Sorry but LSU is still very easy to get into, don't understand what you are talking about. And alums of other schools should support their school.

this. it doesn't take a genius to get into LSU.

I don't want the dumb people who can't get into LSU to create a negative image of the school I went to. That is why I don't like when ULL, Southeastern, La Tech, and UNO grads go all out for LSU

You don't have to worry, there are plenty of LSU alums that do just that on their own.

Nicholls State is the

There are three factors that will be initially considered for admission to LSU.



•Incoming freshman must have at least a 3.0 academic gpa calculated from academic core courses.
•Students must also have completed at least 18 units of college-preparatory courses.
•Applicants must have a minimum of SAT score (critical reading and math) of 1030 or at least a composite ACT score of 22.

As the Flagship University of Louisiana, LSU does not offer any remedial courses;

PENN STATE Basic Admissions Requirements
The University does not have a minimum GPA or standardized test score used for admission: we consider a combination of your GPA and standardized test scores, as well as a few other factors.

The high school grade-point average (GPA) accounts for approximately two-thirds of our decision. The remaining one-third is based on other factors, which may include standardized test scores (SAT or ACT), class rank, personal statement and activities list.

BAMA
The University of Alabama employs a competitive admission process that includes reviewing and evaluating each application on an individual basis for an applicant's abilities as a student and a scholar. Decisions about the potential for your academic success at UA are based on your performance on the ACT and/or SAT, your high-school grade point average, and your high-school course schedule. (For example: A student with a 21 ACT or 1000 SAT along with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 should be successful at the University.)

UL is on pace to surpass LSU in 20 years or so.

I see no reason why a graduate or student of another school can't be a fan of LSU. I grew up a die hard LSU fan but lived in Thibodaux, LA all my life. Financially and because of the location it makes sense for me to attend Nicholls. Do I wish more than anything that I could be at LSU? Yes. But it just isn't possible. I support Nicholls' athletics and sometimes attend, but in the three years i've been at Nicholls I haven't missed an LSU home football game and hold season tickets to LSU baseball.

The name of the institution that is on the piece of paper I receive when I graduate shouldn't determine who I grew up pulling for, pull for, and will always pull for.

this is gay

Until the late 80's early 90's LSU was forced by the Fed Govt to have an open admission policy because of the imbalance in the percentage of non-white students compared to the overall under-grad population.

Requirement to get in: breathing.
