2022 Enrollment

[CajunVic]

A few years ago Louisiana had the valedictorian from every single school in a certain circumference enroll here. I wish I could find the story.

I remember seeing something about that . . . and I know a few smart kids who enrolled and did well here.

The dual enrollment program is paying off. R1 Status is a booster.

It helps that the winning football program the last few years helped get the schools name out there.

When a potential high school senior hears about Louisiana's R1 status they don't have to say ... "Who?"

Sorry Turbine but football success is not driving kids to coming to school here.

UL’s admission requirements are too easy. Smart kids do not want to enroll here.

Smart kids will go anywhere that has a quality degree program for which they are interested in.

Don't kid yourself, Covid aside, Louisiana has always shown an attendance bump after a successful football season.

These incoming freshmen couldn't care less about football, but they are not immune to the advertising effects of hearing the school mentioned over and over (in a good light) their senior year of high school.

Raise the admission standards is what I’m saying.

Q: Have the admission standards been lowered since Louisiana enrolled 82 valedictorians in one semester?

No, but they’re still relatively lower compared to other schools we aspire to be like. Other R1’s have higher admission standards.

My valedictorian son was in that class.

As far as I know, we still have the highest admission standards of any public university in the state. It’s been that way for about 10 years
