best of luck to your kid.

LSU admissions office “are you there”
We applied in December still have not heard. Not a yes not a no.

you must be white then, if you are then thats not even worth an admissions reply, they probably thought you were just joking

Do people even get turned down from LSU?

You applied really late. Give it some time, I’d imagine you’ll hear something in the next month.

They’re all ‘working from home’

I used to work in admissions at LSU. I wouldn’t be surprised if one of the following is the issue:

1. STS - the state transcript system - hasn’t loaded your daughter’s transcript to state schools that she indicated an interest in on the ACT yet (or it has and they are just stuck in cyber space). Call LSU and find out. If this is the case, demand that her school manually emails the transcript to LSU (preferably her representative at LSU). This email must come directly from her guidance counselor though.

2. Your daughter doesn’t meet 100% of the requirements and maybe meets most of them, putting her in an exception pool that someone higher up in Admissions has to arbitrarily decide when and how to consider those in her situation. If this is the case, you need to contact LSU and her recruiter/representative every day and point out why she needs to be admitted. Don’t bother with mentioning all the extra curricular activities because they don’t mean shite to LSU, I promise you that. If there were extenuating circumstances - actually significant things out of her control that may have caused her GPA to be a little lower - then put those in writing and email it to the admissions representative, the director of admissions, and whoever else you can find higher up. The provost would be a decent one as well. You want to be on their radar when it’s time for reception pool to be considered.

3. Her school counselor is dragging feet with getting info to LSU.

College choice should be focused on fit and not family alumni or sports allegiance.

Set your kid up with the best chance of success by going to a school that wants your kid. Your kid should be in the top 25% of that college’s (GPA/SAT-ACT) attendees. They will get Merit money and be able to finish in 4 years, or under. Uni’s love the 5 year, full price kids.

Those kids accepted later in the process are what the university needs to pay for the kids that they want. If you haven’t heard by now, then they don’t want your kid.
