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.

Now tell me how many where not on student loans?
The few I talked to 18-25 age think its free and will never have to repay loan.

This is a product of both the Education and the English Departments at almost all universities being insanely liberal.
Along with the publishing industry which is probably just as liberal and radical as academia.

Yes..I get it. But I'm sure LSU only sends out so many invites at a certain time. So of the 62000, if 30000 are qualified and recieve invites, would that hold invites from others, like a Louisiana kid that would accept immediately

Even though it seemed to be delayed well past the fall census date the LSU website does have a lot of data for fall 2025 including the overall average ACT score for the entire incoming freshmen class, census reports, and some other reporting in GUI dashboards that seem to have some crossover to the common data set; but the official common data set report for the incoming 2025 fall new freshmen class (actually nothing for fall of 2025 yet) has not posted yet which is where I have found the ACT/SAT submission rate %s for the new/first time fall freshman enrollees in the past. It’s been revised in the spring in the past, but the specific reporting I used is based on the fall census numbers and doesn’t require spring census data (which seems late as well) or end of spring data.
