Higher ACT requirements at ULL though lower GPA requirement, so kind of a wash.

When I started at LSU(1980) all state funded schools were required to accept any in state applicant. That is one of the reasons the schools in this state are so far behind, they have a sort of hole to dig out of. When the laws changed, you saw a lot of resources previously dedicated to remediation available for other things. I did finish at USL, a purely economic decision based on certain life choices I made. LSU will always be my first love. My son will be starting there this fall.
