That's a crazy # of applications. Does this block spots for local kids that are on the bubble to get in?

"Spots" are taken when someone accepts and enrolls (whatever that nominal fee used to be before you actually registered).

If recent years are an indication LSU will admit close to 70% of them, and around 20% of the admitted will actually end up enrolling at LSU in the fall. Also, if following the past 2 falls whites will make up less than 50% of the new incoming 2026 fall freshman class enrollees (49.96% of incoming 2024 fall freshman class & 48.6% of incoming 2025 fall freshman class). The 2024 fall freshman class was down to 47% submission rate of ACTs or SATs to be considered for admissions and scholarships. The particular common data set report that includes the ACT/SAT submission rates of new freshman enrollees - FIRST-TIME, FIRST-YEAR (Freshman) ADMISSION - has still not been posted online for the fall of 2025, and I can’t find the same data in its new dashboards yet.
