Times have changed for LSU. They need higher enrollment numbers to fund their operations. The enrollment numbers of in-state white students are basically topped off, growth could only come from increasing out of state students, and in-state minority students.
Question:
Does LSU admit every student that applies and meets the minimum requirements?

In short, yes. But the real answer is much more complicated. In the same way that the GPA and ACT/SAT scores work on a sliding scale (a 4.0 student may be required to have only an 18 on the ACT, while a 3.0 student may require a 23) the scales are different for various races, ethnicities and areas of origin.
The scale for a female student of color is not identical to that of a white male student.
~15% of freshman class is guaranteed for foreign applicants, provided that number applies. Likewise, out of state applicants have a protected segment as well, but it is very small.
