How near-impossible is it to get into U High for senior year?

I have a friend who is trying to get her daughter into U High from another private school for just her SENIOR year. I am thinking she's out of her mind. I am not sure she understands the selection process.

Besides having a relative who teaches at LSU or being a future star athlete, how does one even get into U High? Especially, if one does not have the grades.

It's pretty rough to accomplish that now.


When I was there we had 3 people join our senior class.

If she's a good athlete and can play right away I bet she can get it. If she is exceptional in something...

How do people get in? Luck, interview well

better together claims the EBRPSS is improving so why try a top failing public school in East Baton Rouge Parish?

Hey they also said everyone can get into BRHS?

Isn't U-High's application period for the upper grades September-March of the previous year? So if she's trying to enter in August, it seems highly unlikely that she would be able to get in, if spots even become available.

Maybe is she's around a 30 on the act and agrees to take it again and push for the 29-30 range so they get the score.

U High is for non-Catholics who don't want to move to Ascension Parish. If you really care about your kid learning something, you send them to Episcopal.

Actually, probably not many people are applying that late in a student's academic career (being her senior year and all), so she shouldn't have much competition at all. It's more a matter of some kid in that grade-level who already goes there moving to another city or graduating a year early (none will "drop out" at that school) opening up a slot that she can fill.
