I'm pretty sure it is a 3.5 and a 1250 out of 1600 on the SAT(not sure about ACT) to get the golden oaks scholarship which pays for pretty much everything.

eta. Nevermind. It is a 3.0 and a 1330.

List of Scholarship's

10 points on a ACT is a big thing, 10 points and a SAT, not so much

I was at LSU back in the late 70s and I remember that the wrestling team would get into epic brawls with frats and anyone who looked at them wrong. I think that had something to do with the end of the wrestling program.

not trying to bitch or anything, but LSU sure as hell does give a lot of money to out of state students. i didn't get shite from them and im in state.

Honors college is bullshite in my opinion. Thats probably because I didn't get in because I had 29 on the ACT but I find that the kids it are no smarter than anyone else.

Oh, OK. Yeah, a 1330 just weighing the two is pretty good.

Congratulations! I'll be surprised if you're still in it by your junior year.

How hard is it to get a 1330 (wait, does that include writing or not)?


I got a 1390 and I was a National Merit Scholar, so in my humble opinion it's a laudable achievement.

I made a 29 on my ACT first try (which is a 1300 SAT) and was 40th in my class. All of these tests are bullshite. They don't test what you "learned" as much as your ability to perform under pressure. Of course, I'm not stupid, I just slept and never did my assignments.
