Probably not gonna happen. Tons of schools are test optional now & I don’t see LSU reversing course and risking losing students to this.

Well, since
A. colleges are going to have to compete harder than ever for students now
B. Fewer students means less $$$ to fund administrative positions
I don’t expect LSU to do anything to make it harder to go there.

This is what LSU wanted. So now this is what LSU gets to deal with. Once enough of these kind of episodes go viral - and they will - it'll be one more thing for the flagship to have to counter. But hey.. diversity at all costs.
This certainly isn't your father's LSU.

Unless you are talking about in state white students who take and submit standardized tests to every university they apply to you are full of crap. Standardized tests are voluntary and when actually submitted for admission use the super score as the composite score which LSU’s press releases then compares to the past when true composite scores were used and when tests were mandatory for admission. It allows for inflated grades from high schools with average to poor academics to become honor students at LSU.

I asked Grok about the demographic breakdown at LSU and it listed it by race (that graduated with a degree in 2023):
White: 66.4%
African American: 12.8%
Hispanic/Asian/Other: 20.8%

LSU’s incoming freshman class was 50% white. Next year LSU will have a minority white incoming freshman class. The school is done.
50% is actually the fall 2024 number. Fall 2025 is probably under 50%.
This is not just LSU. Less white males are going to college. If you are not going to school to be an engineer, law school, teacher.. and a few other careers there is almost no point in going.
There are a good bit of jobs out there that people can work their way up. There are a lot of plant related jobs that can be a good career as long as you are not a complete lazy frick.
This is a small amount of people, but I know a few people who has built up their own landscaping business, etc. I guess unless you want to be a professor or teach in grade school going to school to get a history or.... an art degree is pointless.
Its just that things are not the same as they were 20-25 years ago.
That's probably why universities are focusing so much on diversity. They have to appeal to who is going to college.
Before.. What? The mid 80s? It was mostly wealthier people who went to college. Well not wealthier, but mostly upper middle class and up. I graduated HS in 1997 and at that time you just had to get a degree. Almost every job description would have "college degree" as a requirement. It didn't matter, it was said they just wanted to know you committed to school and graduated.
Its just different today.

It’s harder for “non-dynamic” individuals to get in now.
For 50% of enrollees, easier than ever. They wouldn’t have gotten in years ago.
For the other 50%, harder than ever. Need a higher ACT than ever.

My 16-year-old really wants to go to LSU she also likes Ole Miss …..the more and more I see the less I’m willing to let her go there.
It’s a fricking ghetto dump It looks like to me is what it’s become.

I think SLU is only 36% male. That's all males. I'm speculating but I think the high female population at SLU is due to the nursing program. Colleges like SLU and satellite LSU campuses in Eunice and Alexandria are pumping out nurses.

How many submitted ACT or SAT scores (even those would still use inflated super scores as composite score) and what are the ratings and state grades of the high schools and their scores on any state standardized testing done?
ACT and SAT scores were the great equalizers between GPAs from high schools with vastly different academic standards and teaching. Without the tests being mandatory you can get valedictorians who can’t pass state testing for 10th graders like what happened a while back in New Orleans.
