LSU has implemented a full-file comprehensive review for the past few admissions cycles. This process, utilized by most of LSU’s peers nationally, considers many aspects of a student’s academic performance including high school grades, rigor of curriculum, grade trends, grades in courses related to major interest, a letter of recommendation, optional essay, activities & awards.
LSU considers numerous factors for each applicant. Removing testing means we are considering only one less factor for students who choose not to have this represented in their application. Our admissions committee is trained to understand the context of a high school curriculum and how a student’s performance in high school will predict their potential for success at LSU.
If you choose not to submit test scores, you will not be viewed negatively.
